In this segment of the video, the main points covered are the concepts of weapon skills boosting auras like Optimus and Omega summons (also known as Primal and Magna), the application of weapon and summon boosts to calculate character damage, the consideration of normal, stamina, and enmity damage modifiers, and the role of summon boosts like Optimus in enhancing damage. Key actions include building a grid with specific weapons and summons to maximize damage output, understanding the damage formula, and noting the impact of summon types on damage modification. Important details include the explanation of normal, stamina, and enmity damage types, the significance of considering weapon skills and summon boosting effects, and the recommendation of consulting others before investing in certain summon types like Optimus.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on Omega boosts, Yex boosts, and elemental boosts in weapon grids in the game being discussed. Omega mods are the free-to-play version of normal mods and are obtained mainly through raids. They lack unbustable options and sources from character buffs, making it easier to combine them with other modifiers. However, Omega weapons can have gaps in options and lower raw numbers compared to normal weapons. Yex mods are rarer than normal mods and cannot be boosted, but some have conditions to make them more powerful. Elemental boosts come from elemental advantage in fights, certain main summons, and character buffs. Crits can be scored against enemies based on elemental advantage or null elements, with crit chance and damage varying. Reaching 100% crit chance is a common tactic for grids to enhance damage.

In this segment of the video, the importance of modifiers such as Third, Stamina, and Sfic in dealing high damage in Elemental content is highlighted. The Sfic modifier, acquired through specific sources and elemental advantage, boosts final damage. Aarum summons for each element enhance Sfic and are advised for upgrading. Bosses have varying defenses impacting damage dealt. Understanding the damage cap and supplemental damage cap in Grand Blue Fantasy is essential, as they limit damage output. Damage cap acts as a bottleneck to prevent players from becoming too strong, affecting the effectiveness of damage as it reaches the cap. The video also introduces a list of different versions of the damage cap for reference and explanation.

00:12:00

In this segment of the video, the main points discussed are the various types of damage caps in the game, including excluding fight exclusive cap ups like sandbox weapons skills and guide books. The speaker emphasizes that it is not feasible to include every single type of cap up in your grid without sacrificing your damage output.

They explain the concept of supplemental damage, which adds flat damage to certain types of attacks and is applied after the damage cap, increasing maximum damage output and working well with multi-hit attacks. It is noted that supplemental damage on skills and charge attacks are affected by soft cap, while supplemental damage on normal attacks and additional effects are not.

The video also touches on the hard damage cap, which limits the maximum amount of damage that can be achieved in one instance of damage, primarily reached by powerful charge attacks to prevent skipping raid triggers or one-shotting bosses. The hard damage cap differs based on the content being played. Characters and weapons can increase the hard damage cap for charge attacks, but the additional damage beyond the cap is typically minimal.

In this segment of the video, the main points covered include understanding damage calculations in Granblue Fantasy, the process of creating a grid, and key considerations such as choosing a compatible comp based on the fight, selecting suitable summons, and maximizing cap up and supplemental damage types. The importance of main auras and optimal weapon grids for different compositions is highlighted. Examples involving characters like Kango and Vira are discussed, emphasizing the use of specific weapons and summons tailored to their playstyle for optimal grid building in mid to late game setups. Ultimate weapons and sfic modifiers are recommended for maximizing damage output.

In this segment of the video, the main points are about optimizing the Magna water grid setup for increased CA cap up. The key actions include incorporating Tyros Zithers, Shringers, awakenable weapons, Ecke Sachs, and Bahamut weapons into the grid. Suggestions are made for Opus and Sficc selections, focusing on skill cap, stamina, and chain burst cap up keys. Summon recommendations include powerful sub-auras like The Moon, Biub, and Gabriel, as well as an ad Justice for additional HP. The composition aims to leverage Spartan’s strong auto-based buffs with a focused Opus setup.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing a grid for a specific composition in the game. They recommend using specific weapons such as Opus and Ultima, along with Gail Wings and Destiny Knuckle for maximizing damage output. The grid consists of generic cap up, special cap, and auto-attack amplify modifiers. Summons like Raphael and S. Bilo Subora are suggested for additional damage multipliers and helpful effects. The speaker emphasizes creating a well-balanced grid to suit the specific characters brought to Cosmo content.

00:24:00

In this segment of the video, the focus is on building an effective team grid in the game. The recommended characters for this grid are Chaos Ruler and Feower (Fial). Strategies involve using multi-hitting skills with debuffs and recasting charge attacks. Key actions include slotting in Pain and Suffering to maximize general supplemental effects and using Babel-mandb and Axe Ultima for effect and crit chance. The grid includes Eternal Signatures, Parazonium for Echo boost, and weapons for EX modifiers and health. Recommended summons include Beelzebub, Bahamut, and Uriel for boosting charge attacks.

00:27:00

In this segment of the video, the main points discussed include using tools to clear content, cautioning against relying solely on the estimated damage calculator provided in the game, emphasizing the importance of testing setups, and highlighting the availability of resources like the game’s wiki, grid guides, GBF guide, and GBF party for assistance with analysis and party setups.
