Potion Horder II can be a great help to players both in early and endgame. Characters are provided with a large number of Sigil slots, and making some space for a support Sigil is a smart move when it keeps a character alive without healing.

The Best Modern-Day JRPGs, Ranked

Modern JRPG titles still definitely live up to older classics. Here's a look at the best of the genre from the last few years.

There is a set number of potions characters are allowed to hold in the game; this Sigil increases that amount, and with upgrading, it improves the type of potions it provides the player.

7 Quick Cooldown

More Consistent Skill Usage

There are many versatile characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink that can handle combat in several different ways. With some characters relying on basic attacks and others on skills. Quick Cooldownis a great Sigil to upgrade for the latter.

Characters like Percival or Vane can greatly benefit from a percentage buff to their skill cooldowns, a buff that grows larger depending on the Sigil's level and the Sigil's grade.

6 Skilled Assault III

Maximize Skill Damage

Skilled Assault III is another Sigil that works well with characters who depend on skills for damage, but can also be used on all characters just to add some extra damage.

Skilled Assault III provides a stacking bonus to skill damage depending on the number of the Sigils equipped, and paired with a few damage cap Sigils, can raise the damage of skills by up to thirty percent. In combination with other sigils, this can greatly improve the consistency of skill users' damage throughout the journey to level one hundred.

5 Improved Guard

More Efficient Protection

There are a number of roles that players can play in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, such as Support/Healer or Tank and DPS. For more supportive players who like to be on the front line soaking up damage and provoking mobs, blocking is going to be an essential aspect of gameplay.

With the Improved Guard Sigil, a player can reinforce their character and increase the amount of hits and damage they're able to block, even from powerful bosses.

4 Stun Power

Faster Stagger

Stunning a target or a powerful enemy can be invaluable during high-level gameplay, allowing for increased damage opportunities for the entire team. Filling up a foe's stun bar will make them susceptible to a link attack. Link attacks are incredibly useful as many characters, like Vane and Zeta, have effects and triggers after successfully striking a target with a link attack.

Three Stun Power symbols at grade III can improve Stun Power for over forty extra damage, leading to a large amount of burst damage during the first stun, and incredibly useful bonus to have against tougher enemies.

3 Critical Damage

Greatly Boost Damage Numbers

More damage is the be-all and end-all of a great build, and the bosses in Granblue Fantasy: Relink are tanky creatures with high resistance. While many avenues exist to increase a character's damage, some characters benefit from specific trait increases more than others.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Where To Get Griffin Feathers

If you're itching to upgrade your gear in the early parts of Granblue Fantasy: Relink, here's where you can get those elusive Griffin Feathers.

Specifically, fast attackers like Charletta and Narmaya, who strike foes many times in a short sequence, benefit from the Critical Damage boost. It's a great Sigil to improve to increase their overall damage numbers.

2 Critical Hit Rate

Increased Lethality Of Attacks

Critical Hit Rate Sigils are another great way to not just to boost the damage capabilities of basic attack characters, but skill users as well. Critical hits are sure ways to max out damage numbers, but boosting the base percentage of this attribute is paramount in achieving as many critical hits as possible.

Most characters have intrinsic boosts to critical strike chance, but critical hit rate Sigils can be a big help in making high-damage characters even stronger.

1 Attack Power

Overall Boost In Damage And Power

Raw attack power is a sure way to increase damage and viability in Granblue Fantasy: Relink's more challenging content. Stacking Attack Power Sigils can provide a more than worthwhile boost to characters, especially when combined with other Sigils like Damage Cap and weapon imbuments.

Attack Power Sigils provide a base stat increase that grows in power with each level and can stack with multiple Sigils.
