【Granblue Fantasy】GBF 10th Anniversary Free Giveaway, Weapon Summoning Stone Analysis and Selection Guide

Hello everyone, if there's one big event in the mobile gaming world this March, the 10th anniversary of Granblue Fantasy is undoubtedly a standout.

GBF's anniversary events are famously generous, including the beloved hero of all players, the Greedy Dinosaur Gachapin's roulette event, where you can get anywhere from at least 10 pulls to a whopping 100 pulls per day, sometimes even more, for nearly a whole month.

Reaching the 10th anniversary, aside from the roulette, there's a plethora of free handouts for players to choose from, including items that usually cost 100 Gold Moons such as Crude Weapons, Six-Dragons Summoning Stones, and Revival Weapons (loot from high-difficulty battles), plus weapons from missions that can be exchanged for up to three free drops, along with the OMEGA weapons you get from participating in events.

No matter how lucky you get with the roulette, which is quite out of our control, you must maximize the benefits of the free exchanges we can control. Thus, after playing as a Skyfarer for 6 years, I'll help you analyze the best choices.

BOSS Drop Weapons

First up is the Mask Bow, two direct top-ups to max skill and damage. The current Dark team hitters rely heavily on skill damage (like Lich, Black Dragon, Swimsuit Grand Angel, Swimsuit Meg), so whether Main or Magna, it's advised to first get two Mask Bows to notably enhance your Dark team's daily rotation experience.

Then, we have the War God's Staff, an additional weapon for Magna 2.0, with its terminology of Might and Crit that establishes it as wind Magna's main composition, also supporting HP and full crits. As this item hardly drops and you need multiple, it's recommended to exchange if you haven't gathered enough wind-main materials.

Finally, we look at high-difficulty-used Coconut Trees and Fans. These are options for players with God-stones 4 or more times magnified or who have surpassed Lucifer + ally God-stone and want to take on difficult fights with Dark or Water teams but haven't invested in LM's defensive weaponry (Arcane Rapier, Water Dragon Umbrella) yet. Fortitude and Might provide great HP while also lending high defense. I only have one Water Dragon Umbrella, but I still use a Fan when tackling hard battles with my water team.

For the rest, I feel there's not much of a difference; they're relatively easy to farm. Overall, the Six-Dragons weapons offer more significant boosts, thus pick according to the attribute you wish to enhance.

Crude Weapons (100 Gold Moons)

Regarding crude weapons, the crucial notice is that light swords playing Max God Burst is an independent playstyle; others are more for marginal gains, with higher main-hand value over in-pan value.

If you've already got a light sword or don't plan on playing Light God Burst, I strongly suggest exchanging it for a Floral Halo to significantly improve FA experiences. Nonetheless, while Floral Halos can be swapped across attributes, if you plan to switch to Water Black Saber, Earth Remus Myth, or Fire Cicada Twilight, consider not exchanging for these attributes' halos. I've already exchanged an eerie dark halo.

Lastly, there's the Fire Ultimate God Hand, which expert tests show boosts drops by approximately 50,000 victories. While in today's fast Grand Order chase environment, every point helps, yet the increase isn't that substantial. So fire attribute players can decide if they want this 50,000 progression or turn it into a preemptive investment for holy/grand classes.

Revival Weapon Series (Six Attributes High Difficulty)

The choice of exchanging revival weapons largely depends on whether you can clear stages or not.

If you can't beat any stages, blindly exchange for the Water Blade as it has the most potential.

After that, refer to the picture above for decision making, also bearing in mind that the most challenging stages now are Siegfried HL and Cosmos HL. Based on this viewpoint, increasing the priority is an option for the Falling Knife; Cos Knife's improvement isn't as extensive, so it isn't recommended as much as the Falling Knife.

Six-Dragons Summoning Stones

Six-Dragons Summoning Stones are relatively easier to choose off the bat.

Without considering the ratings on the picture, the highest priority is to exchange for the Six-Dragon Stone you don't have. If you've got multiples missing, look at the priorities on the picture.

Once you have them all, consider if any are close to full clearing and prioritize those, as the final break bonus is 40%, much higher than the usual 10% awakenings.

After considering the above, if you're still clueless on how to exchange, refer to what's prioritized on the picture. Additionally: a Light Ancient War is imminent, so the Light Dragon's priority is higher than the Water Dragon.

Regarding the Phoenix event giving OMEGA weapon exchanges, Swords > Staves > Axes = Fists > Spears. Just choose one you haven't crafted yet, considering whichever attribute you're missing as a main-hand weapon. It's noteworthy the third plugin should focus on either Swords or Staves with a godlike and strength plugin, thus allowing a switch from universal God-weapons to OMEGA weapons with higher divine damage percentages.

So these are the things you can exchange for free for the 10th anniversary! Honestly, over these years of playing GBF, I feel it's not that the official giveaways are dwindling, but more that other games' perks are catching up. Nonetheless, here's hoping GBF continues to thrive in the future~
