You beat Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s story. Now, you’re grinding quests for Crewmate Cards, eyeing heroes in Siero’s shop. You’ve got a strong damage dealer and tank, but what about your support? It’s crucial that you find the best healer for your team, after all, you need to stay alive. What you don’t realize is the top healer has been by your side all along.
The best support in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
The best support in Granblue Fantasy: Relink is actually very easy to find from the beginning of the game. The protagonists Gran and Djeeta are the top healers and supporters you can choose. The reason why you have only one of that is that they’re the same character, just different versions. Pick male, you get Gran. Choose female, you get Djeeta. No need to worry, they work the same way.
It might seem odd how the character you start with is the best support, not the best attacker or defender, but it’s true. As you learn more about Gran and Djeeta, you’ll find great healing and support skills, including:
- Panacea – Applies a quick heal.
- Clarity – Heals slowly over time with HP Regeneration.
- Adept Arts – Support skill that increases healing according to your Art Level.
The other bonus of Gran and Djeeta is that they have a bunch of buff and debuff skills. Some of the skills that will be of great use to you are:
- Dispell – Removes buffs from enemies.
- Stall – Applies Slow to your foes.
- Veil – Grants Debuff Immunity to your party.
- Phalanx – Applies a 50% DMG Cut to your party.
In short, these characters can heal you while making your enemy deal less damage and your party take less damage. That also contributes to them being the top healers in Granblue Fantasy: Relink.
Other great support characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
If you’re looking for other great support characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, we have a few options to suggest.
The only issue with focusing on Gran and Djeeta is that you need to build them up a lot. You’ll use many Mastery Points on their Defensive tree to make them good supports. So, if you finish the story and haven’t made the protagonists into supports, you might consider using some of the other good healer and support characters. These include:
- Cagliostro, whom you can unlock using a Crewmate Card. She comes with the great Rhizomata skill that quickly revives allies in critical condition. While she is hardly a replacement for Gran and Djeeta, as they get to do the same by learning a skill called Revive in the later part of their Defensive Masteries tree, Cagliostro can be used as a great additional support. Just make sure that you control at least one of the characters, because leaving it to AI may lead to plenty of wasted revive spells.
- Katalina, as another starter character that can be of great use to you, especially in the early stages of the game where her heal can be your savior more often than you’d think. Aside from being a decent healer, she can have a pretty strong DPS when boosted with Ares, which makes her a great support.
The game also includes characters like Ferry and Io that have healing abilities, but they are no match to the ones we’ve covered thus far, as they are more focused on being damage dealers than healers.
If you’re looking for a good DPS to match with Gran and Djeeta, I highly recommend experimenting with Narmaya’s critical damage build. Match that with Brawler Siegfried and you have a good party for most combats.
