In Granblue Fantasy: Relink, each weapon has a type, shown by its title, and each type gives a special trait bonus to your character:

  • Defender gives an HP boost.
  • Executioner increases Weak Point Damage.
  • Stinger boosts Critical Hit Rate.
  • Stunner enhances Stun Power.
  • Ascension raises Attack (ATK).
  • Terminus has Catastrophe and Regen traits.
Tip:

Granblue Fantasy: Relink has 114 weapons in total: that equals out to six weapons for every character.

All weapons except Defender and Terminus are craftable in the Blacksmith, and once you unlock the ability to craft them, you do so for every character. Here’s how to get every weapon type in Granblue Fantasy: Relink:

Defender Weapons

You automatically have Defender weapons when you unlock new characters, so no extra steps are needed.

Stunner Weapons

You can start crafting Stunner weapons at the Blacksmith in Chapter 6. Visit the Blacksmith in Seedhollow and use Champion Merits and Boss treasures to make them.

Executioner and Stinger Weapons

These become craftable at the Blacksmith at the start of Chapter Seven. You’ll need Boss Treasures, Elemental Orbs, and Champion Merits to craft them. The exact Orbs and Treasures depend on the weapon.

Ascension Weapons

You can craft Ascension Weapons at the Blacksmith after you finish the main story and unlock Extreme difficulty quests. They require Champion Merits, Elemental Orbs, Boss Treasures, and Elemental Shards.

Terminus Weapons

You can’t craft Terminus Weapons. They might drop from the most challenging quest, The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage, in Proud difficulty. However, it’s not a guaranteed drop, and you get only one random Terminus Weapon per mission. So, you might have to do the quest many times (at least 19) to get all the Terminus Weapons.

Tip:

Terminus Weapons are only available in the post-game after you unlock the harder difficulties.

In terms of usefulness and stats, here’s how the weapon types rank in Granblue Fantasy: Relink:

  • Tier S: Terminus
  • Tier A: Ascension, Stinger
  • Tier B: Stunner, Executioner
  • Tier C: Defender

Terminus Weapons stand out with unique traits, making them the best in the game. Ascension and Stinger weapons are powerful, too. Still, Ascension weapons get even better in the late game because you can Awaken them at Siero on level 150 for extra power, while other weapons max out at level 150.

Stunner and Executioner are good upgrades from Defender during the Story Mode, but switching to Ascension or Stinger is best when you can, as they’re stronger. Defender is your primary weapon, but you’ll want to upgrade from it as you progress.

There you have it. You know everything you need about all of Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s weapons and how to unlock them. Good luck!
