Best Cagliostro Build

Cagliostro, obtainable from Sierokarte’s Knickknack Shack via a Character Card, is an Earth element character wielding a Tome as her weapon.

Recognized as one of Granblue Fantasy: Relink most adaptable units, Cagliostro offers extensive utility to the team through debuffs and buffs. Additionally, she excels in dealing substantial damage through her charged attack and skills.

Best Skills for Cagliostro Build

When considering Cagliostro’s skills, we find that those enhancing her ability to charge up her charged attack swiftly are the most effective.

That’s why we’ve singled out three skills specifically designed for this purpose, along with a team-wide support skill to enhance overall utility. Here’s the comprehensive breakdown.

Skill	Description
Pain Train	This skill allows Caligostro to charge into foes while riding Ouroboros.
Alexandria	With Alexandria, Caligostro summons Ouroboros to launch foes in her path into the air. Additionally, the Collapse charges faster immediately following this attack.
Mimic Doll	After placing an explosive replica of herself where she previously stood, Caligostro dodges backward. Moreover, the Collapse charges faster after executing this move.
Phantasmagoria	This skill grants Phantasmagoria to the entire party, boosting ATK, DEF, and critical hit rate.

Best Weapon for Cagliostro Build

We believe Cagliostro benefits from a diverse selection of weapons that complement her various playstyles. Specifically for this build, we recommend the Weak Point DMG Executioner Weapon, Arshivelle as the optimal choice.

Best Weapon	Attribute
Arshivelle	Arshivelle, at level 40, boasts 290 HP, 70 ATK, with a Crit Hit Rate of 0% and no Stun Power. However, if you’ve been lucky enough to acquire her Terminus Weapon, it’s recommended to prioritize that option instead!

Best Sigils for Cagliostro Build

Like all characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink emphasizing damage, the crucial Sigil to prioritize is Damage Cap.

In this build, we’ll prioritize Cagliostro’s two signature Sigils. Additionally, if feasible, aim to maximize the level of Damage Cap to unleash the highest potential damage output.

Skill	Description
Founder’s Strategy	This skill causes DEF whenever Cagliostro successfully executes a fully charged Collapse on foes.
Founder’s Truth	Cagliostro’s skill cooldowns are shortened whenever she lands a combo finisher.
Damage Cap	Raises the damage limit of attacks.
Concentrated Fire	Enhances the power of ranged attacks.
Glass Cannon	Increases attack power and damage cap, but each hit taken induces Dizzy.
Critical Hit Rate	Boost your critical hit rate.

Cagliostro stands out as one of the top-tier characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink, showcasing exceptional versatility in both debuffing adversaries and inflicting significant damage. Her presence significantly enhances team performance in all scenarios, particularly in Co-op gameplay.

As a ranged character, Cagliostro offers a safer gameplay experience compared to many melee counterparts, making her an ideal choice for players who prefer ranged tactics while maintaining the ability to contribute damage and support to their allies.

How to Play This Build of Cagliostro

Other DPS Build

Weapon

• Transmigration Tome

For this build, we’ve opted for the straightforward Transmigration Tome. This weapon offers a flat Attack bonus, allowing for additional stat enhancements via Wrightstones. While we typically advocate for critical hit damage, feel free to prioritize the stat that best suits your needs. While some players also consider the Sacred Codex, we find that it trades significant damage potential for other stats, which may not be as effective in certain quests.

Skills and Sigils

Now, let’s delve into the core of this Cagliostro build in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. While her skill set isn’t the most extensive, she emphasizes quality over quantity. Before discussing rotation, here are the essential skills:

1. Pain Train
2. Alexandria
3. Mimic Doll
4. Phantasmagoria

Regardless of the fight or quest type, always initiate with Phantasmagoria. This skill provides attack and critical hit bonuses to you and your party. Following that, swiftly engage your enemy with Pain Train. Throughout, aim to incorporate as many combos as possible. Mastering the charge for your Collapse ability is crucial, as this charged attack deals substantial damage. When the enemy enters a Break state, utilize Alexandria and trigger Collapse for faster charging. Mimic Doll serves to evade lethal attacks or strike an enemy immediately after they enter Overdrive.

Regarding Sigils, several are recommended to enhance her DPS and amplify her charged attack. Here’s the list:

1. Attack Power
2. Critical Hit Rate
3. Quick Charge
4. Combo Booster
5. Charged Attack
6. Cascade

Cagliostro Fate Episodes and Rewards

Fate Episodes are a unique feature in the game, providing players with a glimpse into each Ally’s perspective on the unfolding events throughout the story. These fully-voiced diary entries offer an insight into the character’s thoughts and feelings as the narrative unfolds. As players advance through the story, level up their characters, and successfully complete Fate Episodes, more of these insightful episodes become available.

Completion of Fate Episodes not only grants players valuable stat bonuses but also unlocks slots for equipping Sigils, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
