Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising still has that new game smell as this major update released just this month, but players are beginning to crank out early tier lists as we all excitedly try to decipher the overall order of the game’s roster. Diaphone recently took on this challenge during a stream session, and has produced a full tier list including all 28 of the game’s playable characters.
There’s wiggle room, for the most part, for Diaphone in most of his picks, but he’s already all but certain about the number one character in the game. This top character sits in a tier all her own, thanks to having the best single move and the best block pressure in the game.
If you hadn’t guessed it already, Diaphone ranks Nier as the undisputed GBFVR top dog. Her counter maneuver is the aforementioned best move in the game, according to the content creator, due to it giving her around 60% damage when successful while being surprisingly safe when it isn’t.
Nier sits alone in S tier, but the entire rest of the cast is distributed across just three additional tiers (A+, A, and B). Seven characters reside in A+ tier, a majority 15 wind up in A tier, and the remaining five make up B tier.
You can view Diaphone’s full list simply by clicking on the thumbnail here, but you’ll need to watch the video below to get his detailed explanations on each of the game’s fighters. The video itself is time stamped to you can easily navigate around and hear about whomever you’re most interested in first.
