In Granblue Fantasy: Relink, excelling in Maniac and Proud quests necessitates elevating your damage cap, emphasizing not only raw power but also strategic optimization. Ascension or Terminus weapons, along with potent Sigils, play pivotal roles in augmenting your maximum damage output.
How Damage Cap Sigils and traits function in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Granblue Fantasy: Relink imposes a limit, known as a damage cap, on the maximum damage attainable with each attack and Skill. Beyond a certain threshold, merely enhancing Attack traits ceases to elevate your damage output. Herein lies the significance of the Damage Cap trait, which extends this limit by granting up to a 250 percent bonus.
The Damage Cap Sigil assumes a critical role in enhancing this trait, rendering it a sought-after item for farming. Most players encounter the damage cap constraint in later Extreme and early Maniac quests, warranting attention at those stages of progression.
How to acquire multiple Damage Cap Sigils in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Procuring Damage Cap Sigils via the Transmute Sigils feature at Siero’s represents the most efficient farming method. Begin by exchanging quest Treasures for Knickknack Vouchers, then utilize these vouchers to transmute random Sigils until acquiring the coveted Damage Cap variant.
Although outcomes are not guaranteed, persistence may yield one or two Damage Cap IV, IV+, or V Sigils upon transmuting with the maximum allotment of 999 vouchers. For amassing a substantial number of Vouchers, focus on farming the “Assault Formation!” quest on Extreme difficulty, akin to Curios farming. Subsequently, exchange the High-Grade Scraps and Machine Units obtained from this quest at Siero’s to accumulate a significant quantity of Vouchers.
In Granblue Fantasy: Relink, obtaining the Damage Cap Sigil is contingent upon random transmutation via Sigils and utilizing Transmarvel at Siero’s Knickknack Shop, or through Curios obtained from Zathba’s in Seedhollow. Consequently, farming Knickknack Vouchers and Curios becomes imperative for acquiring the Damage Cap Sigil.
While Curios may yield the Damage Cap Sigil, prioritizing transmutation proves more efficient due to the expeditious accumulation of Treasures for voucher exchange. The extensive loot pool associated with Curios, including Rupies and Treasures, dilutes the likelihood of acquiring the desired Damage Cap sigil. Conversely, transmutation guarantees the acquisition of Sigils exclusively, offering a more targeted and effective approach.
Both methods become accessible in the endgame, post-completion of the Main Story. As progression unlocks higher difficulty quests, extending up to Proud level, access to advanced levels of Transmuting Sigils, culminating in Transmarvel, becomes available. Opting for the highest available Transmuting level maximizes the resultant Damage Cap Sigil level, hence always prioritize the most expensive option.
