)Introduction
Welcome to the Granblue Fantasy: Versus Trophy Guide! This is the latest game developed by Arc System Works, based on the Granblue Fantasy “gacha” RPG game made by Cy Games. This game features standard fighting game modes, as well as an RPG mode based around the Granblue Fantasy story and featuring a mission and loot RPG structure. which is where you will spend most of your time for the platinum. Difficulty wise the game is on a relatively similar level to other recent ASW fighting games, but with basically no grind aside from needing to play through RPG mode twice on each difficulty.
Step 1: Training Mode / Versus / Arcade
Starting out if you’re not as used to fighting games it would be advised to work through the Training Mode Mission trophies, as well as play through Arcade/Versus so that you can get acquainted with the game mechanics. There are some specific moves you need to do a certain number of times for trophies that aren’t specifically told to you in RPG mode, so if you do the Missions first to learn what they are you can work on using them while playing through RPG mode.
Step 2: RPG Mode
Next will be the overall longest step, playing through RPG mode. You need to finish the entire story to the end once, then very likely play through all main missions again on hard difficulty basically to the end so that you can get the materials needed to make the weapon Luminiera Blade Omega for trophy “Luminiera’s Blade”.
Step 3: Online
Next you can start working on the online trophies. If you can win one of your two ranking matches during the initially required ones you don’t need to play any more, otherwise you can boost the online win with another player when you go to do the trophy “Communication Skills at Full Power” which requires being in a lobby.
Step 4: Cleanup
Lastly you will only have miscellaneous trophies to clean up, such as all of the character move specific trophies as most of those aren’t able to be done in RPG mode, but can be cleaned up quickly in Versus match with a second controller.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus Trophy Guide
Warning: The trophy “Granblue Know-It-All” was patched to now also require all DLC characters! However, if you play the non-updated disc version you can get it without the DLC characters (disconnect console from internet so it can’t download the patch). If you own the digital version it automatically downloads the patch, so you’d have to buy the DLC characters to earn platinum.

Platinum Sky Complete all trophies |
 |
||
| Earn all other trophies in Granblue Fantasy: Versus to unlock Platinum (DLC characters are also required for the trophy “Granblue Know-It-All”, you can’t earn platinum without them)! | ||||
 |
A New Journey Begins Clear the RPG mode tutorial |
 |
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This is the first trophy you will earn in the RPG mode. As soon as you start it you are put in a short two part fight where the game explains some of the controls for the mode. Once you complete both sections of this fight you will be awarded the trophy. |
||||
 |
Unfamiliar Skies Clear main quest chapter 1 of RPG mode |
|
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete Main Quest Chapter 1: Unfamiliar Skies. This chapter contains 4 main quests in the Albion Citadel location, with the final quest being a boss fight against Katalina. Once you have beaten her and completed this quest you will finish this chapter and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Skybound Protector Clear main quest chapter 2 of RPG mode |
|
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete Main Quest Chapter 2: Skybound Protector. This chapter contains 5 main quests in the Amalthea Island location, with the final quest being a boss fight against Ares. Once you have beat them and completed this quest you will finish this chapter and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Veiled Heavens Clear main quest chapter 3 of RPG mode |
|
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete Main Quest Chapter 3: Veiled Heavens. This chapter contains 17 main quests in the Auguste Isles and Fremel Island locations, with the final quests being a boss fight against Colossus in the Fremel Island location, and a fight against Yggdrasil in the Auguste Isles location. You can do this two locations in whichever order, once you have completed both you will complete this chapter and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Causality Unhinged Clear main quest chapter 4 of RPG mode |
|
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete Main Quest Chapter 4: Causality Unhinged. This chapter contains 8 main quests in the Lumacie Archipelago location, with the final quest being a boss fight against Rose Queen. Once you have beaten her and completed this quest you will finish this chapter and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
When the Dragon’s Voice Resounds Clear main quest chapter 5 of RPG mode |
|
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete Main Quest Chapter 5: The Dragon’s Voice Resounds. This chapter contains 4 main quests in the Grandcypher location, with the final quest being a boss fight against Proto Bahamut. Once you have beat them and completed this quest you will finish this chapter and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Event Horizon Clear the final chapter of the main quest |
 |
||
| Story related, cannot be missed.
This trophy is awarded when you complete the final Main Quest chapter: Event Horizon. This chapter contains 2 main quests in the Pandemonium location, with the final quest being a boss fight against Beelzebub/Avatar. Once you have beat them and completed this quest you will have finished the story and earned this trophy. This final quest is likely the only one during the normal RPG mode playthrough that people could struggle with. The first two phases of the fight are still relatively easy, but the third phase the boss starts doing attacks with projectiles that spawn and move around the screen while they aren’t present, and they do a very large amount of damage compared to other attacks. Because of this I’d recommend taking Panacea II as one of your active skills, then having your partner be a character such as Metera who also runs Panacea. This is so if you get hit too many times during the third phase you can heal if needed. Otherwise you still basically just want to continually hit the boss when possible. When they go into Overdrive and put up the large shield you need to hit them with an SBA to break it and allow you to do decent damage again. |
||||
 |
Hard Mode Unlock main quest chapter ∅ of RPG mode |
|
||
Chapter 0 is an extra difficulty for the RPG mode that you unlock once you have finished the main story after clearing Final Chapter. It lets you play through all of the quests again at a higher difficulty, which is required to get some materials for the Luminiera Blade Omega. You can switch to this difficulty by going to each location then pressing  . This should be unlocked automatically when you finish the story and after the credits roll, if not it might require completing all Free Quests in each location that have you play as all the characters as you unlock them. |
||||
 |
What Am I? Get a Vyrn weapon in RPG mode |
|
||
Vyrn is the name of the red dragon character who hangs out with Gran and talks to you during the RPG mode and other parts of the game. For this trophy you need to get a weapon themed after him, which are given through completion of Bonus Missions. There are 11 Missions under the Standard Missions tab which each give a Vyrn weapon. The requirements aren’t stated for these, but through normal play of the RPG mode you are very likely to get at least one of them without trying. If you go to the Standard Missions tab of the Bonus Missions menu then scroll to the bottom you can see the list of the Vyrn weapon quests and your progress towards their requirements, whichever it is they might be. Once you’ve completed Missions in this menu be sure to pick them up by entering it and pressing  , and you should eventually be awarded a Vyrn weapon.

Luminiera’s Blade Get a Luminiera Blade Omega in RPG mode |
|
||
This trophy requires you to get a specific weapon during RPG mode, named Luminiera Blade Omega. This weapon can’t be dropped from any enemies, but has a very small chance to be gained through Drawing. If you are lucky and obtain it through Drawing you don’t need to play Hard difficulty of RPG mode at all, but this is unlikely and isn’t worth specifically trying to get that way. The normal way to get it is to craft it through the shop. In order to do this, you need to get a material that requires you play through basically all of RPG mode on Hard in order to acquire it. The Luminiera Blade Omega is a weapon for Gran, so to craft it you need Gran Medals, meaning you need to get to the final area in Hard difficulty to start the hard version of the Sky Realm Adventurer quest.
For the most part Hard difficulty isn’t that much worse than before as long as you’ve been actively upgrading weapon setups along the way. You can just use auto-setup based on Attack to get the highest attack power, then upgrade weapon levels and skills on the setups it gives you. Make sure you’ve been drawing when you have tickets so that you have a large stock of weapons to choose and upgrade with. To advance in Hard difficulty you need to complete all of the Main Quests and Boss Battles that were required to progress prior in the normal version. You don’t need to do the various character quests that have you play as specific characters, the only two of those you should worry about are the ones for your main character you’ve been playing as and your main support character, as this fully uncaps their level. If you need to level grind at all, the best way is to just repeat the Normal difficulty final boss, as this will give you basically a level per completion well into the 80s. Most fights shouldn’t cause much trouble. Normal fights against random enemies are basically the same as before, and fights against the normal characters can all be ended fairly quickly and easily as long as you make sure to guard or avoid when they perform their SBA/SSBA. For the large story boss characters make sure you only use SBA when you have full bar, as this for whatever reason does more damage to the large bosses than using SSBA. They are all for the most part about the same as before, the worst will be Proto Bahamut in The Grandcypher area, because it takes a ton of damage so the fight is quite long. Be aware of how it’s orb attacks all work, as it normally will always rotate between a certain orb attack followed by a tail swipe. When it pulls back and does the animation for its SSBA at 25% health make sure you get into the correct spot of the shield on the left or right side of the screen, because it won’t be pointed out to you like in the normal version of the quest and if you are outside of it you will instantly die. Your AI partner will go sit in the spot before the shield is actually up. Depending on how quickly you deal with the last 25% of its health it may launch one more of these attacks right near the end of its health bar, so be aware of that once it starts getting really low health Once you have actually reached the final area, you can ignore the story quests and just go straight for the one that gives the Gran Medals. You are given 5 as a mission reward if you can S rank the mission from clearing it quickly, or you are sometimes given a random number at the end as drops from the enemy. This is the same as the normal version, a fight against an AI Gran. It isn’t much worse than prior single normal character fights, the only thing you really need to watch for is when he uses either his SBA or SSBA, as if you are directly hit by either of these it’s almost guaranteed to instantly down you at around level 80~ with 25,000~ health. Once you have 5 Gran Medals from this quest plus 10 Champion Merits (given as random/S rank rewards from Hard difficulty quests, or from S ranking Free Quests on Normal difficulty) you can go to the shop and forge the weapon, earning the trophy. |

Skyfarer’s Challenge Discover the Tower of Babyl in RPG mode |
|
||
| Tower of Babyl is an option you unlock in RPG mode once you complete Chapter 3. It’s a mode you select from the main RPG mode menu, and is a series of floors you go through in sections for various rewards. You don’t actually need to play it at all for this trophy, just enter the mode and watch the Opening, which shows a cutscene of the party finding the tower. | ||||
 |
Backup Please! Use Request Backup (Online) in RPG mode to join a co-op quest and clear it |
|
||
| You will gain the ability to play online during RPG mode in the middle of Chapter 2. After you have unlocked it and launched RPG Mode again from the main menu you’ll be able to use the online features. For this trophy, you must request help of another player on a specific quest. To do this select the quest you want to do, then scroll to the Request Backup (Online) option or press to go directly to it. From there you can change settings to search public players, or set a password to get a friend in your request. Complete a quest through either of these ways to earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Reporting In! Use search filters in RPG mode to join a co-op quest and clear it |
 |
||
| Once you gain the ability to play Online during RPG Mode, you can then search for backup requests to help other people. You can do this either by choosing Online from the main RPG mode menu, or by pressing on the map or quest select screen. From there you can either choose to search public backup requests for random players, or join one using a password to join a friend. Complete one backup request through either of these methods to earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
A Friend in Arms! Clear an RPG mode quest with a player 2-controlled partner |
|
||
| After you complete the quest Episode 8: Undesired Duel during Chapter 2 you will have Katalina join your party. From that point one when you select a quest you can choose to have her (or any characters who join after) fight along with you during a quest. On the quest preparing screen you can select the partner character and then choose which character they are and how they are being controlled. If you change the Partner Setting option to “Player 2” you can have a second local player control the character with you. For this trophy you just need to complete one quest with this option set to this. You don’t need to have another controller or even have a second user signed in on the PS4, if you change it to this the other character will just stand there in battle and not be controlled, but once you complete the quest you will earn the trophy. | ||||
 |
Slime Vanquisher Defeat 50 slimes |
|
||
| Slimes are a type of enemy you will fight in the RPG mode. During the first main quest in chapter 1 you will be fighting a large number on the ship while the game gives some more tutorial on how to do combos and such. If you replay this quest a second time you will reach 50 slime defeats midway through the second completion of it, or you can just leave it and you should defeat a total of 50 at some point during your playthrough of the mode, as slimes appear during some other missions, though not in as large a number as the Chapter 1 mission. | ||||
 |
That’s Thirty Perform 30 draws |
|
||
| You gain the option to draw for items once you complete Chapter 2 of RPG Mode. Draw is an option selected from the main RPG Mode menu, where you can then use Draw Tickets obtained during quests or from bonus missions to obtain weapons or skins. Y0u can either draw a single item at a time, or draw 10 items at a time if you have enough tickets. The game counts each ticket used as a draw for this, and you get a free 10-Part Draw the first time you enter the Draw menu, so to earn this trophy you only need to 20 Draw Tickets, which you will likely have already once you’ve finished Chapter 2 and unlocked the ability to use the Draw menu. | ||||
 |
One Small Step for a Skyfarer Beat the CPU on Normal or higher difficulty in Versus mode |
|
||
| Very easy to do, Normal difficulty is the default difficulty of Versus mode unless you choose to change it, but the AI on Normal is still very easy to beat. Choose whichever character you feel like playing as, against whichever character you feel like facing. You can also turn your handicap all the way up to 5 and drop the opponent handicap to 1 if you want to make it even easier. Once you have won the match you will be awarded the trophy. | ||||
 |
Congratulations! Clear Arcade mode |
|
||
| Arcade is your standard fighting game mode, where you pick a character, then fight a series of 7 opponents in a row. Arcade in this game is slightly different, in that you pick your starting opponent and their CPU level before the first fight, then after that are offered the choice between 2 or 3 characters with different CPU levels every fight after. For this trophy you just need to clear arcade once with any character. Difficulty or characters you pick don’t matter, you can keep picking the Beginner difficulty character the whole way through. To make this quicker, you can go into Customize > Battle Settings on the main menu, then change “Round Wins (Arcade)” to 1 so that you only need to win one round each match instead of the default 2. | ||||
 |
Memories Are Beautiful Use the key record feature in Free Training mode |
|
||
From the main menu, go to Play > Free Training, then select any characters and stage that you want. Once in-game, to activate Key Record you press  once to transfer control to the other character, then press again to start recording. You then hit once more to stop recording, then hit  once to playback your recording for the other character, which will award you this trophy. |
||||
 |
Now the Real Fight Begins! Complete the tutorial matches |
|
||
| When you select Online from the main menu the first time, you will see an option called “Initial Ranking Matches”. This is what the game actually means with the tutorial matches in the trophy description. Before you are allowed to play proper online matches you first need to complete this set of 7 matches: 5 against AI opponents, and then 2 more against other online players. Once these matches are completed the game assigns you a starting rank for the ranked mode of the online. For this trophy you just need to complete all 7 of these matches, win or lose, no matter how good or bad you do. Once you finish the 7th one you will be awarded this trophy and gain access to all of the Online options. | ||||
 |
Hot Enough for You? Win an online match |
|
||
| This trophy is earned for winning an online match in any online mode: Lobby, Ranked, or Room. If you get a win during your first two online matches during the initial ranking it counts, but if not you can just boost this with a second player in Lobby or Room. Lobby you can just meet up in the same region and room by finding a not busy one then both go to the same arcade machine to match up, or setup up a room match with a password so only the other player can join. | ||||
 |
Always Strive for Perfection Save a replay of your match |
|
||
| After an online match on the results screen where you can either choose rematch or return to lobby, press to save a replay of your match. |
||||
 |
Communication Skills at Full Power Use a sticker, emote, or phrase online |
|
||
| When you are in an online lobby walking around with your avatar you can make them do various things to emote to other players. Press to bring up the chat menu, then select either Stickers, Emotes, or Phrases, and choose any of the options to perform them and earn this trophy. |
||||
 |
Ready to Rumble! Clear all basic missions in Mission Training mode |
|
||
| From the main menu, go to Play > Mission Training This takes you to the training menu, where you can play various mission types to learn the game mechanics and specific character skills. For this trophy you must complete all 25 missions under the “Basic Mission” heading. There are 3 different objectives in each mission that you can complete to earn Renown Pendants, though these aren’t necessary to be completed at all. You need to at least get a C rank on all missions for them to count as cleared, which means you need at least 2 successes out of 5 during an attempt. Most missions are relatively self-explanatory, but if you aren’t sure what to do you can get an extra tip from the game if you complete a mission once then retry it, then press in the pause menu to cycle the info readout.
The only mission that might potentially trouble you could be 25, which requires you to defeat Gran when you both start from half health. He will start out doing some different abilities the Basic Missions don’t tell you about (Skybounds Arts), so you can either check out your command list for how to perform those, or try out the Skill Practice missions first which show some more advanced character techniques. Normally if you keep a bit of pressure on and are able to pull off your SBA you should be able to defeat Gran at least the required 2 times. For this and the other 3 training mode trophies the trophy is awarded once you return to the Training menu, not after the matches. |
||||
 |
There’s More than One Way to Win Clear a character’s skill practices in Mission Training mode |
|
||
| In the same training menu as above, move to the section titled Skill Practice. This section has a set of missions for each character which show you some of their specific moves. Some characters have more missions in their section than others, but they’re all simple abilities so you can choose whichever you wish to complete. Once you have completed all practices for an individual character you will be awarded the trophy. | ||||
 |
Dragon Knight’s Might! Clear 10 combo practices in Mission Training mode |
|
||
| Still in the same training menu, move to the middle section titled Combo Practice. This section includes 5 sets of practices for each character showing different combos they can perform. This trophy only requires you to finish any 10 practices, so if you want you could do the first 1 from any 10 of the available characters. The first 2 are normally relatively easy, with the third on some characters also being fairly simple, so you can do as many as you feel comfortable with on each character then move to the next until you’ve completed at least 10. | ||||
 |
See? I Kept Up Just Fine! Clear a character’s countermeasures in Mission Training mode |
|
||
| The final training menu trophy, for this move to the 4th section titled Match-Ups. These mission are meant for you to practice a counter to a specific move done by each character. 10 of the characters have 2 missions, then Lowain has 3, so you can just do the 2 missions from any of the other characters. Gran’s are relatively easy, as they are just for blocking one of his attacks, then immediately countering after the block. They follow the same rule as the Basic Missions where you need to succeed at least 2 out of 5 times to get a C rank and count the mission as completed. | ||||
 |
Storyteller Watch an RPG mode cutscene in Gallery mode |
|
||
| After you have played a bit of the RPG mode, you can go to Journal > Gallery from the main menu. From there, change to the 3rd tab labeled “Story” and select any of the boxes available to you that show episode titles. This will replay you the selected RPG mode cutscene and award the trophy. | ||||

Granblue Know-It-All Unlock all entries in the glossary’s Characters and Terms section |
|
||
| Warning: This trophy was patched to now also require all DLC characters! However, if you play the non-updated disc version you can get it without the DLC characters (disconnect console from internet so it can’t download the patch). If you own the digital version it automatically downloads the patch, so you’d have to buy the DLC characters to earn platinum.
The Glossary is viewed from the main menu by selecting Journal > Glossary. This section includes info about characters and various lore items from the Granblue Fantasy universe. For this trophy you need to unlock every entry in the first two sections, Characters and Terms. Some of this info is there from the start, but for the rest you just need to finish all chapters of RPG mode, and you will be given the rest along the way. Once you have finished RPG mode go into the Glossary menu and you should be awarded the trophy automatically. |
||||
 |

This Is the Result of My Training! Activate skills 100 times using technical commands |
|
||
Skills are the various unique character moves that are mapped to  and directions, and have the 4 cooldown bars at the top of the screen. Whenever the game is telling you about these it always tells you to use the versions, but for this trophy you actually want to do them using the full commands which can be viewed in the Command List when you pause the game during a match. For most characters they are variations of traditional fighting games inputs such as quarter-circle-forward or right-down-right., followed by the appropriate face button. Inputting the commands this way is in theory better, as the more powerful versions of each move have a slightly shorter cooldown than if you use the version. For this trophy you just need to do commands this way a total of 100 times across every mode. You can work on using them this way during RPG mode where you’ll likely get them very quickly, or spam them out in a versus match against a second player.

What a Blast! Activate skybound art 100 times |
|
||
| Skybound Arts are moves that are able to be activated by each character when they have 100% SBA gauge, which is gained from attacking your opponent, moving towards them, or by taking damage. When this is full, you can activate it either using your character’s technical command, or by using the short version of quarter-circle-forward + . This total counts during RPG mode, so you should make sure to be using them when you can during those fights. During RPG mode you will gain a support skill named “Full Arsenal”, which when used will immediately give you full SBA gauge, so you can use this to help you work on this trophy. |
||||
 |
Who’s Ready for a Show? Activate super skybound art 50 times |
|
||
Super Skybound Arts are moves you can activate with each character when they have 100% SBA gauge AND when they are at 30% or lower health (if you don’t have full SBA gauge your health bar will glow red). When you are able to do this both the SBA gauge and your health bar will glow blue. You can then activate SSBA using either the character’s technical command, or by doing quarter-circle-forward + +  . This activates a highly damaging move which will have a longer animation and does high damage if both the initial and second animation move hit. Like the trophy for Skybound Arts you can use “Full Arsenal” in RPG mode to instantly gain full SBA gauge to help perform these. Midway through the story you also gain the ability to activate SSBA regardless of your health level, meaning you can do them even at full health. You don’t need to specifically worry about this during RPG mode though, as you need to do all of the character trophies for 10 SSBA activations each outside of RPG mode. |
||||
 |
All Together Now! Finish off an opponent with a super skybound art 10 times in a match |
|
||
| For this trophy you need to use an SSBA move to reduce your opponents health to 0 in the winning round of a match a total of 10 times. This doesn’t count during RPG mode, it must be done outside of it in Arcade, Versus, or Online matches. It also has the requirements where the entire animation must finish for it to count, and it must be the round that wins you the entire match (for example 2nd win in a 3 round match). If you reduce your opponent’s health to 0 with the initial attack and it stops before doing the full animation then it doesn’t count, so while working on this make sure you perform it when the opponent has about 30 – 40% health left to make sure the entire animation is completed while defeating them. If you look at the health bar at the top of the screen on top of each there is a smaller line that touches the top, if the opponent health is anywhere within the section this line touches the SSBA will take them to 0 health without beating them before the initial animation finishes. | ||||
 |
Too Easy! Dodge attacks or cross over an opponent 100 times |
|
||
Dodges and cross overs are the two moves you do by pressing  while pushing either towards or away from your opponent. Pushing away while have you stand in place but move backwards into the environment to dodge an attack, or towards an opponent to move forward, and if you’re close enough move past them. If you don’t get this during normal play you can very easily farm this out in Versus mode with a second player. Just get next to the other player, then continually press and move towards them to repeatedly do a cross over. If you’re close enough and they’re not moving you can rapidly move back and forth around them, and the trophy is pop once you reach 100 total uses successfully crossing over (or dodging). |
||||
 |
You’re Wide Open Hit an opponent with overhead attacks 100 times |
|
||
Overhead attacks are an attack performed with a character by hitting +  or just  . These attacks will hit an opponent from above if they are in a crouching guard. For this trophy you just need to hit an opponent with an overhead attack a total of 100 times, doesn’t matter if they are actually in a low guard or not. |
||||
 |
No Running Now, Sweety! Throw an opponent 100 times |
|
||
Throws are executed by either pressing + , + , or just  . You normally need to be right next to an enemy to engage a throw, and normal playable characters are able to stop you from performing a throw when you attempt it. For this trophy you just need to throw any enemy a total of 100 times. This includes any of the throwable RPG mode enemies, not just the normal characters. You can work on this during that mode, or if you need to grind it out at the end of your platinum you can start a versus match with a second controller, set your handicap to lowest and the second player to maximum, and continually throw the other player until you have reached 100 total and earned the trophy. |
||||
 |
Thy Name Is Bahamut! Summon Proto Bahamut 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Summoning Proto Bahamut is what occurs during Gran’s SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as him and use it a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. For this to count you need to have the entire animation for the SSBA occur, if you defeat the opponent with the initial attack and it stops before the full animation it doesn’t count. You can activate SSBA when you have full SBA bar and are below 30% health (both will glow blue), then input either 2x quarter-circle-forward + , or quarter-circle-forward + + . |
||||
 |
Strength Comes from Our Bonds! Summon Ares 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Summoning Ares is what occurs during Katalina’s SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as her and use it a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. For this to count you need to have the entire animation for the SSBA occur, if you defeat the opponent with the initial attack and it stops before the full animation it doesn’t count. You can activate SSBA when you have full SBA bar and are below 30% health (both will glow blue), then input either 2x quarter-circle-forward + , or quarter-circle-forward + + . |
||||
 |
That Settles That! Use the skill With Sweetest Skills! on an opponent 10 times in a match |
|

With Sweetest Skills! is a skill used by Charlotta after performing the skill Noble Strategy. Noble Strategy is performed by pressing  + / / , then pressing again in the air to execute the move With Sweetest Skills!. This move is a command grab, so will grab the opponent whether in the air or standing and hit them away. For this trophy you need to successfully use this move 10 times. If doing this against a second controller it is best to use the + version of Noble Strategy, as this makes the jump happen in a lower arc so you can grab stationary standing foes. To be the correct distance away you should be just outside of the range where you can hit the opponent with Charlotta’s standing attack. It will take a bit of messing around to figure out the correct distance, but once you do this is relatively quick to earn since it’s just a normal move and not an SSBA like other characters. |

Feel the Wrath of My Twin Blades! Freeze an opponent in ice 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Freezing an opponent is what occurs during Lancelot’s SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as him and use it a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. For this to count you need to have the entire animation for the SSBA occur, if you defeat the opponent with the initial attack and it stops before the full animation it doesn’t count. You can activate SSBA when you have full SBA bar and are below 30% health (both will glow blue), then input either 2x quarter-circle-forward + , or quarter-circle-forward + + . |

Petrified by Fear Petrify an opponent 10 times in a match |
|
||
| This trophy is the easiest character specific trophy, you just need to be playing as Percival and then use his attack X-Seele 10 times total to grab an opponent. This move doesn’t deal any damage, so you can just continually dash towards your opponent then |

It’s Looove! Finish off an opponent with a 3-count pinfall 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Finishing an opponent with a 3-count pinfall is what occurs during Ladiva’s SSBA, but only when you use the move to reduce your opponent’s health to 0. If you do it and it doesn’t reduce their health to 0 they are implied to have broken out of the pin and the timer stops before reaching 3, so it doesn’t count. Also even though the trophy says “finish” it doesn’t need to be in the winning round of a match, it can be done in any round, just as long as it reduces their health to 0. You can activate SSBA when you have full SBA bar and are below 30% health (both will glow blue), then input either 2x quarter-circle-forward + , or quarter-circle-forward + + . |

Just How You Like It, Right? Step on an opponent 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Stepping on an opponent is what occurs during Metera’s SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as her and use it a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. For this to count you need to have the entire animation for the SSBA occur, if you defeat the opponent with the initial attack and it stops before the full animation it doesn’t count. You can activate SSBA when you have full SBA bar and are below 30% health (both will glow blue), then input either 2x quarter-circle-forward + , or quarter-circle-forward + + . |

Yggy, Yggy Summon Yggdrasil 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Summoning Yggdrasil is what occurs during Lowain’s SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as him and use it a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. Lowain’s SSBA is unique in that when Yggdrasil is summoned she doesn’t actually attack the enemy immediately, you control her in the place of Lowain for the duration of the bar that appears under your SBA bar. Because of this you can just get yourself to below 30% health, activate your SSBA to summon Yggdrasil, then just let the bar run out without attacking. You can just continually sprint towards your opponent to recharge SBA bar, then summon her again, and repeat until the match ends. | ||||

Sic ‘Em, Momo! Attack with Momo 10 times in a match |
|
||
| Attacking with Momo is what occurs during either Ferry’s SBA or SSBA, so for this trophy you need to be playing as her and use either of them a total of 10 times outside of RPG mode in regular matches. These both count because her SBA is attacking specifically with Momo, while her SSBA is attacking with all of her summon creatures, so both count as attacking with Momo. | ||||

Show Me Your Strength! Unleash the Spear of Arvess 10 times in a match |

Veteran of the Marketplace Spend a total of 100,000 rupies |
|
||
| Rupies are the currency that you use during the RPG mode to buy and sell items at the shop, or to upgrade the level of weapons. You will deal with numbers far in excess of 100,000 while working through the mode, so you don’t need to worry about this trophy. Keep upgrading weapons as you go and you should earn it before finishing your normal playthrough. | ||||

You can get the Luminiera’s Blade from Drawing. Got mine while I’m still in Ch. 3 Normal in RPG Mode.
Gage says
Thanks for confirming, I added a note in there about that now.
Az says
Might need to reconfirm, the one that you got from Drawing is probably Luminiera’s Blade SR version, the SSR version needs to be forged.
I’ve tried save-scumming for around 12h and didn’t got any. I’ve also confirmed with others on gamefaqs, and seems like you can’t get forged SSR weapon from Ticket Draw.
Gage says
I found people on PSNP who had got it during the middle of first RPG mode playthrough, so not possible to get the Gran coins then and not something I think people would stop and go out of their way to cheat then instead of at the end. I think the chance is there, it’s just so small that you get one of the Omega weapons, let alone the specific one for the trophy, it’s not worth actually trying to get that way.

Shahin Miah says
Just wondering about the blade that you need to get from Drawing. Is it possible to make a save before this or even before the chapter and load up that save to try and acquire the blade? Or is it that if you don’t get it through Drawing, then you’ll never get it from drawing despite the save?
Gage says
I theory you could do this yes. I assume the items it gives from the draw are randomized when you perform it, not beforehand. I don’t know how low the drop rate is though, and if you wanted to do a ton at once you’d have to purposefully not use the draw tickets, which then potentially makes it harder for you to progress normally because you don’t have weapons to level/use.

Hello,
I have all the trophies now except the Hard mode trophy.
I finished all the quests in the rpg mode, even the hard ones. But I didn’t get the trophy.
The only one I haven’t done is Narmaya’s free quest since I didn’t bought the DLC.
I suspect I miss this trophy because I skipped the credits (I pressed start) when I beat the RPG mode in normal difficulty.
Anyone has the same problem?
BluesBomber says
I had the same issue. Still don’t have the trophy and I‘ve beaten every quest (even the free ones) as well as Narmaya. Nothing has popped. I skipped the credits as well. Maybe if we beat it again? And don’t skip
Sonic-san says
I beat the game again on PC and this time since I didn’t skipped the credits after Episode 40, well I did get the achievement.
I beat the quest again (episode 40) annnd it doesn’t work
Maybe it would be great to mark it as a missable trophy and clearly avoid skipping the credits.
I hope they fix this in a patch.
Gage says
I skipped the credits, that’s not what the reason is for not getting it.
BigBake says
Glad to know that I wasn’t the only person who had this problem. So do we have to wait for a patch or are we just out of luck? I thought about deleting my saved data and beating it again but that’s too much work lol.
Alucard says
Can you do the SSBA 10x per match trophys within VS mode, 1Round settings?
h4m says
If someone wants to sort of skip a few chapters in Hard Mode, I found out that you can join Backup Requests of players in a higher chapter than you. You can’t skip to the Gran mission because it’s a single-player mission. However, it’s in Chapter 5, and you can unlock Chapter 5 by beating Chapter 4.
This works by joining someone who is requesting help for a Chapter 4 HARD mission. Complete the mission (or don’t) and when the host eventually disbands the room, it throws you back to the Chapter 4 mission select… on HARD difficulty. From here, finish all the missions in Chapter 4 (with backup help or not) and you’ll open Chapter 5. NOTE: don’t back out to the RPG menu. If you leave the overworld screen, you’ll lose access to the Chapter 4 Hard missions.
It’s not a huuuge time save, but if you happen to get slotted into a chapter 4 backup request, you can do this. I got this and just did backup requests and bam. Chapter 5. (If you’re looking to grind out some dark weapons for the Gran Battle, farm Zeta in Chapter 4 Hard to forge the SSR spear in the shop)

Hi i completed the rpg mode but i didn’t get the Know it all glossary trophy, someone in the same case?
isaac says
Having the same issue here. it really sucks! I have absolutely no idea what could be causing it
icecattu says
Hey all, I thought I would leave my findings here in this thread for future internetfarers who have this issue. After a full day of torment and deliberation, I was able to figure out why the “Granblue Know-It-All” trophy / achievement wasn’t popping for me despite clearing the game on both Normal and Hard. Unfortunately, this achievement completion is locked behind the DLC Character Anre. His Free Quest and Boss Battle in Albion grant the final two glossary entries for The Eternals and Seofon.
Depending on when you’re reading this, they may continue to add Glossary entries for new characters since they tie them into the RPG Mode Story. I got this achievement when Anre was the most recent DLC character, so if this (for whatever reason) still doesn’t unlock for you, know that the answer doesn’t lie in any characters released prior to Anre.
