Wondering how to unlock characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink? Stick around. We’ll cover the steps you need to add new characters to your party as you move through the game.
On your Granblue Fantasy: Relink playthrough, you can unlock a total of 19 characters to cycle in and out of your party. Each comes equipped with unique skills and stats, as well as character-specific Ascension Weapons and more. Needless to say, you’ll want to unlock as many party members as you can to ensure you’re working with the beat team possible. So, how do you unlock new characters in Relink? Fortunately, there are a couple of methods you can use as you move through the story. Here’s what to do.
How to Unlock Every Character in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
There are two routes you can take to unlock new characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Some can only be obtained through one method, while others are exclusive to the next. This includes the following:
- Progressing through the story
- Exchanging Character Cards at Sierokarte’s Knickknack Shack
Unlocking Story Characters
By simply progressing through the main events of the game organically, you can unlock most of the story characters in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. In fact, this only excludes Id, who you can access in the post-game once the credits roll. That aside, you’ll unlock each of the following characters after you reach Chapter One:
- Gran, Djeeta
- Katalina
- Rackam
- Io
- Rosetta
- Eugen
Getting Knickknack Shack Characters
Apart from making progress in the main story, you can also exchange Character Cards at Sierokarte’s Knickknack Shack to get new characters on your playthrough. Technically referred to as Crewmate Cards, this in-game currency of sorts is obtained by completing story events and specific quests. With this in mind, the two methods to get new party members are very much intertwined. Here’s a look at the characters you can get at the shop:
- Charlotta
- Ghandagoza
- Ferry
- Narmaya
- Vane
- Lancelot
- Percival
- Siegfried
- Cagliostro
- Yodarha
- Zeta
- Vaseraga
- Includes artbook, a soundtrack CD, a set of postcards, and in-game DLC including Starter Item Pack, Character Color Packs 1-3, and the weapon ‘False Sword of the Apocalypse’
- 3D artwork with detailed character models and expressive facial animations that bring the rich history of the Sky Realm to life like never before
- Choose from diverse characters, being sure to consider each character’s unique talent trees, weapons, sigils, and Skybound Arts
- Assist modes ensure there’s an accessible play style for gamers of all skill levels
- Enjoy a complete single-player experience or jump online with up to three friends for co-op multiplayer action to tackle more than 100 side quests
