A decade after its launch, Granblue Fantasy currently boasts over 300 characters to choose from. This can result in players getting confused about which characters to pick for scoring the most points. Many players have especially developed a keen interest in the dark characters offered in the game.
Dark is an element in Granblue Fantasy, just like water, earth, fire, light, and more. So, here is our GBF dark tier list to help you pick the best dark characters for your team.
All Tier Lists For Granblue Fantasy
To develop the right tier list for the dark characters in GBF, we need to first take a look at all the tier lists available in the game. These tiers help segregate the characters, with the S – Tier being the best and the D – Tier being the worst. Here is a list of the five-tier list types that are used to classify these characters:
- S-Tier: This class houses the most powerful characters in Granblue Fantasy that are significantly hard to get your hands on due to their rarity and higher price. However, if you manage to get them, they prove to be game changing for your team.
- A-Tier: Coming in right below the S Tier class of characters in terms of power, these A Tier characters also have the ability to let you taste those sweet wins.
- B-Tier: In cases where you cannot get your hands on the upper tier class of characters, the characters from this tier can prove quite reliable as well in almost every battle.
- C-Tier: Offering the most average level stats in the game, these are playable characters with whom you can work your way through certain levels.
- D-Tier: Coming in as the lowest level class of characters, these are only worth using in the initial stages and will disappoint if you wish to take them ahead in the higher levels of the game.
With the explanation of the five tier types out of the way, let us take a look at the dark characters that fall under each of these Granblue Fantasy tier lists.
NOTE: The sequence in which the characters under each tier have been listed does not depict any particular order to be followed while choosing the best characters for your teams. Players only need to take into consideration the respective tier lists to differentiate between the best to the lowest.

- Serves as an Attacker/Debuffer
- Miserable Mist is stacked with her 10% DEF Down
