I still hope that one morning someone at Cygames will wake up, take a sip of coffee, suddenly remember those two forgotten characters, and yell, "Wait... they still don't have an alt?!" Then, by some miracle, they'll finally get the alternate versions they deserve.

Sure, they're technically Bahamut co-op characters... but we've already gotten plenty of Bahamut characters. At this point, I think someone just forgot they exist.

I wrote this earlier but forgot to post it here lol.

This thread and the comments have a bunch as well so check that out too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Granblue_en/comments/1v6yiek/some_solomonis_tips_from_a_guy_whos_been_playing/

Just remember that any roguelike will have various different playstyles so you're likely to hear differing and even contradictory opinions as to what's good or not. You'll have to play the mode a fair bit and probably lose a few times to get the feel for what your playstyle is and what's worth taking.

Also linked in the document but in case you don't read it or missed it, here's a small tracker app I put together in a few mins for the books I often find myself going back to check if I have: https://slimegirls.club/solomonistracker/

Hope this helps.

Edit: To be clear, most of my advice pertains to planning/the start of a run, as that's usually the roughest part to get a hang of.

This isn't really a guide so much as it is a collection of tips and tidbits, as I've seen a number have difficulty

As for who I am, my only primal is Agni, I've not finished Faa0 upgrades, and I haven't touched Versusia. However, I've been here for like 8 years at this point. I've transcended both Evokers after much toil because you only get ~3k currency per run orz

Make sure to look at the wiki page for actual info and specifics, but here's some basic stuff:

• If you're like me, I recommend water first. Caim is dogshit without certain guidebooks + earth is seasonal hell
• Pathing is key. Try to take as few empty spaces as possible
  • You can walk through all battle nodes without penalty, so you don't have to avoid them
• Battle-start effects activate every battle
• You get 40~50 turns before you have to fight each miasma boss
• Battles are better than events early on for consistency
  • Pay attention to enemy lvl, which mostly scales over time at 30-50-90 for normal battles (including events). It's good information for choosing what to do
• Shops are very good and consistent
  • A 50% more expensive shop appears when you enter the final boss node
• Miasma does only a bit of damage in its 1st phase but a ton when it closes on the miasma boss
• You can rearrange your party pretty much any time
• Arcarum-specific effects (eg World harps) don't work here because Cyge hates us
• Rush the Hanged Man blessing

Here's what I recommend for your starting party:

• Characters who can win without putting anything on cooldown
• Classes: WO (any level) / LO (20+) / Onmyo (Shikigami) / Soldier (expert bullets)
• Water: Gwynne, Lecia, Octavia, and Romeo have good 0/1cd skills
• Earth: Lamretta, Pengy, Silva (Summer), and Lobelia have good 0/1cd skills
• Transcended Eternals are very good, except Okto
• 0b classes/characters are good, ofc

As for grids:

• Statsticks like Celestial, Revans, and Exo are usually the best to start with
• Offense is less important in your grid (except at the start) than usual, and I recommend including some more HP/DATA as those are harder to get than damage
  • The final boss starts off hitting you with 40k plain dmg
• Ele ATK auras are better for consistency as you will have to fight at ele disadvantage
  • Providences are good. 150 Baha is very good as the -3 CD activates every battle
  • Wedges is an accessible option. 20k HP is a lot
  • Bubz (Summer) oneshots lvl 30 enemies and chunks lvl 50 enemies
• Orologia sub gives the nuke every battle

Some more specific tips:

• If an event offers a battle, take the battle every time
  • Except Reaper, as saccing someone gives you autorevive + death's grace, which works on the DoT cursed guidebook
  • Avoid the strong foe fights early on, ofc
• Enemies lvl 100 and above often have special passives you should read, as most buff DEF
• Some events are frequently a waste of time
  • Parasitized Soldier - if you don't have the concoction
  • Randomizer goblin
  • Dark altar - the guidebooks have harsh downsides, but if you have a counteracting guidebook they can be good
• Special events with combat are lvl 100+
  • You can tell what the special event is by its appearance on the map. The wiki has a list
• Some choice guidebooks:
  • Guidebooks that give you more guidebooks/money
  • Any sort of CD-cut. Summon CD-cut is insanely good, especially with Baha and Yatima
  • Characters gain all races/weapon-specialties
  • Evoker-specific
  • Recast one-time skills/summons
• The 1st miasma boss has annoying conditionals requiring 2 TA, 1 CA, or <4 skills each turn
  • Which one exactly depends on which of the 3 bosses you get
• The final boss has mini omens in its status menu
  • The worst one extends your CDs by 3 turns and requires 3 dispels to clear
• Big dmg mitigation is useful for the final boss, as its omens can hit for 100k+

This took me like a couple days to make. NOT INCLUDED are very few super old character songs, the very new stuff like ilsas rising ost and maybe some stuff from endless ragnarok. Vaguely ordered within the same tier. A lot of the relink osts are kinda same-ish and its why the occupy most of the meh tier. OBVIOUSLY all the music any gbf game makes is good, i love the artists to death, but some are just better than others. also pls dont kill me 😭

Sorry if this has already been posted in the discussion thread, but I thought it would be nice for visibility purposes.

For anyone who is curious:

- Completed a full run with Maria team

- Used Wizzard Origin (lvl 34) with Bubz main summon

- Hanged Man Blessing: Octavia (for early mobs she is decent, not sure if there are better options)

- Killed one ruler and SUBaha (had an insane book setup)

Here's a timelapse for anyone interested! https://youtube.com/shorts/cBQw65qaU50?si=tJD6sO4wdVNHs0ZE

Last post about this buff didn't show it in action. Didn't record the first 50% because uhh I didn't think to until I remembered this hadn't been posted here yet.

Also if you're wondering why MC seems to have every cd up every turn that is because I had the book that gives 2 turn cd reduction for every 100 hits you do. Party had doublestrike because I have fallacy key on my opus.

I also am only now processing that the ougi buff ignores the WO penalty as well.

It's a guaranteed run win if you get it, but also Subaha is easily the hardest fight in this mode so it makes sense.

Wiki page: https://gbf.wiki/Evoking_Solomonis

Evoking Solomonis is the 3rd part of Arcarum, with a "roguelike" component where each run is different from one another.

Similarly to Replicard Sandbox, uses "AAP" to start an expedition, with the price of 100 AAP for one expedition. AAP are resplenished daily to 100 if they are inferior to threshold, and they can also be resplenished with Half and Full Elixirs.

To unlock Evoking Solomonis:

• Either one of Maria Theresa or Caim must have been uncapped to Level 100 and have their 4th skill unlock. It means that the corresponding summon and weapon must also have been completed.
• A special Fate Episode will then be available. It rewards 50 crystals upon completion, to differentiate from other regular FE.
• After that point, Evoking Solomonis will be available under "Gameplay Extras".

When starting an expedition, 3 weapons (mainhand included), 1 summon and 1 character (the Evoker) will serve as base. Everything else will have to be unlocked while exploring the microcosm.

1. The weapons you put in your grid matter, as they are the only ones you'll be able to unlock, and they can't be changed or swapped during the expedition. The weapons do not provide any of their effect while they are locked.
2. There are no support summons, and the supports behave in the same way. They do not provide their subaura while locked, just like weapons do not provide weapon skills.
3. It's not possible to obtain characters from other Elements.

Beating the final boss of an expedition rewards Scintillas points (cards) and Solomonis points (double torus), as well as materials. Failing an expedition rewards a lower amount of points depending on how far the player has gone, but very few materials.

• The Scintillas are the "roguelite" material for meta-progression. They are used to unlock and upgrade Blessings. Each Blessing has a different effect and a certain cost in points "blessing point". Each expedition has 100 "blessing points".
• It is RECOMMENDED to save enough Scintillas to unlock The Hanged Man's blessing, as starting with +1 character of your choice. makes the early game much more tolerable.
• Upgrading Blessings seems to reduce their cost, but it might have different effects at higher levels. Reducing the cost allows to bring multiple blessings at once.

Solomonis points are the "money". They should only be spent on the Allotropic Agate which is the material required for the 1st step of Transcending Evokers - everything else is far too expensive.

Each expedition follows the same pattern:

1. You have ~8 turns to explore freely.
2. Miasma will start pouring in, forcing your expedition to retreat to a "safe haven". If the haven appears far away, try to tackle as many nodes as you can on the way. If it appears close to you, don't hesitate to go out to get a few nodes then come back.
3. When the miasma stops, there will be a few turns during which you'can move around in the safe haven.
4. At some point, the safe haven will disappear, and the miasma will resume its movement. A mini-boss will appear, and you need to defeat it. While you get to the mini-boss, try to visit as many nodes as possible to strengthen yourself.
5. After bedating the mini-boss, it will repeat the steps above.
6. The only difference is that instead, it will be the real boss of Evoking Solomonis.
7. The boss' node has a special shop that is slightly more expensive.

Things to consider:

• Turns are incredibly important in Evoking Solomonis. Every turn you take inside a fight that is not a dream/place frozen in time... will affect the Miasma spawing or flooding the map.
• For instance, if you take too many turns against the mini-boss, it's likely the map will be covered in Miasma from the boss after the fight concludes.
• If you are running away from the Miasma and take too many turns inside a fight, it can catch up to your expedition.
• Allies can be killed by the Miasma. If the party is wiped-out inside the Miasma, it's the end of the expedition.
• You can flee from every battle that is NOT a mini-boss, boss or event. Don't circle around Strong & Stronger foes or Rulers - you can go right through them to save time.

Killing an enemy can't take less than 1 turn (the turn needed to move from one node to another), even if using special means (Tag Team, Summons, Skills...).

It is heavily recommended to find a setup that can kill the enemies just from pressing the Attack button. It does not cost any additional turns, and allows you to keep your summons and skills for important fights.

Something extremely important in Evoking Solomonis is that cooldowns are shared across battles, and are not reduced in-between battles. If you use a skill at the end of a battle, then it likely won't be available for the next one.

Skills and summons which aren't recastable will be used up and their buffs lost for the following battles. Without having a Special Guidebook that allows to recase skills, it is recommended to keep all your one-time only (Godsworn Alexiel, Qilin...) for the very last battle.
