INTRODUCTION 
 
So you decided to start/build/main/meme Dark huh? Well welcome to 
suffering. Here’s nothing but Celeste Harps ; w;) Anyway, you’re here and you 
want some advice on “How2BuildDark or How2beLowkeySemiEsport” or just 
really want to assert some dominance in ‘some’ raids (lel). I can’t blame you, 
Dark looks like top powerhouse of DPS, then KMR 2017 happened (Yeah Earth, 
I’m looking at you *insert a pinch of salt*) though even that happened, it still 
is a DPS element so... *shrugs* Well I’m not going to extend this any further, I 
ran out of jokes and memes for this part anyway.

Magna GRIDS 
A X E - - - - g r i d 
I wanted to axe you for an axe pun, but I guess I found one by axedent. 
 
Let’s start with the comfy side of Dark, the Axe grid. Why comfy? Well, Celeste will 
happily give you all the axes you’ll ever need. They’ll drop like no tomorrow, and 
you’ll be done within just a few days/weeks. 
 
Progression: 
● Think about finally building some dark pool t​ o farm light 
● Just complain about Celeste dropping nothing but harps, axes and 
spears, but add them to grid anyway. 
● Suptix Djannu, so you have slimescalibur and one of the best dark 
attackers. 
● #IllSparkZoiSomedayAndMoveOnToClaws   
SEND IN THE CHOPPER! (get it? No? Okay :c) / KMR Vanilla Axe 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4-6 Celeste Axes 
● SL15 EX Weapon 
● 1 Cerb Dag/1 Atma 
Weapon/ 1 Olden Cort 
● Bahamut Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● A slight sense of 
inferiority because people 
say ‘Claws and Guns > 
Axes’ 
● You need a “Badass” 
badge 
● Most likely has 
Korwa on the end of his 
team line-up. 
 
You see, I shouldn’t be 
saying it’s a Vanilla grid 
because it has those damned Olden Cortanas as an option (#SuedByGBF) but I 
can’t really blame it, Dark magna is just filled with Cortanas because of its 
‘Trium’ Skill, now thanks to Atma weapons and more high/perma MA dark 
characters, it slightly changes things but not a lot. Unless half of the party 
benefits from/is affected by Atma, the Atma won't be effective.  
 
There’s nothing really much to explain to Axe grids as they’re somewhat 
straightforward. “Pure Raw Damage” and no gimmicks.  
 
“Kiro, why is there a Cerberus Dagger suddenly in the grid?! Explain that!”  
Ok so here are the reasons why there are 3 Multiattack weapon options on this 
grid: 
● Olden Cort - DA/TA + raw damage 
● Atma - Same with Cort, but minus the -10% HP cut. 
● Cerb Dagger - Only consider when there’s an active/upcoming 
Cerb&Fenrir showdown. It’s ‘slightly’ higher raw damage than Corts 
would give, gives a small DA and it’s SL15 (better than a GW Dag by SL) + 
no HP cuts. Cerberus drops them frequently like Axes too, it’s easy to 
rake one MLB within the first few hours of the event. 
 C L A W - - - - g r i d s 
#EnmityIsLife | I will not make a clawful pun, I promise it’s going to be clawsome. 
(Kill me please, why am I even doing this.) 
 
Claws are Dark’s bread and butter source of damage especially for off-ele/HL content. 
Avatar Guns and Staves are decent, but they still don’t overshadow claws. 
 
Progression: 
● Spark/beginner tix s.Zoi 
● Aspire to 1TKO foes for efficiency, since you’re busy with work irl 
● But just continue complaining about Celeste dropping shit tbh 
● Post in #saltmines your sad drops, while people drop Claws. 
● At least you can be ‘somewhat’ better when you’re done 
● Be ‘somewhat’ superior and flex on your lil’ Magna mates 
● You’re one of those “little eSport kids”

1. Replace axes/spears with claws 
2. Farm/Trade five 0* Claws, then skill level them to 10. FLB the 4 claws 
slowly but surely, while leaving the 5th at 0* or MLB since it’s likely 
going to be replaced later. 
 3. For new players, if you’re not farming GW dagger anytime soon, spend 
your prestige on a 0* Hermanubis, since that’s quick access to DATA and 
HP, very very useful for HL content. Asparas also have the new extended 
mastery skill called “Crestfallen Flower” that gives jammed buff to your 
party when using axes, which synergizes with Claws’ enmity damage. 
4. Next would be getting a 0* cort, to further boost your party DATA.  
5. Alternatively, if you have a decent light grid, you can forget about 
trading the 0* cort and focus on farming/trading Avatar Staves instead, 
since Avatar will likely drop a couple of 0* Corts for free.

The ‘Fledgling’ F2P Darklord Grid: 

 
Grid Contents: 
● 4-5 Celeste Claws 
● 2 Cortanas, or 1 
Cortana + Atma weapon 
● SL15 Ex Weapon 
● Bahamut Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● Dominance over 
90% of content 
● A “Living on the 
Edge” badge beside your 
name 
 
Probably the current 
“above average” basic grid 
beginners should aim for 
on Dark to roflstomp most 
content. The grid should be 
relatively easy to complete 
for f2p players, a really 
good standard claw grid.  
 
With the introduction of Atma weapons, you can replace 1 of the Olden 
Cortanas for the Atma Weapon to reduce the HP cut. Needless to say that you 
should have at least 2/4 (or basically half) or more of your party affected by the 
Atma Weapon for the boost to be effective.  
 
 
 
Forever F2P LUUL / ‘Meta’mancer Grid: 
 

Grid Contents: 
● 4 Celeste Claws 
● 2 Olden Cortanas/1 
Olden Cortana & Atma 
weapon 
● 1 Xeno Katana 
● 1-2 Avatar Staff 
● 0-1 Bahamut Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● A “DarkMain4Lyf” 
badge beside your name 
 
You may not like it, but this 
is how peak performance F2P 
dark looks like (at the 
moment). All F2P DarkLords 
are suffering in Avatar mines 
for this grid as we speak. Yes, 
you need to farm two Avatar Staff, because it’s apparently the “golden ratio.” 
However, only bother with Avatar Staff after finishing the fledgling F2P grid.  
 
The HP part of the staff can be somewhat beneficial prior to FLB, but you’ll be 
losing damage obviously. If you need more HP, then just go with Baha, 
Hermanubis(MH) and/or Atma instead.  
 
Celeste x Baha makes the most out of the first FLB, and the second FLB staff 
gives a bit less because you only get 9% CA cap from it, but still nice to have 
regardless just for the CA damage boost and HP. Sentence skill CA damage is 
capped at 100% (1 staff = +20.9% CA damage), so full hp builds may also want 
staves over axes, just like how water makes use of 3-4 Europa harps instead of 
daggers. Some Hades users also use 1 in their grid for magna mod. 
 
As for mainhand choices, one of the best picks would be Orchid’s Parazonium 
because of its echo CA effect. Hermanubis offers HP, a decent da/ta ougi for the 
price of 3200 prestige​ o
​ r facing cancernubis a hundred times​. 
   
The “One Turn Man” / Mechanic Grid: 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4-5 Damage weapons 
● 1-3 Avatar Staff 
● 0-1 Hermanubis 
● Qilin Bow 
● Gun mainhand 
● “I do 100 Avatar, 100 
Celeste HL, 100 DAO, and 10 
Ubaha runs. EVERY. DAY.” 
● You need a “Bald 
Demon” badge 
 
One of the main reasons for 
building dark is the 1TKO 
QoL with s.Zoi. It’s basically 
you trying to deal damage 
higher than 15.5m on the 1st 
turn to kill EX+ GW bosses 
for meats, or trying to score decent enough to have blue chest drops from M2 
raids with the least amount of effort. Needless to say you’ll even need less 
buttons for event bosses. 
 
For Baha Call: ​CA damage cap is key, and Dark can afford to sacrifice raw 
damage/claws as long as Baha’s call effects are present. Two avatar staff 
boosts your CA cap by 30%, hermanubis = 10%, qilin bow = 10%, then finally 
ultima gives 15%, for a total of 65% grid ougi damage uncap. Adding more 
uncap weapons (hermanubis or chain burst ultima) will start hurting your 
damage unless you apply def down to the enemy. 
 
For Shiva Call:​ Why Shiva? He’s almost always available and usable even as 0* 
support summon. Using him will make you lose Baha’s 130% dark atk up, so 
the first thing to do is to focus on damage weapons to reach Shiva cap before 
adding uncap weapons. You need 2-3 staves, 4-5 claws (or 4 claws and a 
ribbon) and 1 qilin bow. Grid here: h ​ ttps://bit.ly/2xfmDau 
 
TL;DR: If you’re hitting cap, keep adding uncap weapons until it starts to fall 
off. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Intermission: NEXT LEVEL F2P / ‘Autism’ancer Grid: 
 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4-5 Avatar Guns 
● 1-2 Avatar Staff 
● 2 Xeno Katana 
● Bahamut Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● You got way too much 
time on your hands. 
● Obviously this autism 
grid came from a n ​ ipponjin, 
glorious master race. 
 
It’s totally not a Claw Grid, 
but some random madness 
we stumbled upon. Feel free 
to skip this one out if you 
don’t feel like melting away your brain cells. 
 
If you’re used to axes/non-enmity gameplay, you can consider building this 
grid. The raw damage can be underwhelming than axes when the crit doesn’t 
proc (vid in the above link), but consistent DA helps compensate it. Needless to 
say it truly shines vs light and null ele content. 
 
5 guns will make your characters DA/crit almost every time. Slotting in an 
Atma can help you get up to 70% DA and 20% TA. 
 
Similar to Fire Eckes, you’ll have higher crit % when using 2x Celeste, though 
Darklords prefer not to lose the Baha call effect (If only Celeste flb has a good 
call...) since the only merit of 2xCeleste is increasing the skill effects of the 
magna weapon you slot in (claw - enmity damage/olden cort - DATA/Avatar 
staff - HP), and that’s for another grid to be tried and tested in the near future. 
 
After some minmaxing, the grid owner figured out that having 2 Staff and 4 
Guns works better overall, so you might want to go with that instead. 
 
 
 
“I want a taste of the Primal stuff”/Aspiring Edgelord Grid: 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4 Celeste Claws 
● 1 Gisla 
● 1 Kirin Sword/Xeno 
Katana 
● 2 Olden Corts/1 Atma 
Weapon 1 Olden Cort 
● Bahamut Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● Slight dominance to 
everyone else (LUL) 
 
By the time you have 5 FLB 
Claws, you’ll start looking 
for ways to improve damage 
(No, 6th claw won’t solve 
the problem…) Like 
mentioned before, it’s all 
about replacing the 5th 
Claw, and if you’re too lazy to farm Avatar Staff (or have different priority for 
your pendants), don’t worry, there’s a simpler and quicker way to improve the 
‘Fledgling’ grid. It will cost you some lunch money though! Mainly because of 
that Gisla. 
  
What is a Gisla? As Dark people compare them: “Gisla is just a better Claw.” 
and it really lives up to that saying. It’s pretty much the same as the first grid, 
just replacing the 5th Claw with $26 and 3 Dama bars :^) and another thing 
that Dark players suggest is that having 1 Gisla is good for Magna grids which 
is very much true. 
 
 
   
“HadesSoon.jpeg” grid / Transition Grid(?) 
Grid Contents: 
● 4 Celeste Claws 
● 2 Gislas 
● 2 Olden Corts/1 
Olden 1 Atma Weapon 
● Bahamut 
Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● A good chunk of 
your money 
 
Uhh.. yeah remember 
when people suggested 
that 1 Gisla is good 
enough for Magna 
grids? Kids who have 
this grid don’t 
remember any of those 
words lol. Anyway, this 
grid is basically you 
looking for a Primal Grid in the future, and you’re just waiting for another 
suptix to spend your lunch money on :( “Kiro, why u no put unknowns?” you 
ask? It’s because Gisla is capable enough to replace Unknown. In the early days 
of GBF, the standard number of unknowns in a Dark grid are usually 1 or 2 and 
Gisla has high enough capacity to replace one, not to mention that enmity 
lying around. The grid is now basically injected with so much enmity that I’ll 
need to rethink my life choices about why I needed another Gisla in the first 
place but it already happened, so here you are with a high enmity-injected 
grid. Also, a little reminder to any of you who don’t know, if you’re expecting 
the next one to have 3 Gislas in Magna, might as well look on Primal grids to 
know what you’re expecting okay? O3o  
 
    
 
 
 
Primal GRID 
Primal Fantasy Tactics: The Money game(Is this even a good pun? :c help) 
 
Welcome to the Primal section where all you could see is wallets and probably a 
person fanning his money on my face, and probably most of us ‘F2P’ kids. 
 
Progression: 
● Pray for suptix 
● Dickpick Gisla-chan #NoRagets 
● Pray for dama grain drops so you wouldn’t be cucked by 9/10 crystals 
● FLB that waifu Gisla 
● Rinse and repeat 3-4x while praying for gold moons for extra choco bar 
● Spark Parazonium - then realize you have to use gold bars at this point 
 
 
 
 
2k18 ‘Meta’ Hades 
grid/True Darklord 
(bankrupt irl): 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 3-4 Gisla 
● 1 Xeno Katana 
● 1 Cerberus gun 
● 0-1 Ultima 
 ● 1 Avatar Staff 
● 1 Qilin Bow 
● Parazonium MH 
● Unlimited Credit Card Works 
● Dominance to almost everyone lol 
● Huge thanks to Zeed for the grid! 
 
The current meta for dark is to abuse the FLB Parazonium CA effect for those 
dank echoes while having Six wreck anything that stands before him. It’s 
pretty mandatory for MVP racing. 
 
Blutgangs are only considered in Hades Grids after the 3rd gisla, so please 
don’t put your bars on it. For the grid above, a Blutgang can be plugged in as 
replacement for the fourth gisla, or as a minor overall damage increase if you 
drop the xeno for it, while keeping the cap up from the Qilin bow. 
 
One Avatar Staff is usable in a Hades grid, but should generally be only used 
over Celeste claw when your ​bank account​ grid is entirely done. 
 
DATA/Multiattacks - Multiple parazoniums aren’t really necessary for MA in 
Hades. You’re better off using Cerb guns as they cost $0 and are more reliable 
source for DATA - more importantly, it’ll save you a slot for another damage x 
enmity weapon like a gisla/claw. Even Ultima sword at any point can and 
should be replaced by a 2nd Cerb gun if you aren't playing sword classes, 
unless you're racing Baha HL, in which case you’d favour a raw damage 
weapon over another DATA weapon. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
UBAHA HL GRIDS 
Here comes the TL;DR section. You’ve been warned! 
 
The grids here totally belong to a different sky realm, conjured by Darklords who 
wanted to prove that “Dark can do own UbahaHL too!” Well, most darklords can do it 
now reliably compared to half a year ago, just that Wind, Earth and Water are pretty 
much the goto ele for less thinking. # ​ DarkIsNowTheSmartPeoplesEle 
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5o-1hAXIhA  
This is probably one of the best reference on how we do the raid, unfortunately it’s in 
Japanese. But if you’re familiar with the raid already with other ele, it’s not that hard 
to figure out. The tactics have changed a bit with newer summons and character 
rebalances, so adjust your strats accordingly. 
 
Lineup - If you’re not sure who to use, Naru, Six, S.Zoi and Black Knight are pretty 
solid. But it’s really up to you/what suits your playstyle. 
 
If you’re annoyed at certain phases like 50/40 Sirius, then pick characters that can 
survive it and/or eat it for you (Like BK) 
 
 
 
 
 
General strategy: 
100-96% - If you’re in random coop rooms and got no time to cast anything, only use the 
necessary skills to ramp up your damage. 
At 96%, be sure that a Phalanx is up before you push through. 
 
94-85% - Auto attack and pray for no mark, try to fill up your party’s charge bars before 85%. 
Use any skill bursts like Naru’s ODA to push toward 85%, and preferably not skip deadly flare 
(81%) . Be sure to eat deadly flare with substitute on. 
 
80-76% - You can take one turn without clicking any skills (since that’d fill diamonds.)  
Baha will have a momentary break around this phase but will recover as soon as it hits 75. 
At 75%, it’s sufficient to use any single hit protection skills like mirror image or centurion on 
MC. 
 
75-71% - You can choose to just wait for 70%, or cast defensive summons like Grimnir if you 
want to get a few more turns. 
 
70-55% - This should be one of the easiest phases, first you dispel the “debuff per turn” buff 
on baha. Then have either fear or paralyze so everyone can breeze through 56% , just keep an 
eye on the diamonds as always.  
At 55, have a full cut and survive the flare. Ask for a clear if you’re stoned. 
 
55-50% - Greenpot MC/Characters who are low, if you have characters who can survive at 1 HP 
like D.Jeanne/Naru, and a character who’ll eat Sirius (like BK/Zaja/Best Dad) you shouldn’t be 
too worried. 
 
50-30% - Usual button mashing and manage buffs, if you have Naru, you can use her ODA as 
Baha hits 35%. 
 
30-28% - You usually sit this one out. Taking the nuke is fine if you know there’s a phalanx for 
28 or if you have enough HP. Also an option is to purposely take the nuke to get an important 
character to the frontline. 
If you choose to skip, at 28%, simply use a skill so it will instantly fill ubaha’s diamonds before 
attacking. 
 
28-22% - Take turns and make sure no one dies. 
At 22% Baha will have another dispel nuke, so it’s best to throw whatever you have while your 
buffs are up. At 15% you can no longer use summons (unless you’re doing the 10% Thor role) 
so use them all as well except for Athena/Dark buncle for 100% cut vs 15% Skyfall. 
 
22-15% - Same as 28-22: Take as many turns as you can and try not to die. Save up a full chain 
before 15% and use it at either 13% to push into 11% or just wait for people to push further and 
you go straight to 10%.  
At 10%, either use phalanx+sub or phalanx only if you have enough hp for the collision and 
lightning. 
 
10-0% - …It’s going to die anyway, but using bluepot, buffs and taking turns is the tl;dr.  
 
*If you have Six, his 4th ability is reserved for the part you want to use it on, really.  
Damage should be identical pretty much everywhere. (Save for 10% on massive Sabo runs, 
70-50% if you have it up is a good time due to def down being up. DPT and later works fine.)  
*common sense still applies. 
 
We only have 4 grids that are proven and tested so far, and if you wish to show 
everyone yours, just go ahead and send f​ iri#3881 ​pics of your grid(s). 
 
The “I can MVP UBHL too” Hades Grid/:pogchamp: 
 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 3-4 Gislas 
● 1-2 Avatar Staff 
 ● 2-3 MA weapon 
● 1-2 Xeno 
● Mainhand 
● The “ULTIMATE BADASS” Darklord badge 
● Seeing the lowly magnascrubs(like me) tryharding UBahaHL with Dark 
and laugh. 
● Scores 1m+ 
● Thanks again to Zeed for the grid! 
 
This is probably one of the most successful ubaha hl grids that can compete 
with other elements, even surpassing their damage if given to the right hands. 
 
Mainhand - you can use Blutgang, Qilin Sword, GW Sword, and Xiphos. Just 
keep in mind that Xiphos is a double edged sword with the random 30% 
substitute chance. 
 
Multiattack - raw damage is more important than MA because of Ubaha’s 
insane defense, though Hades have more room to extend MA with the help of 
the double mod premiums. 
 
Non-Primal mods - One Avatar Staff would suffice for magna, and Xeno 
Katana for EX. 1 Staff is better than claw w/the HP & CA damage buff. 
 
 
 
The “KMR​ussian​ Roulette” UbahaHL Magna II Grid 
 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4 Celeste Claws 
● 1-2 Avatar Staff 
● 1-2 Avatar Gun 
● 1 MA weapon 
● 1 Xeno 
● Xiphos MH 
 
This grid is still work in 
progress, but based on my 
exp with the raid using the 
old grids below, this should 
be better. Enmity alone won’t let you cap damage, so the random 50% crit 
bonus from Avatar guns helps a lot especially since you’ll be above 50% HP 
most of the time. 
 
I can’t stress enough how pissed I am with wind having a 100% chance revive 
that’s also a core chara (which can be refreshed by Qilin of course), fortunately 
Xiphos was introduced and this covers up the biggest weakness of dark in the 
raid while enabling enmity at the same time, if executed properly. 
 
It’s called “KMR Roulette” because it relies on Xiphos as MH, a.k.a. 30% 
chance you’ll put a bullet in your head every turn, as frequent as getting 10-20 
draws in 10-part draw roulettes. Alternatively, you can use Gisla or Qilin Sword 
as MH. If you committed a Dark Ultima Sword (which is a bad idea btw), you 
can use that too. Bringing Justice summon will help keep everyone alive and 
save you some greens in case the MC takes too much hits from Xiphos’s sub. 
   
The next few grids are pretty old, but they should still do a good job helping 
you clear the raid. 
 
The very first “I can Dark in UBahaHL, trust me.” Hades grid 
 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4 Gislas 
● 3 Diablo Bows 
● 2 Cerberus Guns 
● Nirvana 
● “At least I survived”  
● Expect minimum 
honors 
 
One of the first grids that 
cleared UBahaHL with Dark. 
Since UBahaHL needs a 
significant amount of HP, 
this is probably your safest 
bet if you want to clear 
UBahaHL with Dark.(and 
probably MVP it, too) Gislas 
for enmity, Diablo Bows for 
the HP kicks, Cerb Guns for the multiattacks and a couple of +99s in your 
weapons. ​Something unobtainable by a standard Magna Dark (unless you’re on 
Cosmos and some +99s, I think a good HP is obtainable, unsure about that 
though.) but I believe that one day, someone will do UBahaHL and clear it (and 
probably by some miracle, MVPs it too) with a Magna grid. Buuuut that’s just 
me trying to dream about it lol. Also to include, you’re most likely to do Sage 
on UBahaHL so Nirvana is pretty important on this grid. 
 
 
   
2k17 UBahaHL Magna grids 
 
Grid Contents: 
● Mainhand

 MEME GRIDS  
Grids that are just used in memeful play(and kinda work in some occasions)go in this 
damn panel of just pure dank stuff. If you got one that’s pretty fun to use/viable at 
some point. Send me a pic and tell me about it.

Edgy Axe grid / Cort-Axe grid 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 5 Celeste Axes 
● 2 Olden 
Corts/1 Atma 
Weapon 
● Kirin 
Sword/Xeno Katana 
● Bahamut 
Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● Questioning 
life choices on why 
you have 7k-ish HP 
in an Axe grid. 
● Really needs a 
“ULTRA Badass” 
badge. 
● Your middle 
name is “Danger” 
 
I seriously had 
doubts on this grid when I first saw it/tried it. For me the idea was a bit 
suicidal. 7k HP on an Axe grid is really questionable. The reason why Cort + 
Claw is playable is because Claw has enmity, so if ever you’re hit to bits, you’ll 
have the DPS + the DA/TA to unleash your inner dominance, but this grid has 
none of that except the DA/TA. So if ever you’re hit to bits, you’re just dealing 
the same damage waiting for your demise. Given also the fact that claws give 
higher HP than axe, claws can cover up the lost HP more. In conclusion, this 
might as well be a situational grid where you can mash the attack button to 
glory, like a Baha HL for example or it can just be a Semi-Meme Grid tier.(tell 
me what you think about it) I tried it on my end, it was fine. The DA/TA is good 
but when you get hit, you won’t feel any type of change in damage, making it 
more dangerous. 
 
“The only viable mixed grid” / Axe-Gisla / Transition Grid II 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 4 Celeste 
Axes 
● 2 Gislas 
● 1 Atma/1 
Olden Cort 
● Kirin 
Sword/Xeno Katana 
● Bahamut 
Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● A good chunk 
of money once 
again 
● A good chunk 
of memes as well. 
 
Same with the first 
transition grid, 
you’re just chatting 
in GBFI Discord 
“suptix when” till it comes up, with your 3 Dama Bars ready to be pulled out in 
your pockets any time. Again, Gisla is one hell of a drug in boosting your 
damage. Not much explanation going on, just a good mix of raw damage and a 
fair amount of enmity injection. 
 
 
 
 
   
The “I just want more claws” grid / KMR Vanilla Claw 
 
Grid Contents: 
● 6 Celeste Claws 
● Kirin 
Sword/Xeno Katana 
● 1 Atma Sword/1 
Olden Cort 
● Bahamut 
Weapon 
● Mainhand 
● An OG badge 
should be right 
beside your name 
● A good amount 
of bragging rights 
farming 6 damn 
claws 
 
Again, I said Vanilla 
grid again when 
there’s an Olden Cortana as an option(REEEE). This grid is basically an enmity 
injection down to everyone’s veins, but not so much DA/TA as what you’d 
expect in the other grids, the only good side of this grid is that you have little to 
no cut in HP, so you probably won’t worry about getting shut down in one 
filthy boss slap.(I hope) Another full F2P grid, but most likely you’re going to 
sit down in Celeste Omega tab in raidfinder for a couple more magnafests, as if 
it wasn’t painful enough :(( 
 
   
 
2k18 Hades grid (pre-Magna II): 
 
Grid Contents: 
● MH Choices: 
Hermanubis, gw 
dagger, Atma Sword, 
Qilin Sword 
● 3-4 Gisla 
● 1-3 Claws 
● 1-2 Xeno Katana 
● 0-2 Cerberus 
guns 
● 0-2 Blutgang 
● 1 Qilin Bow 
● A really good 
chunk of your savings 
● A shit ton of pots 
for those stupid guns 
and katanas. 
 
 
Since we have the 
upcoming Magna II, Class Weapons’ final upgrade and Arcarum Weapons, it’s 
really ideal to save your bars until these updates are out. Trust me, the meta 
will crash so hard a​ nd Earth/Water will no longer be the top ele​. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
The 2k17 “General all purpose” Hades grid 
 
​Grid Contents: 
● 3-4 Gislas 
● 3 Celeste Claws 
● 1-3 Cerberus Guns 
● 1-2 Normal Cortana 
● Mainhand 
● A really good chunk 
of your savings 
● A shit ton of pots for 
those stupid guns. 
 
 
Probably the hardest part 
here is the Cerb Guns, but 
then from a whale 
perspective who has a shit 
ton of pots from his moon 
stashー I​ probably need to 
shut up :x Since this is 
pretty much the well known grid for Hades users, if any whale/HadesLord that 
miraculously found this shit guide I made and has another type of Hades grid 
that they have + their insights about it, do let me know. I’ll try to add them as 
soon as I get them. I’m just a lowly Magna scrub.  
 
On a more serious note, this grid can 1TKO enemies reliably, high MA, high 
enmity, you can slot in an ultima skill/CA Damage uncap and finish the job.
