Ferry is one of those characters that looks simple on paper but completely changes how you think about hybrid playstyles once you get her going.
She heals, buffs, debuffs, and deals serious damage, all at the same time. If you’ve been sleeping on her, this guide will change your mind.
Let’s go through each part of her kit in detail.
How to Unlock Ferry
First things first: you unlock Ferry by spending a Crewmate Card at Siero’s Knickknack Shack. This option becomes available at the start of Chapter 4, so you won’t have to wait long into the story to grab her.

Ferry Playstyle & Build Guide in Granblue Fantasy Relink
Ferry’s playstyle focuses on using buff and healing skills off cooldown while also spamming the Purge Spirits, Umlauf, and Onslaught.
This way, she will have 100% uptime on buffs and debuffs and be able to deal significant damage while also providing healing and buffs to nearby allies.
The thing that makes her truly amazing, though, is her pet system. Ferry can also summon four ghost companions, Fugee, Nicola, Geegee, and Beppo, and the more of them you have active on the field at any given moment, the more powerful her skills become.
Almost everything in her kit scales off how many pets are out, so learning to keep them active is the big secret and thing to master when playing Ferry.
Best Ferry Weapon
The best overall Ferry weapon in Granblue Fantasy Relink is the Ethereal Lasher. However, this is an end-game Terminus weapon, and you’ll only get it after finishing the main story.
For the early game, your best option is the Flame Lit Curl (Stinger) or the Erinnerung (Ascension) in the mid-game due to their Crit and Damage buffs. Its damage multiplier outpaces the Flame Lit Curl at that stage, and I’d recommend keeping it until you can farm the Terminus.

Best Ferry Skills
Next, let’s go through the best Ferry skills in GBF Relink:
Purge Spirits – This is your main DPS skill, which deals damage and summons three Spirits at your location to attack enemies. With high stagger, you’ll be able to consistently pair it with Link attacks.
Umlauf – Summons a damaging around that circles around Ferry and deals damage to enemies hit. Also, it grants the Sout Heart buff, which makes Ferry immune to interruptions. With this buff, she can easily spam Onslaught without worrying about being interrupted.
Benediction – This skill offers great support utility. In a large AoE around Ferry, it heals allies and provides a buff, depending on how many pets you have on the field.
One pet grants regeneration, two pets grant 10% regeneration and defense, and three pets grant regeneration, 20% defense, and 20% attack.
Hinrichten – This skill buffs Ferry’s Attack by 50%, Critical Hit Rate by 30%, and grants Supplementary Damage and Invincibility.
To get all four buffs, you must have all your pets active on the field. Regardless, even if you just get the first two, the DPS increase is significant and well worth using.
These skills will grant Ferry enough DPS, healing, and buff options to increase her overall damage.

Best Ferry Sigils
The best Ferry build in GBF Relink focuses on increasing damage and applying debuffs. Based on that, here are the best Ferry Sigils:
- Phantasm’s Harmony: Increases damage cap and skill cooldown based on how many active pets you have
- Phantasm’s Concord: Increases damage and grants a chance to reduce enemy attack and defense upon hit. After upgrading this enough, you can have 100% uptime of the debuff, which is extremely helpful.
- Damage Cap: Increase damage cap
- Injury to Insult: Increase damage to enemies with debuffs – since you’ll have 100% uptime on defense reduction, this sigil will always be active
- Supplementary DMG: Increases supplementary damage
- Stamina: Increases attack based on how high your HP is
- War Elemental: All attacks count as if the enemy is weak to your element. Thus, it’s an extra 25% damage buff.
Mix and match these sigils based on what you have available, and always prioritize damage cap sigils for the end game.
Best Team Composition for Ferry
Ferry works best when paired with characters who can capitalize on the defense reduction she applies through Phantasm’s Concord.
High-burst DPS characters like Narmaya or Zeta benefit from having a permanent DEF debuff on the enemy, so pairing them with Ferry is a good approach.
If you want maximum support value, pairing Ferry with a second healer or shielder like Katalina will work, but my personal preference is to run Ferry alongside two high-DPS characters and let her buffs and debuffs do the heavy lifting.

Wrapping up
To summarize, the best Ferry build in Granblue Fantasy Relink involves using the Stringer weapon early on and focusing on damage and support skills.
As you progress towards the late game, upgrade to the Terminus weapon when you manage to get it and focus on damage cap sigils to become an amazing DPS and support character.
