Siegfried is a melee character in Granblue Fantasy: Relink whose whole rhythm depends on nailing perfectly timed primary attacks. He rewards precise inputs with rising damage, gives the party defensive and utility buffs, and scales into some of the game’s toughest content through his weapon choices. If you want him on your team and want to know exactly what he brings, here is the full picture.
Quick answer: Siegfried is a standard roster character. Earn a Crewmate Card from quest rewards, then trade it to Sierokarte to unlock him. He does not require any special treasure like the paid or trade-locked characters do.
How to unlock Siegfried
Siegfried is part of the standard roster, so you unlock him the same way as most crew members. As you clear story chapters and complete certain quests, you receive Crewmate Cards. Take a card to Sierokarte and spend it to add the character you want.
You are given enough Crewmate Cards over the course of the game to unlock everyone in the standard roster, so Siegfried does not compete against other picks in a way that locks you out. Only Tweyen, Seofon, and Sandalphon need special treasures for their cards, and those characters, along with Fraux and Fediel, can also be bought as character packs. Siegfried is not in either of those groups.
You know it worked when Siegfried appears as a selectable, playable character after the Crewmate Card trade with Sierokarte is confirmed.

Siegfried skills
Siegfried’s kit mixes personal damage buffs, party protection, and stun tools. Draconic Release is the centerpiece, since it stacks stronger with each perfectly timed primary attack and drops entirely the moment you mistime one.
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Draconic Release | Grants ATK↑ to Siegfried, growing stronger with each perfectly timed primary attack. He loses the effect upon mistiming an attack. |
| L’Ombre d’Hier | Readies his weapon to parry and counter. |
| Manigance | Grants ATK↑ and DEF↑ to Siegfried. |
| Mirage | Grants DEF↑ to the entire party. |
| Nelah Nav | Unleashes a ground-traveling slash that deals a high amount of stun. |
| Salvator | Grants Debuff Immunity and Drain to the entire party. |
| Uwe | A multi-slash lunge attack chainable into a primary combo. Grants Stout Heart to Siegfried while executing the skill. |
| Verdrängen | Unleashes a shockwave that travels in a straight line and inflicts DEF↓ on a direct hit. |
Siegfried support skills
His two support skills reinforce the timing-based playstyle. One pushes his combo damage when inputs are clean, the other protects his secondary attacks from being interrupted.
| Support Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Délivrance | Enhances perfectly timed primary attacks when they are chained in a combo. |
| Drachenblut | Foes’ attacks won’t interrupt Siegfried while he’s performing secondary attacks. |
Note: Both support skills feed the same loop. Clean, well-timed primary attacks build Draconic Release, and Drachenblut keeps you from getting knocked out of your secondary chains while you set that up.
Siegfried weapons
Siegfried’s weapons cover the standard trait types plus his Ascension and Terminus options. Each one changes his stat spread and adds a passive, so the pick depends on whether you want survivability, crit output, stun, or raw endgame scaling.
| Weapon | Type | HP / ATK | Passive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integrity | Defender | 2551 / 2003 | Boosts base HP +4600. Boosts defense up to +35% based on how low your health is. |
| Ascalon | Ascension | 3058 / 4013 | Raises trait levels +1 of all equipped sigils, attack +160, base health +2600, and damage limit +15%. |
| Windhose | Executioner | 1363 / 3320 | Boosts damage +46% against weak points and attacks from behind. Deals +140% more damage to foes in Break. |
| Hrunting | Stinger | 1535 / 2299 | Boosts critical hit rate +29% and damage dealt by critical hits +35%. |
| Broadsword of Earth | Stunner | 2035 / 2660 | Stun power +60, link attacks +70% DMG, Skybound Arts +35% DMG, chain bursts +14% to +35% DMG, and link level gained +35%. |
| Balmung | Terminus | 99 / 6085 | Recovers 2% of Max HP over time. Attack +50% and damage cap +100% when maximum health is 45,000 or lower. |
Balmung stands out for its low base HP paired with a large attack and damage cap boost that only activates at higher max health totals, making it a high-risk endgame option. Ascalon, as his Ascension weapon, is the broad upgrade thanks to the sigil trait level bonus and the flat attack, health, and damage limit gains.
Put together, Siegfried is a precision melee pick. Land your primary attacks on time to keep Draconic Release climbing, lean on Mirage and Salvator to shore up the party, and choose a weapon that matches the fight in front of you.
