Overview

Formerly a deathly-ill boy who decided that fate can bugger off and invented alchemy in Granblue Fantasy universe... some 1000 years before everybody else. Cagliostro is a setplay character available from a DLC as a part of Season Pass 2. Her play-style could be described as an inverse of Beelzebub; reacting and utilizing her set-play traps, projectile-nullifying rock ball, her teleport ability and other special moves to punish reckless opponent. Her short-ranged normal attacks and lack of meterless reversal leave a lot to be desired, but smart reaction may allow the player to overcome their foe. It's never just about appearance alone with Cagliostro.

Lore:The creator of alchemy in the skydoms, Cagliostro sought to achieve immortality, and in turn, discovered a way to swap out her body at regular intervals. An extreme narcissist capable of creating her ideal body at will, she created her current self in the pursuit of idealized cuteness. However, her attempts at matching it with an equally cute voice often leave something to be desired. Cagliostro is supremely confident, which causes her to view others as incompetent buffoons. Forever greedy in the ever-changing world around her, Cagliostro pursues alchemic research with single-minded stoicism.
Voice:English: Sarah Williams/Japanese: Sakura Tange

 Cagliostro  Cagliostro is a setplay character who utilizes her traps and other special moves to punish opponent's offense.

Pros
Cons
  • Powerful setplay: Cag's traps allow her to control a lot of real estate, giving her time to charge rock or poke at the opponent with 623x and keep her opponents locked down on knockdown.
  • Very powerful projectiles: Level 4 and 5 rocks go through even EX fireballs, allowing Cagliostro to dominate opponents at range. She can even use it in the air, giving her a reliable and rare air fireball.
  • Slippery movement: With a teleport and multiple ways to stall her momentum in midair, Cags can set traps and disappear in the blink of an eye.
  • No meterless reversal: Cags doesn't have a DP, meaning it's harder for her to get out of pressure than other characters.
  • Stubby normals: Cagliostro's normals are mediocre at best, leading her to lean heavily on her setplay and rock to compensate for her poor pokes.

Cagliostro poses, charging up a rock. The rock levels up approximately every 30 frames, or every time 5U is pressed. 5U can be held, keeping it out like a shield to block a single hit of a projectile.

Every time the rock levels up, it despawns and a new entity takes its place. Whenever this happens, it refreshes the projectiles that it can block. This means it's possible to block multiple projectiles by holding the rock, though it's not reliable if the opponent is throwing multiple projectiles at close range, or using multi-hit projectiles.

Cagliostro fires the rock she charged with 5U. If no rock was charged prior, Cagliostro will simply use level 1 rock.

Level 1: 1 hit, basic projectile. Level 2: 2 hits, will eat normal projectiles and continue with one hit. Level 3: 3 hits, cancels out EX projectiles. Level 4: 4 hits, will eat EX projectiles and continue to travel with a single hit. Level 5: 5 hits, will eat EX projectiles and continue to travel with two hits, launches on hit.

Cagliostro's bread and butter setplay tool. Performing this special will cause Cagliostro to place a trap in the following locations:

  • 236L: Directly at Cagliostro's feet
  • 236M: A character length and a half in front of Cagliostro
  • j.236L: Approximately a character length away from Cagliostro
  • j.236M: About two character lengths away from Cagliostro

The H version of these places both traps at the same time with the startup of the L version.

Cagliostro poses, causing a spear to erupt from the ground.

All versions of this move track within a certain range

  • 623L ranges from point blank to about one character width away, and hits the opponent away from Cagliostro
  • 623M ranges from about one character width away to about 3/4 screen away, and hits the opponent towards Cagliostro. This also turns the opponent around, so the opponent can back-roll towards Cagliostro
  • 623H ranges from point blank to about half-screen, and hits the opponent away from Cagliostro

All versions will make the opponent airborne, and can hit them into either air or ground traps.

Cagliostro creates a fake body and teleports away. All versions of this move have some invuln while Cagliostro isn't on the screen, but none of them start at frame one.

  • 22L: Cagliostro teleports backwards around backdash length. Mainly used as a fakeout tool to bait the opponent into pressing something after using 22M.
  • 22M: Cagliostro teleports a set distance forward. This move can cross up depending on how close or far away the opponent is.
  • 22H: Cagliostro performs a hit before teleporting forward. This version has a pitifully small hitbox, making it difficult to use in combos.

Neither the M or H versions of this move will allow you to cross up the opponent if they are in the corner.

Average Skybound Art. It's worth noting there's currently a glitch that causes the opponent to constantly slide away from the direction Cags was initially facing if this move trades with anything.

Extremely easy to combo mid-screen if the opponent accidentally gets caught in a trap, or is otherwise hit into a trap with another one of your moves

On Hit Invuln

Cagliostro creates a landslide of gold on the floor in front of her that moves near full-screen, and then encases the opponent in gold if the move connects at close range.

Because the move travels nearly full-screen, you can use this to tack on some extra damage to random trap hits from just about anywhere, though because the hitbox is so low to the ground it can be difficult to convert off the air traps, possibly making the regular super preferable in those situations.

The range on the cinematic hitbox is rather small, meaning you're not likely to get the full animation and damage outside of the corner or auto combos.
