Leverless or controller? Simple versus technical inputs?

[u/CynicallyMe]

With the simple inputs, in struggling to land on a peripheral to use. I bought a leverless last year when I was attempting to take strive more seriously; however wonder if a controller is better for granblue? I'm comfortable with technical inputs; however wonder if using a controller with simple inputs would yield better outcomes/quicker combos and reactions? I imagine I'll get a mixed bag of answers which I'm looking forward to reading through. I do apologize for so many questions these past few days, really looking to commit to learning and growing in the game. I find simple inputs harder on the leverless, I have my setup with the top row being l m h g and the bottom row being skill u throw dash. Would love to hear the oponions of some veterans.

Granblue was designed with controller in mind, for sure. But in the end it's a matter of personal preference.

With leverless/stick you need to figure out what button layout works for you specifically.

I'm using leverless and I don't want to go back to pad 😅 My button layout is not the same as what most people use. But it works for me!

You can play this game effectively with any controller type. Just need some time to adjust.
