|-
! Raw Damage
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Extreme Violence}}
| Currently the only crit damage boost grimoire. Coming alongside its high base atk, this grimoire boosts crit damage, making it extremely dangerous in the hands of anyone who can naturally deliver critical hits.
|-
! Raw Damage
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Dimensional Interference Imaginary Number Field}}
| Coming in with the D/S combination, Number Field brings quite a bit of punch to those higher end rolls, a useful choice on characters who don't want to be pressing R. Otherwise, just use Cascading Incandescence.
|-
! Raw Damage
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Mugen}}
| Coming in with the awkward R/S combination, Mugen sacrifices atk power while also sacrificing the all important D button. It also has a low atk stat, meaning that even with its special boost, you are probably better off using Cascading Incandescence.
|-
! Raw Damage
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Power of Logic}}
| A Brief Respite has better stats.
|-
! Raw Damage
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Sin Architect}}
| Cascading Incandescence has better stats and a better effect.
|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Gain Art}}
| The most damaging Overdrive Generation grimoire.
|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Irreconcilable Concepts}}
| A unique grimoire that adds both OD and Heat gen. Its also not a % based heat gen, but a flat amount that gets added on every D. A unique niche that has its uses
|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Imperator's Light}}
| The best defensive Heat Generation grimoire.
|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Manifestation of Technique}}
| The most damaging Heat Generation grimoire, and one of the most damaging grimoires overall.
|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|One-Eyed Warrior}}
| Its nothing special for meter generation. What is special is the Overdrive Extend, making it a valuable support grimoire.
|-
! Meter Build / Personal
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|The People Important to Me}}
| The best defensive Overdrive Generation grimoire. It turns into a real grimoire when attached to Es, as you sacrifice some OD gain for bulk. But none of the other OD grimoires are comparable to this one's bulk.
|-
! Meter Build

|-
! Meter Build
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Endless Pursuit}}
| A rare usable 4* grimoire. Outclassed by Imperator's Light, but still bulkier than the offensive heat gen grimoires.
|-

| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Arbitrator's Might}}

|-
! Defensive
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Dance of the Exorcist}}
| The first true support grimoire, and still one of the best. AOE damage reduction is a fantastic effect, and this one is the best at that.
|-
! Defensive
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Determination!!}}
| The best Fortitude grimoire available. If the situation for this arises, its the best at it. But its still rather niche.
|-
! Defensive
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Summer Sea's Treasure}}
| While Dance of the Exorcist provides more damage reduction to allies, this provides more bulk to the character it is attached to. Great for bulking up your support at the cost of some bulk on everyone else.
|-
! Defensive
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|Wings of Truth}}
| The best 5* regen grimoire. While it does have a higher regen rate than 4* Rachel Regen, its almost always outclassed by Rachel Regen. However, for those niche scenarios where healing is more important than defence (such as status effect spam), this one does more to help than the 4*.
|-
! Defensive
| style="vertical-align:top;" | {{bbdw|grimoire|The Stillness of a Moonlit Night}}
| The best regen grimoire. Even though its only 4 stars, it brings so much defense that it outclasses the additional healing provided by the 5* grimoires. There may be scenarios where Wings of Truth is useful, but this will be almost always better.
