More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

Guess I’ll be the one to ask; Is Gaillard worth the materials? :thinking: being only a anti-fiend hero, but could have potential as a sniper i’d say? :thinking:

#4

Only 4% think he’s average or worse. Always depends on what your got, but I don’t get the hesitation.

I would love to have him more than Penny. She may be too slow for Elizabeth; this guy will be right on time.

And while Peny is situational somewhat, he’s great sniper even if fiends are not in the game. He’s pretty much Gefjon but for fiends.

If he was more common, Elizabeth’s owners would be on suicide watch.

He is still a sniper first before anything else. Even without fiends, he can still fill out the sniper role quite effectively

He is the most hard hitting fast sniper in the game. If I hadn’t forgotten about someone, only Eiora & Flyffy hits harder and Fenrir if the enemy has less than 50% HP.

What about gefjon , would she hit harder ?

#10

and Liana with costume bonus should still be top tier

Sure but as you caltulate is a little difference, people often forgot her but she is a queen of snipers and every new one want to be as strong as her :slightly_smiling_face:

#11

No, he is superior. Lianna CB 512% x 793 = 4060, Gaillard 490% x 836 = 4096

Depends. In a vacuum he beats her (500%*772 = 3860).

But Gefjon wins when minions are in play - she can disregard minions no matter how many and how beefy they are; For Gaillard, they will soak his dmg. Also with her class she can bypass defensive buffs which also gives her some rng-based advantage.

#13

At first was bummed to get this guy (got 2 Esme instead of the other ones, but finally got Wolfgang as well in the end). In retrospect, he’s gonna be a nice add to a titan team and I’m happy I got him. Have Cathal LB and these two together will hit like trucks. Only problem is he is a wizard and I’m just stacked in wizards. Still need to fully emblem Cristobal who is at 9 now, so this guy won’t be getting wizard emblems any time soon…

#14

I like Gaillard; a sniper with these buffs will probably be easier to fit into any squad. Here’s my full review. Thanks!

You know, Lianna have for example 512%, Gefjon 500%.
But he’s still good :slight_smile:

#16

And so? His base attack stats are much higher than theirs, as a result he hits harder even the percentage is lower. Do the math.

So what does everyone think of him now, after his slight buff and now that their are other gargoyles?

#18

I think he’s the worst of the bunch of I’m being honest.

I would bet that is the case as he is the only one of them I have! :money_mouth_face: I actually got him last December when he and Penolite were featured and I still haven’t taken him past 3/70. Too many better blues and just not enough fiend hero’s that can’t be handled with healers to justify using those precious mats on him.

My opinion of him did not change - I still think he is great and use him a lot on wars, tournaments and basically everywhere I run a blue mono. He’s obvious choice for antifiend, but universal enough to face teams even when fiends are not in the game, which put my Alice on the bench. His snipe is fast and deadly. I’ll be limit breaking him for sure once I am done with other projects; especially that he didn’t need a buff but still got one.

Other gargoyles are strong, but I wouldn’t say he’s worst of them all. Tough to compare as they all serve different purposes and it all comes down to what you need the most and in what color, but in my personal situation I still prefer him over getting Penolite or Arco; if I wasn’t short on reds I’d also prefer him over El Duque. Only Goseck is unique and fun to play monster whom I wouldn’t trade for Gaillard :slight_smile:
