Strengths & Weaknesses

Gallagher

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Champagne Etiquette” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Special Brew” Immediately heals a target ally for 2020 HP—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Tipsy Tussle” The Besotted state makes targets receive 15.0% more Break DMG—ignore it and Gallagher plays like a worse generic Abundance unit.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Gallagher looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • As a 4★ Abundance unit, Gallagher is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
  • Spamming “Special Brew” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gallagher is often the SP sink.

Lynx

Strengths
  • “Snowfield First Aid” restores HP across the threatened allies, giving Lynx a panic button when Skill ticks are not enough.
  • Skill “Salted Camping Cans” restores HP across the threatened allies—Outgoing Healing and HP relics convert directly into safer DPS turns.
  • “Outdoor Survival Experience” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
