At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Gepard
- Ultimate “Enduring Bulwark” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Daunting Smite” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Unyielding Will” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Enduring Bulwark”, Gepard spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Gepard’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Spamming “Daunting Smite” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gepard is often the SP sink.
March 7th
- Ultimate “Glacial Cascade” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “The Power of Cuteness” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Girl Power” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—ignore it and March 7th plays like a worse generic Preservation unit.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building March 7th’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- As a 4★ Preservation unit, March 7th 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 “The Power of Cuteness” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—March 7th is often the SP sink.
