At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Gilgamesh
- Ultimate “Enuma Elish” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Gate of Babylon” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “"Amuse Me to the Fullest"” When a teammate uses their Ultimate—damage keeps flowing even when Gilgamesh is not the active turn.
- Follow-Ups from “"Amuse Me to the Fullest"” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Gilgamesh’s off-turn damage.
- E0 without “I Am As You Behold” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Spamming “Gate of Babylon” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gilgamesh is often the SP sink.
Misha
- “G—Gonna Be Late!” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- “R—Room Service!” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Horological Escapement” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “G—Gonna Be Late!”, Misha spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- As a 4★ Destruction unit, Misha 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 “R—Room Service!” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Misha is often the SP sink.
