Gunther

(Updated 9/10/21)

Despite not being able to crit, he has a very high base attack. That means if you stack attack to 4000, his bleed stack will deal 30% of that, which is 1200 per tick.  With his passive that gives him bonus attack, its attainable with decent gear.

If you have an attack buffer, his base attack will improve and he hurts. He is terrible for PvE but will be okay in PvP, as bleeds are effective over time. Plus now, he has built in critical hit resistance and it improves his tankiness.

His third skill is a stun and can defense break for 2 turns! Also, he is now a strong counter against evasion units such as Violet, ML Violet, Mirsa and A. Cartuja etc. He is also a very good unit to use in Lilias cleave comps, as Lilias’s s3 deals damage based off of her ally with the highest ATK. Gunther would be guaranteed to be the unit with the highest ATK in the team, thus ensuring Lilias can do some immense damage with her s3.

Build Notes

Seeing as Gunther can’t land a critical hit, you’ll want to stack as much ATK on him as possible. This makes him one of the few units who actually benefits more on an Attack set more than Destruction. Gunther’s a bit more of a meme unit, so there’s no “one-size-fits-all” build for him, except to “stack on as much ATK as you can, and any other sets can be secondary.”

You’ll want to have at least 4500+ ATK on him by the time you’re done. It’s very easy to get more ATK for Gunther than that, however; so you’ll be seeing stats ranging from 5000 to all the way to 10,000 at the highest. (Getting 10,000 ATK is physically possible on Gunther, however it does take incredible gear quality.)

Notes: Most Gunthers don’t use any specific two-set gear on top of the Attack set; whichever Gear pieces has the highest ATK substats is what most people use. Hit Set is only recommended on this page because a 2-set is necessary for each build recommendation.
