Why Galahad ranks where it does

Galahad is built around damage reduction and enemy debuffs — stronger there than 98% of the roster.

Pairs best with Defender, Geraint and Gustav. Defender's Heavenly Smite supplies the extra basic attacks; Galahad feeds on them. No lineup around this pair clears the era and composition gates.

Adds little alongside Hellfire, Immortal Guardian and King Arthur. both are tanks — the second adds little the first does not

  1. 2 Galahad, front rowPenthesilea, middle rowOliver, back row Galahad · Penthesilea · Oliver Current meta Beats 28 of 29 in battle 92.77/100 out of 100
    Galahad (X23), Penthesilea (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 92.77 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Galahad is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 127% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Penthesilea is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 106% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 366% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Galahad and Oliver both wait on; Penthesilea’s Hunting Domain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Penthesilea raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 60% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.
