Strengths Weaknesses
  • Aerial combat - Solo combos, quick poke, gap closer, lightning fast HP attack and ranged tools, Gilgamesh performs well in the most common area of the game.
  • Mid range anti-zoning - Electrocute is great at checking opponents at a distance, rewarding combos on hit.
  • Random weapons - Extraordinary effects such as instant bravery break, weapon length and increased EX generation are applied the moment Gilgamesh draws one of his 8 swords, which can turn the tides in his favor on a moment's notice.
  • EX Mode - One of the strongest EX Bursts in the game, along with 8 wielded swords can exponentially increase Gilgamesh's reward on hit.
  • Fast faller - Whenever Gilgamesh air dodges, he is more difficult to hit out of it on average.
  • Ground combat - Slow running speed, average HP attacks and lackluster bravery attacks pale in comparison to Gilgamesh's fundamentally solid aerial moves.
  • Random weapons - Gilgamesh cannot control which sword comes out, and may have to fight with suboptimal effects when he wants it the least.
  • EX Revenge checkmates - With aerial Missile HP being slow on startup and the other single hit HPs being ground only, overcoming EX Revenge checkmates can be difficult.


Overview

Bravery Attacks

If Gilgamesh draws Masamune, the EX Force generation of an attack will increase. These values are listed after a slash to all sword attacks that take advantage of this trait.

Gilgamesh's mechanics

Gilgamesh can draw one of eight different swords whenever he attacks with a melee attack. Each sword has unique traits when used, such as weapon length, EX meter drain or different damage multipliers. All swords are drawn at random with a set probability for each sword.

The weapons' damage multiplier affects the attack's damage multiplier and not the final damage.

Weapon Drawing probability Reach Damage multiplier Effect
Excalibur 10 % 1.0 x1.0 Double damage with each hit.
Excalipoor 10 % 1.0 x1.0 1 damage with each hit.
Genji Blade 10 % 1.0 x0.75, round down to nearest integer, minimum = 1. EX gauge depletion, weaker damage *1
Zantetsuken 10 % 0.7 % x1.0 2 % chance to inflict bravery break. Won't gain stage bravery with break. Normal damage.
Naginata 15 % 1.5 x1.0 Longest reach. Normal damage.
Masamune 15 % 1.3 x0.75, round down to nearest integer, minimum = 1. Long reach. Produce more EX force on hit, weaker damage
Battle Axe 15 % 0.7 Random (x0.25 OR x1.75. Round down, min=1.) Short reach, random damage on each hit.
Chicken Knife 15 % 0.7 x1.0 - x2.2 (Scales with health. See table below.) Short reach, increased damage at lower health.
