= Overview =
Gabranth is a unique character who fills EX Gauge to quickly enter '''[[EX_(Dissidia_012)#EX_Mode|EX Mode]]'''. He is one of the weakest characters in the game outside EX Mode with slow movement and below average frame data. He is the only character in the game to have HP attacks that cannot deal HP damage. This forms the crux of his strategy: Build EX gauge with the distinct EX Charge HP attack while fending off the opponent, then unleash EX Mode at will.
Once in EX Mode, Gabranth becomes much stronger. High movement speed, bravery damage and '''[[Attack_Priority_(Dissidia_012)#Mid|mid priority]]''' are all more prominent. The universal benefits of EX have a causative effect too; Gabranth reaps the benefits of added critical hits, '''[[EX_(Dissidia_012)#Regen|health regen]]''' and assist gauge depletion more frequently over the course of a match. One of Gabranth's distinct strengths is his ability to survive significantly longer than most characters thanks to the health regen.
Gabranth's reliance on EX demands time and strong defensive fundamentals. He can struggle against effective rushdown due to his floaty air dodges and relatively slow EX gain between interactions. His HP attacks aren't very effective '''[https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Neutral neutral]''' tools, and '''[https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Mixup mixups]''' aren't best in class even in EX Mode. HP conversions require assist (and often '''[[Wall_Rush_(Dissidia_012_Final_Fantasy)|wall rush]]'''), which he cannot build very quickly. The relatively short uptime with EX mode also means Gabranth has a small window of opportunity to do what many characters can do without his constraints.
In competitive play, Gabranth has been ranked as a high tier and a mid tier character. His frequent access to EX mechanics is quite powerful against less aggressive playstyles, which can make him very difficult to defeat over time. If Gabranth is not afforded that time however, he can quickly fall apart. Players who can stand their ground will find a rewarding character with a unique twist on the game's meter economy.

Outside of EX Mode Gabranth only has access to EX Charge, which has a ground and an aerial version. The main difference between the two is that ground EX Charge takes 5.5 seconds (334F) to generate a full EX meter, while aerial EX Charge takes 8.3 seconds (500F).

This is the core of base Gabranth. He stands still while gradually filling EX gauge. Ground version of EX Charge fills the gauge in 5.5 seconds (334 frames). Using this move is the fastest way to reach max EX gauge without EX Cores, so prioritize using it whenever possible.
 
Gabranth is vulnerable to attacks during this state, but the recovery is short. He can cancel it into a dodge, block or another attack, be it EX Charge or bravery. Block and dodge are the fastest options, but both present their own risks to Gabranth. That being said, Gabranth can chain EX Charge (tap input) and dodge together to create more movement without waiting through the recovery animation.

''Charge EX Gauge by holding button. Cancelled when you touch the ground.''
 
Aerial version of EX Charge shares some traits with the grounded version, but few things are also different.
* Aerial EX Charge fills EX gauge slower. Reaching full gauge from empty takes 8.3 seconds (500 frames).
* Gabranth descends slowly during this state.
* Aerial EX Charge stops if Gabranth touches the ground. The recovery is the same as releasing the button.
 
If Gabranth activates EX Mode during this move, he will descend much faster, as per his EX Mode stats.
 
Just like the ground version, Gabranth can chain EX Charge (tap input) and dodge together to create more movement without waiting through the recovery animation. It doesn't build much EX gauge, but it can make it more difficult for opponents to hit Gabranth when used carefully.

Overview

Gabranth is a unique character who fills EX Gauge to quickly enter EX Mode. He is one of the weakest characters in the game outside EX Mode with slow movement and below average frame data. He is the only character in the game to have HP attacks that cannot deal HP damage. This forms the crux of his strategy: Build EX gauge with the distinct EX Charge HP attack while fending off the opponent, then unleash EX Mode at will.

Once in EX Mode, Gabranth becomes much stronger. High movement speed, bravery damage and mid priority are all more prominent. The universal benefits of EX have a causative effect too; Gabranth reaps the benefits of added critical hits, health regen and assist gauge depletion more frequently over the course of a match. One of Gabranth's distinct strengths is his ability to survive significantly longer than most characters thanks to the health regen.

Gabranth's reliance on EX demands time and strong defensive fundamentals. He can struggle against effective rushdown due to his floaty air dodges and relatively slow EX gain between interactions. His HP attacks aren't very effective neutral tools, and mixups aren't best in class even in EX Mode. HP conversions require assist (and often wall rush), which he cannot build very quickly. The relatively short uptime with EX mode also means Gabranth has a small window of opportunity to do what many characters can do without his constraints.

In competitive play, Gabranth has been ranked as a high tier and a mid tier character. His frequent access to EX mechanics is quite powerful against less aggressive playstyles, which can make him very difficult to defeat over time. If Gabranth is not afforded that time however, he can quickly fall apart. Players who can stand their ground will find a rewarding character with a unique twist on the game's meter economy.
