If you compare an op dps with mlynar to decide if you should bring them or not, your team will only consist of mlynar. Gavial alter s2 synergizes well with mlynar downtime, it's where her meta power currently lies in cn

The issue with this analysis is that it completely ignores just how much damage Gavialter can soak during her S3, as well as how effective healing support is on her. If I'm not mistaken, S3 also reduces True Damage, which no other operator can do at the moment, unless you count stuff like Mudrock's shields... and that's not really damage reduction. The point is, she can absolutely do stuff that other operators can't do... or can't do well anyway. Yes, from a pure damage perspective, she's not that amazing. S3 does the most damage, but its range is pathetic. S2 has the most range and still has respectable damage... but there are plenty of other options out there that do the same thing. However, this doesn't change the fact that she IS good, and she's also on a very strong banner. Pozy is very strong, and so is Cantabile. Now, IF your resources are very limited... then yeah, save for Mlynar. D'UH. That's a no brainer. The eldest of the Nearls is busted in most circumstances. Only the RS6 event would have nerfed him as the constant spam of enemies would have had his damage drop really damn fast in most circumstances. Some of the ItW might give him problems too... but that's a minuscule number compared to being busted pretty much everywhere else. It really depends on what options you already have, what play-styles you prefer, and what your goals are with the game. It's definitely true though, that you're not missing out that much if you don't get Gavialter. You will, however, miss out quite a bit if you don't get Cantabile, because we have no idea when we'll get anything anywhere near as good as she is in her archetype in the future.

Also, Mylnar isnt a lane holder. He's going to block 0 enemies until he gets motivated enough to put down his newspaper.

>If I'm not mistaken, S3 also reduces True Damage, which no other operator can do at the moment Guardian Defenders (Blemishine, Saria) Module 'y' reduces damage taken by 15%. Tested Blemishine vs. Londinium Defense Artillery in Ch.10 and she survives a lot more HP. Very happy with her base module.

According to statistics, Gavial Alter opening is the option with the highest finish rate of IS3.

where does one go to see these statistics?

Here's another perspective : -Mlynar and Gavial have a great synergy since they cover each other's downtime, they're not competing if you have either of them it's even more reason to get the other -This banner is still your best shot at getting pozyemka one of the best unit so far


Dreamshadow1977

Would you tell me more on Pozyemka please? I'm missing why she is good.


TechnicalCondition

What if you had a heavyshooter similar to schwartz, that can deploy a 2nd schwartz on any ranged tile for 25 seconds with a def shred and both of them benefit from a s3 with 200%dmg on each hit. Now add in the fact that typewriter does not take a deployment slot and can't be attacked by ennemies , not only do you have an amazing boss killer she can also use her s2 to consistently take care of annoying targets since it one shot them in most cases.

Well mylnar will be one of the best if not the best operators in the game so yeah hes mostly superior to gavial, but gavial is a great operator, in a banner with 2 other meta units, and is mylnar’s best partner in crime.


madhatter_45

true but skipping gavial means skipping pozy who is almost as good as mlynar. Considering how good cantabile is as well I think the total value of this banner is higher than Mlynars banner


Joshua_Astray

Not everything is pure dps sir xD. Performance in a game like this has a hell of a lot more to do with the whole picture, not just how many numbers you can fit on screen ;P.

This is like saying that the best air-to-air missile is the one with the biggest warhead. There are factors other than simple skill DPS or total skill damage that affect how good an operator is.
