GAS = Nearly Invincible at 5*

SnakesOnAPlane

Caveat for GAS at 5* v 7*: The way his kit is designed it doesn’t really matter, as he is nearly invincible regardless. The difference from 5* to 7* is literally DPS. Sure, while hoarders will have him 7* R7, it’s just a matter of DPS to other Clones. And while we haven’t even seen if he truly is meta or not, in the short run, FATZ Jr and Echo boosted to R7, or high relics in general, will cover your DPS until GAS can carry the burden. Aside from the DPS difference, his kit is truly amazing and, as noted earlier, he can’t die easily, so 5* or 7* is really irrelevant for this character. Further, at 5*, his protection pool is lower, meaning he will jump back up from his Cover faster.

Now about those good and speedy Mk V mods that are gonna be hard to come by...

10% protection regain whether that max protection is 100k or 10k will take just as long to come out of cover either way. 100k prot vs 10k prot will take much longer to beat through though when he goes on advance again.

He is likely to still be a very strong character at 5* though.

Ultra

His protection pool is lower but he will jump out of cover the same time as it would take him at g13 r7, Its 10% of his protection at every turn

I think on offense, even at 5 stars, he will be meta and beat every other team but he will be quite easy to beat on defense (no 6 dot mods, 20 speed less since no g12+ and finisher)

With a low protection pool, he is also easier to put into cover which is bad for your team.

I think the biggest issue would be mirror matches where people who hoard GET1 have a leg up against those who don't but unlocked him

All this is conjecture. We'll have to see it in action if he lives up to the hype or not in a few hours

there are a lot of error here...

1. from 5* to 7* he his missing out on not only DPS, but health and potential protection are lower as well
2. lower protection means nothing when it comes to %regen. no matter if he has 10 protection or 10000000 protection it will only recover 10% per turn thus it will take 10 other characters turns before Gsky can go again.
3. Gsky can die way easier with a smaller health and protection pool at 5* gear 11 compared to a 7* gear 13 r7 Gsky
4. who is FATZ jr?
