Hello, Commanders.
This week handbook will be easy to write, as it is not hard to explain how strong Galaxy Lord (GL) is. Tap decided to create a cross-attacker destroyer with 120% S-ATK (that I prefer to call modifier) and acc recover. That is strong, but not super crazy when you have all the reshape levels upgraded and when you have Jackie to lock his special, so he can’t fire every round. With only this ability GL would not be a must have, as he would not be a one shot killer in most of the cases, even considering that Destroyer can surpass the normal Def and S-DEF. So, how to create a must have Destroyer without making him a 100% one shot killer? Tap decided to give him a critical chance plunder ability, so he can release a critical hit in most of the cases, as even when he fires at only one enemy he can take 40% of the enemy’s critical chance to himself and that added to his natural high critical chance makes him a very dangerous killer. So, how to counter a one shot cross attacker killer? We used to have some options like using stasis shield, Kate’s and Sturdy’s shield to invalidate attacks, use Rakasha’s damage reduction to tank for the team, Caroline’s dodge, Brian’s block and other kind of buffs… but, well, GL laughts against buffs. GL can clear all the positive buffs from the enemies before he hits them. That is crazy!!!!
To add things up, Tap create a Destroyer with recover acc, high critical, high hit rate, he can plunder critical and high critical attack, so he is perfect, right? Well, he has some limitations. The most obvious one is that he can have his special blocked by Jackie. Another not so obvious is that his TS doesn’t have penetration, so he is blocked a lot against enemies with high block (normally rangers and protectors). The third biggest “counter” to GL is the new galactonite Shield, that reduces the critical damage; if your team is high upgraded it may survive even a GL’s critical.
A strategy I try to use against GL is to put only one commander with very high anticritical in his fire line, so even when he plunders 40% critical chance I still have a good chance to not take a critical. This is not a safe strategy, but still a valid strategy.
Well, I think it is a consensus that GL is a very strong Destroyer, but I’d like to read even more feedback about him. Do you already own him? Are you planning to use buy him? Are you having trouble against him? Do you have any good strategy to counter him? Let’s discuss about this crazy Destroyer.
See you in the Galaxy!
