Gyllad

Overview

Gyllad is an Epic Earth Melee Attacker from the Eldrin Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. He makes the target easier for everyone: Streaming Sun casts RES Down so debuffs land, Vicious Halberd casts Move SPD Down, Luster Wave casts Burn on a group, and Shining Dragoon deals more damage for every debuff on its target.

His damage scales from ATK. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Gyllad has 982 ATK, 640 DEF and 7,330 HP, with 23 Accuracy and 37 Mana Gen. Those are ordinary numbers for an Epic, so he needs a Tank and a healer.

RES Down is the most useful thing he brings. At 60% it lowers an enemy's RES, so the debuffs your teammates cast on the same target are more likely to land, and it matters most against Bosses with high RES. His Ultimate then moves debuffs from a teammate onto the enemy, which also clears them from your team, though landing them needs enough Accuracy.

Burn is part of his kit, so Bosses that are immune to it or take less damage from it are poor matches. He has no healing, Shields or crowd control.

Skills To Prioritize

Streaming Sun hits one enemy and casts RES Down: 30% for ten seconds at Level 1, 40% at Level 4, 50% at Level 8 and 60% for 14 seconds at Level 10, lasting 15 seconds at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 26 seconds to 22 at Level 10 and 20 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.

Shining Dragoon, his Ultimate, hits one enemy three times and transfers debuffs onto it on the first hit: one at Level 1, two at Level 4 and three at Level 9. It also deals more damage for each debuff on the target: 10% each at Level 1, 15% at Level 2, 20% at Level 6 and 25% at Level 10, with the cap rising from +50% to +75% at Level 3, +100% at Level 7 and +125% at Max Level. Its cost falls from 900 Mana to 850 at Level 8 and 800 at Max Level.

Luster Wave hits the nine lowest-HP enemies in an 8m semicircle and casts Burn. It's 1% of MAX HP per tick at Level 1 and 1.5% at Level 10, lasting six seconds at Level 1 and eight at Level 10, with the cap rising from 200% ATK to 350% at Level 10 and 400% at Max Level. The Burn also damages the target's allies within 6m for half as much. The cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 24 at Level 10 and 23 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.

Vicious Halberd hits one enemy and casts Move SPD Down: 15% for five seconds at Level 1, and 25% for seven seconds at Level 10, on a ten-second cooldown.

If you want Gyllad to help the whole team land its debuffs, upgrade Streaming Sun first, as Level 10 reaches 60% RES Down. If you want him to hit hard on a single target, upgrade Shining Dragoon first, as Level 9 transfers three debuffs and Max Level reaches +125% damage. If you want him to clear groups, upgrade Luster Wave first, as Level 10 reaches 1.5% per tick.

Build And Team Support

Build ATK and Accuracy to the maximum. He relies on Burn, so don't build Crit Rate or Crit DMG, as those rolls do nothing for the part of his damage that matters. Put Accuracy on your Chestplate and Flask and keep stacking it. Mana Gen on your Talisman gets him to Shining Dragoon sooner, and Skill RECOV on another piece brings back Streaming Sun.

For Relic Sets, Attack Relics raise the ATK his Burn cap scales from, and Accuracy Relics help RES Down and Burn land. Spark Relics add Skill SPD, which makes Burn tick more often, Mana Relics help him reach Shining Dragoon, and Fury Relics bring back Streaming Sun sooner. His native Fatigue and Nightmare Tolerances already match Wind Omnissi's Corruptions, so you don't need Tolerance sets there.

Pair him with a Tank and a healer, and with Invokers who cast debuffs, since each one adds to Shining Dragoon's bonus.

Arena, Bosses And Spires

In Arena, Streaming Sun lowers a key enemy's RES so your whole team's debuffs land, and Luster Wave spreads Burn across the front line. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or debuff cleansing, as they can wipe out the debuffs his Ultimate depends on.

Against Wind Omnissi, Gyllad is an excellent pick. His native Fatigue and Nightmare Tolerances match both of her Corruptions, and Vicious Halberd casts the Move SPD Down that fight asks for. Against Pentiax, his native Nightmare Tolerance covers one of Pentiax's Corruptions. Against Althar, his native Fatigue Tolerance covers one of Althar's Corruptions, and he casts Burn rather than the Bleed that fight forbids.

Several Bosses punish Burn. Fire Omnissi is immune to it and Sakiel takes half damage from it. Against Hyxxis, each Burn cast on her shortens Ensacment's cooldown by one second, so be careful with how often you cast Luster Wave.

Against Sedula, Streaming Sun's 60% RES Down helps your whole team land its debuffs against her high RES, and Luster Wave hits up to nine enemies, which helps clear her Tentacles. She takes 70% less damage from Burn, so treat Gyllad's Burn as a bonus there. Sedula changes Element every day, and Gyllad has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Wind.

In the Earth Spire, Luster Wave and his debuffs handle waves. Pair him with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Admiral Gladstone, a Legendary Earth Tank, casts DEF Down and Heal Reduction, Kandra, an Epic Earth Tank, casts Shields and heals, and Yusasa, an Epic Earth Support, heals and casts Regeneration.

Awaken

Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Gyllad's potential.

Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
