Damage reduction applies to her toggle shield health pool too, though, right? So DR on Gali is more useful than it seems just looking at her base health + recharging shield. As far as I understand it, this is also why Boldur is so stupid hard to kill (that and his ability to heal via shield after lvl 5.)
Being able to simply step in front of your healer and shield block that incoming Paradigm Shift, Bindleblast, Blade Launcher, Hawkeye volley or whatever is nice. Sure Kelvin and Attikus can just leap and eat it too, but itâs not trivial that Gali does so without taking damage.
TERRITORIAL TANK anyone? She is a powerfull tank inside her blight.
Before everyplace in the world was her territory and forced everyone in the area to join, now she hold her ground and punish those who dare to cross it.
You absolutely can stop all the attacks I mentioned (Blade Launcher, blast radius?) If youâre right on top of someone, yes theyâll be hit by splash etc, but people body block Hawkeye to save healers all the time.
edit: actually, you might be right about Paradigm Shift if it pierces. Gali is still great at stopping projectiles before they hit anyone is my main point!
Paradigm Shift probably goes through, youâre right. But Iâm not talking about literally standing in front of someone and trying to soak up the splash. I mean intercepting the projectile as it is coming
And thereâs a reason I didnât mention ae nukes like Wrath of the Wild
With marquis, gali took the direct hit, i was right behind inside the ult aoe.
Maybe i was a bit to the right/left and got in the splash, but thats my experiencia[quote=âEdenSophia, post:21, topic:1562344â]
Bindleblast

To be honest, I always assumed Bindleblast is just a stronger sniper shot because Iâve never played a game of Marquis
My point is that Galilea can intercept projectiles - including some ult projectiles and lethal Hawkeye volleys - to body block for healers and take no damage. This does save lives and is something that Attikus, say, doesnât do as well as her. This isnât such a controversial claim, is it?
It doesnât have to hit the shield for Gali to block it. She just has to be facing the attack. Her hitbox is the shield
That is right, isnât it? I mean you have me second guessing everything now. Iâve played hundreds of Gali matches and saved people by shield blocking random nonsense and now Iâm wondering if any of it ever happened

Personally Iâve messed with Galilea a bit since the nerfs, the only point that is kind of annoying is how slow her corruption gathers stacks.
Past that I run regen+regen, DR+regen and a free shard gen
At level 4 I took damage when it was in meltdown, but when I tried the damage reduction was I found it was a noticeable difference in the amount of control I had in my âzoneâ(as in while desecrate was up I was holding the line just fine)
Personally I walked into playing her with the mentality of a war of attrition, stay alive and whittle down the enemies until more allies can arrive to turn the tide.
Im miko and im behind gali while she is shielding oky? She is trying to protect me from om ranged attacks, all he has to do is move a bit to the right or the left and he will snipe my head without problems. Unless gali is in his face⌠And he should be slowed stuned and dead.
Only big bullets can get easily intersepted by gali, who is a thin character and her shield is not as big as i wish.
I always move around a lot as Gali to prevent this happening. I donât know. Maybe I just play a weird Mellka-Gali hybrid. Even stopping one or two Benedict rockets, Ghalt shells, or Marquis shots is difference between a dead or alive Miko, if you ask me.
Actually im making drama lol if im miko the bitch of gali im picking right lvl 2 to follow her because yes she can stop 1-2 random bullets but is not as impresive as barrierwatch i mean overwatch Reinhardt shield
