Fought my first Galilea post-beta

Fought her as a Rath, and my team got wrecked. I think she’s pretty balanced, because she was equal to kills with Thorn, with 12-13 kills. On our team, I had one less kill than our Montana, who led our team kill wise. So, first impression, she seems to be balanced to me. I killed her a few times, and I had more trouble getting after Thorn than her.

Lol I read that and thought you were gonna say she’s broken lol.

:). Wanted to play with expectations.

Just because she has the same amonut of kills as some other character doesn’t mean shes balanced.

I could go on and on about the serious issues involving this character. She’s above everyone. Ambra used to be at the top along side galilea until she got nerfed (balanced) since she was broken af for a lot of reasons.

Actually, scratch that. Thorn has 14 kills, 1 death. Galilea has 7 kills, 3 deaths (which is behind Marquis, with 8 kills, 1 death). She died the second most, with Shayne being last, at 9 deaths. First impression is good, havent fought another yet.

In other words, Thorn OP, need nerf.

You can’t make judgements like this off of one match. You have no idea the skill level of the people playing those characters which right now might be low since the game is new.

I know that, that’s why I kept saying first impression.

The only time a Galiea will ever perform bad, is the the Galiea is below level 5 in character rank.

Wait till she gets to 5 out-of-match and you meet one. You can at least somewhat fight Galiea below 5 by hoping she misses one of the easier stun to land (The hit box is stupidly huge. I hit it 70% of the time) and that she dives you for no reason and that she has no regen active so your shield pen can disable 60% of her damage. Most Galilea that I see feeding to me follows that noob-route.

HOWEVER, THe moment she unlocks that level 1 mutation where her desecrate pull, her only level 1 and 2 weakness are as good as gone. She no longer has to rely on shield stun to kill you. She just straight run at you, pop Desecrate, pull you in and throw the stun while you’re pulled so you can’t dodge it. My hit rate jumped to nearly 90% out of the 6 games I played with that desecrate abuse. It’s BS that this can also be added in with a silence and a slow so everyone in your team can WOMBO COMBO right after a single button.

No iv seen you on other topics lol she is balanced ambra isn’t balanced anymore she’s been nerfed harshly twice now and she’s one of the worse characters now not balanced

I main her and I don’t go with that mutation use its nice to pull people in but your giving up the best helix when you hit someone with your shield you get it back and reduces the throws cool down by 2. To counter the throw just run around in zig zag and unless they are good enough to predict where you’ll run to stun they’ll miss it and you are safe.

What? You might as well lose the shield and gain +17% damage later for more 100-0. That shield return on hit Helix isn’t even that good.

The pull is one of the best thing in the game. Why would you throw away something that can guarantee a stun or allow your AoE team to do a 5-man ult at choke point because you pressed a single button and preventing them from using any escape with the silence?

she is pretty broken in my team. Regen, with Aoe constant damage, tank with shield, hit hard as hell, with a range stun. She basically walking Fire.

So, based off of one game, one time, with one player she’s balanced?
I’m assuming that if you’re fighting her for the first time since beta that you haven’t been playing much, I would recommend waiting until you’ve played quite a few of them, you know, until they actually unlock her Helix items that make her such a problem, and then let us know how you feel :wink:

If you pull them and hit them with the shield then it’s right in front of you and you pick it up anyway. You only give up the cooldown.

Depending on the game mode and map ill switch between the 2 the pull is so nice but building around shield damage is so fun as well I like to mix it up sorry for the late response but yeah the pull is indeed the best but like I said I like to mess around with her helix depending on team comp and the game.

Like I said to the other guy I do like to mix and match at times depending on the game and stuff lol like when you have the final mutation if you do shield bash does 120 damage over 3 second of bleed damage youll always wont to have shield so the cooldown is nice to have and to have it returned and with the shield damage by 25% to go for a shield stun damage build is pretty fun to run and if you don’t have a team or a healer to back you up its always nice to have that 1k shield to block everything. At this point I just run different builds with her to mess around with to have fun since there isn’t a ranked or anything.
