I have a feeling she’s supposed to be the Jax of this game. A 1v1 master carry that doesn’t play very well with others.
(Look up Jax in LOL, I feel like that was Gbx’s intentions with her, but she’s just too utilitarian.)
it knocks her back and allows you to lay more damages on her before she gets back in which case do it again and if you need to run it gives you that room
No. The knock back only makes you lose on damage. It’s only good for fleeing.
I would agree until you play heal heavy teams and realizes she’s really your only counter to healing and a lot of BattleBorn characters to really don’t rely on healing to do there thing, you touched on what I’m saying though shes a new player crusher for sure but if you want the Pull you give up aoe heals if you want the cooldown for her bread an butter shild you give up your otherwound leaving no healing removal and if you take both you HAVE to make the opening fight count or your shafted for 15 secs if they realize stay out of currupt zone which is easy with its delay activate, and dont fight after she shields you or misses and is now in the thick of it with nothing.
remember I’m not saying she’s not strong but oscar mike in the right hands is better and will do more and pretty much outplay her every time. not to menchion if you stun her or more than one person turns on her un like most tank characters she has only on good engage and a pretty crummy escape when you play aganst her with a real team she has to go to deep for a kill and had pretty bad wave clear unless you go ranged great sword and or use up you r currption and she has to be in the thick of the minion to fight them if a orendi or a Oscar Mike aoe while shes tring to wave clear and one person ccs her shes dead.
okay if a melee character is further away from a ranged character and has to run straight at them to do damage who’s going to be doing more damage during that time. See? If you knock her back then lay into her while kiting back then do it again and agaion when she gets in close you have that fight on lock.
You’re right, 1v1 an Oscar Mike can beat Gal, you chase, he propels back, AoE’s on top of him, if he ults, gal ults, runs away, LoS’s, waits out her cooldown…if she hits her shield when it comes back up from range (cooldowns have come back up) OM is dead. If she misses, she’s probably dead. TBH, most of the time, this fight is a wash, I just go elsewhere after we’ve both burnt so much to try and kill each other. If Gal doesn’t run out of the AoE, yep, she’s dead. If she bones out and LoS’s…it’s a wash.
I would disagree with this l floor her with anyone I can kit her with inside an aoe affect : oscar mike, thorn, el dragon, ghalt,rath, and with well placed sun spots and ambra, and if you can return a stun with miko, or shyane that fight can totally be turned around
Shayne handles her pretty well now if she gets the drop. Slow leading in, get stuned, stun back, boomerangs for days with fleet foot movement speed to stay out of the corruption aoe.
You know how to play, most don’t yet. The rub is this, Gal still murders you because she’s got two levels on you, maybe more, and you can’t survive her combo+chase even correctly dumping damage into her while propelling yourself because she basically kills you while you’re still CC’d.
exactly my point if you know how to fight her it becomes either a fair fight or you flat win it verse her like I said shes good but I think she’s where she should be as a tank I think if you start taking stiff away she falls into underused, even though shes strong she only really strong 1v1, yes with help pretty good in a 2v3 but the fact that you can walk away from most of her stuff puts her out when you get to high level play.
Shanye can live, but not if she gets the drop with multiple teammates, he’s CC’d for four seconds and taking damage from multiple sources, that’s assuming JUST gal CC’s him, if there is a CC chain…rip.
I think her E just does too much. High level play, long team fight, she pops it, and cripples the ENTIRE TEAM. They can’t use abilities, they’re slowed, they’re taking more damage, AND they can’t heal. ONE, ABILITY.
Edit: That sounds like an ult, not a regular ability on a fairly long cooldown.
Well yeah, this was assuming a 1v1. With more teammates involved Gal goes down pretty fast now regardless unless people are totally clueless and Shayne would never bother closing the gap anyways, just straight stun from a distance and boomerang death.

that is true her first burst when she land that stun is God teir but you forget that like i said this is a team game when you get to that high tier play you can just keep eyes on her and iot pretty much counters steam roalling gal. think of it this way common people on a team… rath, ocar mike, montana, or a nother gel, if you just burn, stun ,knouck up or knock back the gel who went to hard for your teammates shes out currution and stun if she was trying to burst right, and has no escape where in she’s dead. greanted if you go in for those clucth turn arounds or fallow up with ther shes still god teir but remeber that includes a team coordinating that and alot of BattelBorns or God tier in the right set up. so i think shes fine but i do thin k other people should have wound so that she doesnt become nessisary whe nthe enevatable heal meta circles around
yes CC CHAIN NEEDS LOCKING AT i talked about it in the origanel post but thats not just with galilea thats with any cc chain that can happen
especially the dreaded multi-knock up from rath fallowed by ice wall with kelvin straight into blender while kelvin keeps you guys stuned with sublimate
I’d say she’s still S++ with some others being S+ in coordinated play with a deeper understanding of the game than those of us with open beta experience can muster. S tiers being above the point of balance. Time will tell thou.
ewww, Kelvin can do some N A S T Y things with that wall.
yeah SHE IS STRONG no arguing but its a manageable strong like Zeus from smite or rumble from LOL yes they can do crazy ■■■■ but you know what that crazy ■■■■ is and can plan for it.
that and something no ones talking about she has little to no wave clear and though scary no real map presence you can’t win off kills and simple strategy just send an orendi ocsar mike or thorn to her lane and let the just clear out minions and she will never get to them if they are playing right and while she struggles to clear her minions kill her or just harass her till she has to b and get the next wave in while or your team steam rolls the other side 4v whatever because she can’t get around like benadic, atticus, and bualder(dash), and montana ( dash) to be in every lane. so go zero sum in any lane shes in if your really scare (though I hope this helped you not be) let one of your teamates get super fed of enemy minions and dominate the other lane.
I’d say she’s strong like stun-zeus and Rumble 3ish years ago pre-nerf. Her wave clear is garbo, she can only do so safely when alone and with a friendly wave. (when that happens, her clear is fantastic, better than most ranged that are just basic’ing the wave) I enjoy the character, I certainly understand what you’re saying and think all your points are valid. I simply think she’s not balanced right now and is the strongest character in the game regardless of level of play.
