His ult also melts people
Iâm sorry if I was being mean I donât mean to be
Sheâs just one of my favorite characters to play as and against because she is a challenge and has to be fought different
Well, yeah, Galileaâs defense comes from her shield though. I believe Galilea starts out with <1000 health if I remember correctly? She can also get ~800 healing on her desecrate field and ~400-600 on her abyssal form. Sheâs not really a tank in the sense of raw health.
Maybe itâd be more accurate to say that El Dragon is squishy at low levels. I believe heâs getting a small nerf to his DPS though, so thatâs something.
He needs it if he can melt people like Boulder who is meant to be the tank of tanks but canât kill anyone lol

I still think this guy is trolling, or just not playing at a high enough level yet. This is my experience with Galilea.
First of all Iâve never used her so maybe I shouldnât talk, bur I have seen her played a lot to know what happens. I am almost always playing in a team setting with 4 skilled players, our galilea (if we have one) gets consistently 20 kills per match. Thatâs not the same person using her, just the same type of skill in player. I have never seen someone not do well with her, except people who arenât familiar with the game and just rush to their death. I have teammates who are literally at no shield, half HP, and still pushing with Galilea (no healer around) because they know they will be able to escape. When you have good teammates as well, since you are a tank, if your allies are worth anything they will step in when need be and help you retreat, all you need to do is throw up that shield and now you need to flank her.
Iâve even tried head shots with Marquis, because you can see her head behind the shield from straight on. Doesnât work. You either need splash damage or to flank.
Iâm not trolling and Iâve been playing matches with 4 others all around my level (lvl20-40s) and we fought a team of enemyâs all around our level they even had a dude that was lvl54 as their Galilea heâs obviously had time and skill with that character and had her second to last skin
But I dominated her with rath
Kite kite kite
Crossblade to annoy
Make her waste her shield pop my ult and sheâs dead
Iâve fought good Galileas the guy was good he just never touched me with the shield
I avoided his aoe circles and when I went in to damage I would use crossblade a after to recover lost health and use his second for knock up no troll just my opinion
And it may be because you havenât played her so you havenât seen her weaknesses yet
Question: How long is Galilea able to stun someone?
Because I really think 2 seconds should be the max stun time. For some characters maybe even 1 second. I mean, Kelvin has a stun move which is SO easy to hit, but he has to time it very precise to actually be able to attack the person while he is still stunned.
The only way youâd ever have this seriously looked at is if there were a 1v1 arena. In a 5v5 mode - itâs about team tactics. If you happen to face any melee class and let them get in first, likely hood is your dead. Same can be said about many others characters.
You would have to have leader boards dominated by one class to prove it. As such, I think she is well balanced, itâs down to the people playing. For example, 1v1 in CoD - good players will F**K you up every time, and with any load out.
Ultimately, good players will win you over. 1v1 is a whole game in itself. No different to any PvP game.

Thank you for seeing it the way I see it lol everyone thinks sheâs way too out of balance but itâs just team play
She has a 2 second stun like all other stuns I believe
When her desecrate field pulls
you towards her, kiting isnât exactly the easiest thing to do at that point.
But if youâre never in it to begin with how is that hard to stop?
If you arenât in the circle it doesnât pull you so stay out of her reach
Most characters are naturally faster then she is do its not hard to run out before its dropped
itâs a pretty big area and she can pop it whenever she wants to pop it. Not exactly an easy thing to just predict.
The fact of the matter is sheâs getting a nerf, GBX will do what they believe is necessary and if you donât enjoy her after it then sheâs not the character for you. Thereâs clearly a problem if so many people have complained.
Itâs not the skill required that leads to nerfs, itâs the potential of the character in relation to the potential of the other characters.
You keep saying to kite her, but what happens if she decides not to use her shield and bash you without it to begin with? are you going to kite and fight at the same time leaving you doing two things at once while all she has to do is attack and follow, giving her a clear advantage? and when you do decide that kiting and fighting isnât ideal and you realise you need to focus more on hitting her youâre now a sitting duck for her shield toss, because at melee range itâs pretty hard to miss. Unfortunately you canât just say âdo this, this is how you beat them cause I did it to someone playing them once and it workedâ because strategies change, people learn and if the potential of a character is greater than most others then when everyones at the same skill level the character potential is all that matters.
With that said. If youâre spending your time trying to bait her shield toss and sheâs wise enough, she has the ability to attack you at long distance while youâre jumping around like an idiot waiting for something she wonât throw at you until she knows she can hit you, because she knows if that move hits youâre dead and you canât jump and dodge her energy blasts forever.

Im this close to locking this.
Discuss like adults, or simply donât.
One and only warning.
preach
Iâve lately been playing games against her and she seems fine like every other character in my eyes
She needs to have a little lower attack speed because the mutation can make it too much but other then that idk what else you could do to nerf her that would be fair
What would you guys propose
From what I understand it sounds like Galileaâs helix is too versatile more than she is too strong. Strategies that work well on certain Helix builds are at least checked by running different ones. While unpredictability is true to a certain degree with every character it is more exaggerated with her. How you deal with a Montana is basically set in stone from level 4 when he picks between running hail or fire. He can buff himself to be tougher or more dangerous from that point but nothing really changes with the approach for or against him for the rest of the match. But Galilea picks up gamechangers just about every other level. So even if we consider that at no point they are objectively stronger than one another in terms of stats, Galilea still has the advantage that she can pull out surprising maneuvers every couple skirmishes within a match.
And how well you can deal with her may depend on the builds people are running in relation to your characterâs skillset, and even gamemode, regardless of yours or their skill at gaming. It is entirely possible youâre just not playing against the Galileas that counter you, or that these are players are jumping on the bandwagon and donât really understand what breaks her in terms of skills or which counter your team best. She has a lot going for her on paper and numerically, I would be very surprised if she didnât turn out to be stronger than she needs to be.
Not to say that I think versatility is inherently OP. Nor would I say sheâs OP in the same sense that gear stacking was in the CCT, but she is a little farther above the power curve than she needs to be.
Dangerous to go alone I think is the biggest problem in the tree. It grants a huge damage bonus at short range, is a powerful ranged attack with some speed buffs. And its drawback isnât a drawback because she can heal up that lost health fairly easily, protect them well with her greatshield, and if you broke her health before she could make good use out of it she was probably going to lose that fight even if it kept working right until death. And itâs not like sheâs making a huge tradeoff for it either. I wouldnât know what to do with it though, Iâve studied this game more than played it, but it sounds like range is her weakness. Dangerous is meant to help compensate for that weakness, but overdoes it. And without it she might be too easy to play around even more than Boldur who seems to struggle with that same problem. Maybe take a bit of its damage off, and reduce her attack speed boost. It keeps her unpredictability and shouldnât cripple her. Maybe even redesign the skill so it helps her close gaps, a slow or brief stun on hit, but deals very little damage.
Lads, donât fall for vdhump. I remember all to well many occassion, when average or worse players hoped for keeping a broken class/character inside a PvP game in order to not fall short due to their lack of skills, capability and observance.
Itâs just too typical.

I donât lack any skill as a said she isnât the only character I play.
Iâm pretty sure I have skill when I dominate most matches with any character I use even Boulder lmao
Iâm saying that I personally donât think she needs to get hit with the nerf bat as hard as people say because
People fight her the wrong way and complain about their shortcomings because they canât fight her in a 1v1 in Melee combat fight
You arenât supposed to fight her like that.
Sheâs meant to use coordination to take her out
Im trying to get other peopleâs opinions because of this I donât want to see her get nerfed as hard as ambra will because Galilea doesnât deserve it
As I said before a slight nerf would be fine in either attack speed or damage output or shorten the stun to 1 second but either then those things she doesnât need to have her field reduce damage or be smaller like Iâve heard
Or have her get a new passive since its âbrokenâ
I agree 100% that she shouldnât get a huge nerf as most people are trying to 1v1 her in melee range and expecting to win. Her huge damage comes from the staying in her puddle and her mutation that shoots beams while she is at max health. Just nerf her stun duration and lower her attack damage slightly as that will make her early game worse and allow her to be more of a late game character. Again anyone that is faster and has range can beat her without much problem in a 1v1 as long as they donât stay and try to fight in her pool.
I forgot to mention to put her attack speed mutation higher on the helix to add more to that late game powerhouse feel.
