Gallagher Build Guide

Introduction

• Gallagher is a versatile character, commonly used in break teams.
• The focus is on his optimal build to maximize effectiveness.

Build Requirements

• Light Cone: S 5 Multiplication (3-star, from Wishing)
• Speed Requirement: 147 speed or 137 with Ronmeimei at talent level 10.
• Relic Sets:
  • 2-piece Bonwak (mandatory)
  • Recommended: 2-piece Messenger and any 2-piece break set or Passerby.
• Relic Stats:
  • Outgoing Healing Body
  • Speed Boots
  • HP or Defense Orb
  • Energy Regen Rope

How the Build Works

• Turn Generation:
  • Allows Gallagher to take 4 turns during the first cycle of MOC or within the first 150 action points.
  • Generates 4 skill points, making him the most SP-positive character in the game.
• Speed Advantage:
  • At 147 speed, Gallagher can act before high-speed enemies/allies (e.g., 245 speed).
  • Multiplication allows for continued action and procs off enhanced basics.

Team Dynamics

• Skill Point Generation:
  • Vital for characters like Firefly (needs to use enhanced skill every turn) and HMC (requires skill for damage and energy).
  • More skill points allow characters like Pella to use skills more frequently, enhancing rotations.
• Toughness Damage:
  • Gallagher can output significant toughness damage (80 to 120 with Ronmeimei) to a single target.
  • Supports break-focused hyper carries (e.g., Boothill, Barth Fly) by making it easier to break enemies.
• Debuff Management:
  • Applies Basada debuff, increasing break damage received by enemies (12% at talent level 10).
  • Ensures high uptime on the debuff through frequent ults.

Additional Advantages

• Team Healing:
  • Allies attacking besotted enemies recover HP.
  • His enhanced basic attack provides team-wide heals more frequently.

Achieving the Build

• Speed Calculation:
  • Base speed: 98
  • Speed boots bring it to 123, 2-piece Messenger increases it to ~129.
  • 137 speed needed with Ronmeimei, achievable with high-speed substats.
  • Requires 8-10 speed substats to hit 147 speed without Ronmeimei.
• Relics and Substats:
  • Prioritize speed until reaching the required speed, then focus on break effect, HP%, and defense%.
  • Effect resistance is beneficial for survivability.

Gameplay Tips

• Ultimate Timing:
  • Always ult immediately after a basic or skill for optimal action point usage.
• Energy Management:
  • Aim for at least 86 energy for the next basic attack to enable an ult.
  • If below 86 but above 73, use skill to fill the ult completely.
• Downsides:
  • Prioritizing speed can reduce break effect rolls and personal super break damage.
  • Allies often compensate for this issue, especially with HMC providing break effects.

Example Build

• Personal Gallagher Build:
  • Level talents to 8 or 9.
  • Focus on major traces and optional minor traces.
  • Limited resource demands due to the 3-star light cone.

Conclusion

• Gallagher remains a viable option even with the introduction of new characters.
• Building him is not mandatory, but he adds significant value to break teams.
