Commander's Tactical Evaluation
Reviewed by Don“Gustav I is an Sx20 Footmen anti-basic-attack fortress. His Skill 8 (Favored by Fate) passively reduces all damage he takes by -35% and heals his squad every round (200% recovery rate). Skill 2 (Aligned Force) forces all enemies to target Gustav with normal attacks (80% chance), cutting the attacker's damage by -10% per hit (up to -50%) and completely shutting down any enemy squad's damage for the rest of the round once it hits him 5 times. Meanwhile, each normal attack taken builds +5% damage on Skill 5 (Uprising, up to 15 stacks / +75%), which erupts in round 5 for up to 800% AoE skill damage + 1-round teamwide Suppression across all 3 enemy squads.”
