Tier S1.0.x

Overview

Gley delivers some of the highest sustained boss damage in the game when piloted correctly. She sacrifices safety and comfort to push relentless damage uptime through HP-based mechanics.

Alternatives

MP Conversion

Safer variant if HP economy feels too punishing during progression; lowers ceiling but improves consistency.

Skill Expansion

Situational swap if AoE coverage is needed for add-heavy boss phases.

Build Variants by Progression

Low-investment DPS setup: stabilize HP pool first so Frenzy mechanics don't immediately self-delete you.

Additional Skill ATK when attacking Colossus

Gley reactors should aggressively push damage. Survivability is handled via HP pool and external healing, not reactor stats.

Rotation & Playstyle

Rotation

  1. 1.Enter Frenzy state at the start of the damage window
  2. 2.Maintain continuous skill pressure while managing HP
  3. 3.Reapply damage buffs on cooldown
  4. 4.Exit or stabilize only when HP reaches unsafe thresholds

Tips

  • 💡 Your HP bar is a resource, not a mistake meter.
  • 💡 Do not disengage early — Gley's value is uptime.
  • 💡 Coordinate with healers before committing to full Frenzy loops.
  • 💡 If you die often, fix HP economy before adding damage.

Scaling Notes

Gley scales exponentially once HP economy and cooldown discipline are solved. Damage uptime compounds over long boss fights.

Team Synergy

Pairs best with Yujin-style healers and tanks that stabilize boss targeting.

Known Issues

Mismanagement of HP or cooldowns results in sudden deaths; Gley is unforgiving by design.
