Should you pull
How far to invest
Although Gavial's alter form is broadly considered a laneholder still, she ultimately plays very differently. This gives her a leg up in a meta where laneholders are little more than easy QoL types, however even that isn't enough to keep her at the top as the power ceiling continues to expand, and these days she's primarily a middle-tier utility pick. Much of that utility is tied to her S2, which is her primary skill and Mastery. It gives her good damage, range, and bulk on a very powerful cycle, but the pull is the real selling point of the skill. Although situational, it can be a great tool for stalling. Mastery doesn't affect that pull strength, but adds enough to the rest that it is well worth pursuing, albeit at a lower priority than many more modern Guards. If you want more use out of Gavial2, her S3 should be your next target. It has really high DPS, and the additional block count also means she can attack more targets. It will usually outperform S2 when it comes to damage, which meant that in older versions of this guide it was rather well graded. However, the HP mitigation is a lot less useful than the pull, and given how her meta role has declined significantly, it's re
