 Hey everyone, hope you're having a good start to your week and welcome back for more Exos Heroes content. In today's video we're going to talk about FC Garf, our hero profile, strengths and weaknesses, skills, playability, recommended garden stones, synergy with other heroes, overall rating and my final thoughts. But before that, if you want to see more Exos Heroes content, please hit the subscribe button down below. Let's try to take a look at Garf's profile, so she is a she in her FC form, so she hails from the nation of St. West, her element is light, her position is on defense and attack type is physical. And guess what, her race is she is a dwarf. This look for Garf is a bit subtle and it's a bit interesting because she poses like she doesn't really care about the world. So let's move on to her stats, her strengths and weaknesses. So as for Garf's strengths, so Garf has above average HP. She has above average defense and she also has above average block. She has an average hit, average dodge and average speed. These are good stats for a defender because this keeps her very flexible in most lineups. The only weakness that Garf has is her low attack, which in principle she doesn't really need that much because she's valued more as a protector and as a buffer of her team. So next is we move on to her skills. So let us take a look at Garf's passive. So Garf has protect 3 for her passive. She has breath of mana as well, so front row allies permanently gain 1 mana. She has command, so grants allies with lower maximum health than self with command mark and increase defense slash health by 20%, which is very big. That is why I will link this later in her recommended garden stones. And also for her FC form, she gains barrier of will. So triggers 70% more of her own maximum health. I wish this would stop, it's taken once, can't be removed, so reduces all receive damage including current damage from 50%. So anyway, barrier of will is the one that protects her. So for her, she is actually giving share health to the lowest HP member of your team. So while barrier of will protects her, decreases damage to her, she protects one member of your team as well. So and the good thing about Garf's passive is that she bumps up your defense and your HP. As long as you have less HP than her. So overall Garf's passive is very powerful, hard to pierce, especially if you have units that have gain health. Later I'll discuss more on the synergy with other heroes. Moving on to her S1. So her S1 has less damage for her FC versus her original form. It's only 187% damage but it has a damage over time with curse, dealing with 49% damage every turn for 6 turns, which is still very powerful. And her S2, so her S2 is unchanged from her original form. So deals 420% damage to all back row enemies. So to sum it up, if you have FC Garf and you compare her with the regular Garf. So there are very little differences in her kit. So for one, S1 is a bit bigger and FC has barrier of will. I think viral will give her a bit more tankiness, that is why for me I think if you have a chance to get her during the banner that is up right now, I think you should get her. And by the way guys, I would remind you to subscribe, please subscribe and push that button down below. As for Garf's playability, Garf is very good as your hero in your main PVP team. She or he is also good in your tag teams in PVP. So even if you have the regular Garf and FC Garf, they're both very good. So I would leave them out of your roster. She gives such a big bonus in terms of health and defense. For your PVE, she has been good as I played her in almost all the chapters. She is also good in your squadron battle because most of the time what you're using for your squadron battle is your PVP team. But she is actually very good as well in the holy dragon grounds because of barrier of will. Again, same with your PVP teams, she gives you 20% defense and 20% health to all of your members and share health with your squishiest team member for the holy dragon. That's why she is very good. If you have the opportunity to take her in your team, please do. She will carry you very far with holy dragon grounds. So as for Garf's recommended guardian stones, the only two stones that I would recommend are the first one is your nature set which is your green because for equipped set effects she will get plus 8 dodge or plus 20 and when you awaken her with your dodge or your green or your nature set effect, she will get plus 500 health or plus 2000 health plus dodge or plus 3 and plus 12. So the only stat that I think you should enhance with Garf because she has already a high block rate is her dodge and her HP, particularly her HP which comes to our next set which is fire. So for her equip set effects she will be given a total damage reduction of plus 5% plus 10 and plus 20 but the best part when you awaken her with the fire set is that she will be given either plus 750 plus 2250 or plus 5000 HP which complements her passive. That is why again play to her strengths because once she gets more health the more she could shield her teammates and the more she can absorb damage as well. As far as Garf is concerned in terms of synergy with other heroes. So number one Garf goes well with glass cannon heroes with heroes with less health because you can really pick from your team a hero that she will be guarding so she acts as your bodyguard. So the best combo right now which is very timely for this video is if you put Dorka in your team she guards Dorka because I think Dorka has the lowest health of your team members so you should check first if Dorka indeed has the lowest health because the synergy works well because Dorka heals her other teammates. So she heals Garf as well so it's a good combo that you should take note and probably use if you have both of them. So in any case Garf is very good in any hero that needs protection she is your ultimate bodyguard she is a big shield for me with a big lance so I think she works well with these characters on the screen obviously she has a good synergy with Rudley but again she works well with squishy characters so try to get her with the banner that's up right now. So again for Garf let's discuss her overall rating. So the rating system is the highest 5 the lowest is 1 so we'll start off with her stats. Stat wise Garf is a 4 because she doesn't have that much of a weakness she only has that one stat that she is low in attack. The rest of her skills are it's either she's on above average or average stat which is really good that is why I put her on a 4 because she's very solid. She is a great overall character with her stats and her skills complement it as well. The next is your playability so I would rate Garf as a 4 in terms of playability because she can be used almost in any part of the game any content of the game whether it be your chapters whether it be your squadron battle whether it be your challenges but she is very good in your dragon stage which is your holy dragon ground because she protects all of her teammates there and they are 10 there. So again her playability score is a 4. Next is her synergy with other heroes so Garf is you can't go wrong with Garf. She can be put in any team she can be she can be you know she doesn't have any requirements to be used that's it she is very versatile defender she is playable with anyone but she excels most with squishy characters that you have to pretend example there is Dork again so the other one could be probably be Rera or anyway but her her job solely is to guard your squishy character that is why for synergy you can't go wrong with her with a 5. So would you need her FC if you really have her well if you have her original form I don't think if you don't have the means to summon for her FC then you don't have to but if you can and if you have the means to summon for her fate core I think you should because Bayer of Ville is a big plus in terms of what she can give to your team her survivability and the survivability of your team so my last would be final thoughts for FC Garf so she goes well again with any team and again I would quote she's the perfect bodyguard for your squishiest character so the key to her is to increase her HP and give her constant heal and again try to work out that combo with Dork so guys well let me let me know what you think with this gameplay for Garf let me know if you like it or you dislike it please write it in the comments below and that concludes this video for today let me know what you think you all stay safe and I'll see you in the next video Warden out
