Gley Is Massively Overrated
Gley has a pretty interesting and flashy kit that gets a lot of clicks on Youtube but after playing her for a while I think she is massively overrated. Lepic can easily out damage her.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yujin with Passionate Sponsor can out gun damage her in most Intercepts. In order for Gley to deal a lot of damage, she has to take a lot of damage in a lot of situations. Yujin can deal a lot damage while being at 100% health and healing his entire team to 100% health for the entire match.

Gleys DPS is Dependent on the Level of her weapons. Most Gleys Level up everything about her and neglect their weapons which is why they don't do damage

Simple explanation, You play with Bad Gleys. I can Dog Walk everyone up to Molten Fortress with My ULT Gley.

Are you suggesting the youtube videos are all fake and people are somehow editing it?

Cause otherwise you get what you see on said videos. She can melt bosses. That is what she is meant to do.

So does almost all builds you see on youtube videos, that is about it.

Do your purpose and heal, then. I'm more tired of glass cannons Gleys getting incapacitated more than doing damage. Putting the rest of the team at risk.
I honestly dunno why people insist in the idea that Gley is better with low HP, if not for just one module, and a EC set that give skill power bonus.
Anyway, is not worth the risk, if the team will loose time to DPS.
A Gley want to solo the risky build, by all means, play your game.

Yes lepic is skill power based , Gley is weapon based. So stuff like frostwalker who is weak to fire and has very bad skill def is gonna get owned by a lepic. Heck if you take Luna and pair her with freyna , even she can do it.

Gley is waay more versatile than Lepic though , lepic fails hard with mobs that have high skill defence or fire defence . Gley has no such weakness and has waay more effective hp than lepic

I think its because Gley is able to do things with no prep work and is just straight, "Imma Shoot you up", Lepic requires using a skill, rolling cancel and holding a button, and then aimming at the proper spots with that attack and hope to god the boss just doesn't quickly start walking away if you screw up the first shot, Yujin, again prep work, and Hailey requires you to activate a skill, get stacks and then aim for weakpoints, I think the only ones that work like Gley are , Enzo and Valby....however Enzo does outdamage Gley and he's uses little to no prep work during the fight, its just point and shoot for him. But Gley is much easier to build for, she's great for any of the bosses and its literally,activate ability and then PEW PEW until boss is dead. Its pretty simple.

Gley is just an upgrade to your weapon, so if you have a trash weapon, you won't get far with her.

+15% ATK frenzy
+6% ATK deadly predator module (full auto weapon)
+15% ATK maxed shot focus module (combining module)
+30% ATK maxed walking on tight rope module (50% or lower health)

3rd skill for at least 9-10 seconds. Combine that with 850k DPS 200+ round enduring legacy (40% crit hit/8x crit dmg) and you're good to go. I have seen other Gley builds using her 4th skill, but I went with "max your weapon" strategy.

I'm actually building gregs rifle for her, because from my understanding the ridiculous bombardment is per spec, otherwise devs would have nerfed it by now, so its actually worth building, the grind for 3 other gregs rifles is annoying though :/, Luckily I can use the same rifle with enzo who I am also working on.

This is my issue with gley. You have to invest both on her and her guns to actually see some returns in the amount of money and time you are investing in, meanwhile some characters can carry themselves on their skills alone, like viessa, bunny, valby, ajax, lepic and so on.

Im ok with this, because its the same for multiple characters, so working on one weapon actually future proofs you for other descendants now and those yet to be released. Take a look at Hailey, I had an amazing sniper made for my Viessa and Sharen builds, and I was able to seamlessly use it for Hailey to make the sniper boss build which is amazingly effective.

Gley just convert SMG to LMG, python passive is trash on own but good dps bot take aimmo so gley shines.

Lepic is easy too if you play FPS, most of time you when someone take the boss part then you ult with him, actually way better since you don't need 999 items to upgrade.

But personally I enjoy her since I can dps and can be tank if you have new team you gona revive a lot.

Im guessing your talking about mobbing because Valby and Ajax don't have AOE abilities effective against bosses that could out DPS just a gun that is built around certain traits, and as for Mobbing Gley also has a build that allows you to AOE spam and its quite effective.
