Gerbera is the worst Breaker. Change my mind.

[AnemoneMeer]

Any mobility it gives can be gained with proper Calibur/High Roller/Payline use. Its attack is just Overture But Bad. the ground laser gives almost no style and is finnicky to aim, and the air shotgun is actually good.

I have legitimately stopped using it entirely by mission 3 and am on NG+ now and have never ran into a situation where the words "I wish I had Gerbera" crossed my mind.

Gerbera helped me a lot during the Prologue fight, without I'd probably still be trying to get the "Well I'll be damned" trophy. It's nice to have that extra dodge against Urizen's fireballs. It's not necessary of course, you can dodge perfectly fine with any other method the game provides. I use this particular arm mostly for boss fights anyway, rarely during trash fights.

Uh, yeah... I'm not a fan either. It's particularly weird that to aim, you have to use the left stick and worse of all, if you have the camera controls inverted, the aim on that thing is inverted as well, so that's quite awkward.

The dodge-like ability seems to be its only redeeming point and even that is situational when the actual dodge skills are far more useful in actual combat situations where you gotta keep your combo going.

[Elanapoeia]

it's a 'crutch' for newer players. It gives people a dedicated dodge button and that is something many want. Not every arm has to be pro-player viable.

[Seizure Storm]

imo Gerbera only really shines for bosses.

Edit: The air hold B also nets a lot of style points and does a lot of damage

[Griever]

When I got Gerbera I was like "What is this ♥♥♥♥"?
Base attack sucks and the big laser canon feels like a cheap way to hit enemies. Might be handy to kill a bunch of low level NPCs other than that it's a noob move.

[Mystokai]

You use Gerbera for Utility... I thought it was obvious enough?

I would say Gerbera is among the better Breakers,
since there are some actually bad Breakers...
or I just havent found a real use for them...

[Kennyboi]

You don't need gerbera as dodge. You can always dodge on the ground and you can use the taunt button as dodge while in the air. With that being said, I think it's ability is quite stylish. I prefer the dlc gerbera though, which can lauch you to the air vertically and also to the ground. The most useless devil arm is buster, imo

[Bejo]

Dodging with gerbera is fun, and the petal fire is fun too

[Forgot7en]

You're absolutely right, OP, it's pretty bad.
Because Gerbera GP01 is infinitely better.

[Over_East]

I thought Megaman Buster were the most under utizlied one. The breaker felt weak and just not that interesting to play and combo with. At least Gerbera can increase air combo if you know the timing correctly.

[Deformerad Dallarydsbo]

It's good for some bosses but yeah there are better options
