Weapon and artifacts, Gorou's build
Gorou is a character who is not made to inflict heavy damage with his build, but to take advantage of his rampage and his defense. So his weapon and artifacts need to focus on recharging his energy to help him take advantage of it.

If a banner created by Gorou is already present, it is destroyed. Moreover, if he uses his elemental skill he does not create a general's banner. Damage – 98,22% defense How to play Gorou?With his defense-oriented build, Gorou is very effective in a party made up mostly of Geo wielders. It greatly enhances their power, while allowing others to create very powerful elemental reactions. In this perspective, its Beastly Fangs: To Victory are a major plus. Inflicting some basic damage, they regularly offer enough to take advantage of an easy crystallization. If he is not very powerful in himself, Gorou is an excellent support in Geo teams. It doesn't shine particularly in exploration or fast combat, but its high defense makes it particularly tough in long-term confrontations. Elevation Materials
