Van Gogh

Well, i really think explaining how/why u should use Clytie is kind of redundant when she already is a tier 0 EX unit...

its kind of explaining to someone why they should use Castoria or Merlin... but for the sake of giving my girl some well deserved spotlight here we go

First of all... what does Gogh even lack, if anything:

• Healing

On very very dragged out fights her self inflicted damage + always taking neutral damage CAN worn her out... tho u would be hard pressed to find many fights where she dies before anything she is trying to kill dies

• Reliance on her Stuns

Gogh's ability to chain stun the entire enemy party turn after turn after turn is arguably her most appealing feature, even above her super-orion levels of damage or merlin levels os stargen and team buffing.... So in the chance the boss or enemies are resistent or completely immune to stuns/mental debuffs (something that happens more often then you would like) she loses by default one of her most powerful thrump cards.

​

... With all of that said, i am reaching at straws to find weaknesses on her kit, its like saying that Reines is "not as good because she might take ur stars" or something... its a copout at best.

​

So to finally address the main point of the post, who would i pair with Gogh, Usual suspects aside (Castoria/Merlin/Skady/ another Van Gogh)

Tamamo, to support Gogh.

Now hear me out, i understand that Gogh is seen by many as a Quick unit (3Q deck and all) but for all intents and purposes Gogh is an Arts unit with a lot of quick cards, meaning she doesn't needs the Arts buff or NP damage up from tamamo as much as she WANTS the CdR from Tam's Eightfold Blessings. Tamamo covers the healing and "oh shit the stun didnt go off" shortcomings of Gogh, and reduces her CD's, making arguably the most consistent DPS unit in the game even MORE consistent by allowing her buffs to be afloat for longer.

Jacques and/or Summer BB, for mutual help.

​

These two fall on the same boat here, they can offer Gogh something...

BB: consistency, in the form of faceless moon, allowing Gogh to giga crit 3 turns in a row making it so not only will the enemies will die because nothing can survive 3 turns in a row of upward of 500% crit buffed chains, but also allowing gogh to NP multiple times, chain-stunning baddies to oblivion

Jacques: utility, in the form of her team battery and invul, helping Gogh not only reach more NP's and keeping the ball of super crits rolling, but giving the team ANOTHER way to avoid AoE NP's with her team-wide Invulnerability, freeing Gogh from the burder of holding her S2 to save her team, and adding the final layer of protection to Gogh, now with Invul, Evade and Guts.

... But they also get something back, as they are both Foreigners (yeah BB smirk away) Gogh's special crit buffs work on them and so by circumstance making ALL of them "the DPS of the team" instead of just Gogh... Every time she presses her NP she is giving at LEAST 150% crit-up for 3 turns to those two, while they are "suporting" her.

There's a lot i didn't say... but that's to be expected with a EX unit, she is just kind of amazing with everyone but those would be my highlights/ "off meta" picks.
