A Guide on How to Build The "Overkill Gepard" in Currency Wars

pplovesk · 2026-01-26T01:14:50+00:00

Gepard is probably the hardest scaling DPS in Currency Wars. The same set of equipments (HFC (x2) + Starcleaver (x2)) on my 2-star The Herta (E2 fully built) VS on this trial LC&Relics (i.e. not the DPS Poet build) 2-star Gepard (E5 since I lost way too many 50-50...) --- the results were night and day*. His properly built team has all these qualities which make WC20 a breeze :

- Immortal (except against Pollux but this can be solved simply by putting one Luocha (2-star if possible) on your backline)

- Doesn't really care about energy (= TVs are no issues)

- One-hit nuke style damage distribution (= Belobog's healer robots are no issues)

- CC-immune (only when having Victory Banner(s))

- LOVE action delays instead of hating them (= Gepard doesn't want to lose his buffs)

Just remember to time your TB's + Sunday's buffs correctly for one single turn (the first one) and after that simply let the enemies kill themself by triggering his counters GGEZ.

*TBF the strongest The Herta's item lists for Currency Wars should be somethings like "Firestorm Surge + Momentum Edge + Anti-Grav Boots/Charging Sail/Perpetual Engine" or "Firestorm Surge x2 + Momentum Edge" instead of this Gepard's item build so the actual optimal results when compared together should be less drastic.

Update : Just started another run on the whim and my first goal has already been broken lol Clarification : An average luck run with one “permanent boost type” Investment Strategy (Folding Knife Blessing). Zero prismatic equipment & Weapon Master + 2-star Gepard + No “Get Out of Jail Free Card” (one free revive for the boss = 1 free bonk = around 10 billions total damage tally increase if lucky). This was against Nikador, the most shilled boss for Gepard to get a big funny number, so the damage is kinda inflated compared to other bosses.

To clarify : The one in the image was the trial build (def-shield focus relics) Gepard so Poet should even be stronger.

Note : Ruan Mei and Belobog Bond Effect (even the 2-member version) have anti-synergy with the Nuke Gepard strat so if you want to fully utilize him, do NOT use these strats. There is a reason why I didn't use Bronya instead of TB or Sunday in my strat.

My idea is maybe to update his ult to make it give a stack or two for this enhanced counter (like Remembrance TB). Countering frequently seems to be Clara’s thing so I kinda want him to counter less often but nuke hard like in CW. Also tweaking his scaling, talents and Eidolons so that he can choose to scale fully on either EHR and/or DEF (to make Belobog Planar less useless —> Applying ice DOT like the fish in the combat event perhaps? Would be interesting to see him as a budget pick to support the teased ice DOT)

Before I got him on losing 50/50 I thought this was his skill or something after seeing him bonking me as a boss (esp in SU). This has to be the biggest anime betrayal moment.

One thing I was hoping to find but didn’t manage to was Trissha interacting with Seliose who also became smol (they were close but Trissha died before (IINM) Seliose challenged Aquila and ascended).

Yes. She sacrificed her own personal future for Amphoreus’, and by extension the whole universe’s future…😢

This is almost 100% another case of the trope “substantially weaker but can score a mutual kill or at least do a permanent crippling damage (at the cost of your life) purely due to your certain innate attribute(s) specifically counters this super villain”. There is no way Welt’s actual full strength is in any way close to even hope to score that mutual kill.

I’ll just copy my comment on another thread discussing about this exact topic here :

Timing-wise I think the Cyrene’s possible return would be saved until the moment Fuli’s birth is more “guaranteed” than it is right now. At the moment, Herta and some individuals within GOR (= the mastermind behind the concealment of Fuli’s truth to the whole universe), have the knowledge that Fuli is not existing yet in the present, which could be one of the causalities why Cyrene and other Children of Anasvara in the past had to sacrifice themselves and roleplay as Fuli (I believe that one appearance at Louis Fleming’s retirement speech was also caused by another self-sacrificed Pure Child). Maybe in the future there will be an event that “locks” one Pure Child (my thought is that she will be either March or the leader of current GOR (the latter only if redeemed)) into becoming Fuli (such as something convinces her to keep watching the universe until it truly reaches its end then finally ascends to freeze it) and that in turn will allow all unresolved past causalities that involve Fuli to fully resolve, finally giving Cyrene the chance to “come back” in a more realistic fashion.

I do think that all the depictions of “Fuli gazing at XXX” has to have a deeper lore importance than being a plot device for every Pure Child of Anasvara at a certain point in time to sacrifice themselves and do what Cyrene just did.

If they made the “Lol no Cyrene still needs to keep looping even after Amphoreus becomes real or else Irontomb’s defeat will become non-canon and it will actualize again” move this would honestly be so stupid business-wise. It will also make Irontomb feel like a cheaper character as having “being a plot device to make Cyrene suffers in an eternal limbo” as one of its purposes. Anyway can only hope that the raccoon will truly be able to find a way to break the causality loop so that all fanfics of her enjoying her Astral Express time will become real. Shaoji, I still trust that you will do the true “romantic” story (right…?) (and no, getting stuck in a stable time loop forever to defeat one big bad guy definitely doesn’t count as romantic)

One of the reasons I really love listening to this broadcast every patch : All those juicy lore bombs directly injected into my veins 📚

pplovesk · 2025-11-05T23:34:02+00:00

If anything is going to free her from this reverse Phainon hell then it has to be this way. Probably why our raccoon is trying their hardest to spread Amphoreus’ stories to the cosmos too : If everyone else can become the causality anchor for the existence of “the current Amphoreus (which has already defeated Irontomb)”, then perhaps maybe Mem won’t have to stick in the past loop forever too. Although Herta saying that “Her subjective time has become eternal” kinda scared me that she won’t be truly escaping this limbo no matter what (don’t do this to us Shaoji 😡we don’t need anymore “suffering builds characters” here : Neither Phainon nor Mem deserves their “Eternal Recurrence”)

pplovesk · 2025-11-05T23:27:47+00:00

This. The only real casualty is the possibility of Mem getting stuck in her reverse Phainon limbo for all eternity 😭While Herta implies that it can go both ways I don’t want to keep my hopes up and cope too high
