*DISCLAIMER* DO NOT blindly look at the overall rating for your decisions. Some Units gets higher rating because of purely PvP or purely PvE. For example, Ronan and Ryan. Ronan has higher overall rating, but he only excels in PvP, whereas Ryan excels in Adventure. Be sure to check properly which content they are good for before judging.

Remarks
Recommended Units
Reasons
Recommended Sets
Lass
High burst dmg + Low cooldown + Less SP cost + Good debuff ultimate + Useful in all content (Lass is basically a must to get even in KR server at the moment)
Red set for tier 5-7 . But later change to Orange set for tier 8-10 (Raid world 2 or higher)
Ryan
Tanky + Self Heal + Transfer dmg taken from teammates to himself + Self revive Downside : He is easy to counter in PvP with Cleo (Ryan is a PvE tank god until Jin comes)
Blue set to make him even tankier
Mari
Great mob clearing + Robot can tank Downside : She is only great on clearing mobs . Her auto atk is pretty mediocre against single target boss like those in D.Beast (Better than Ras El but is outshined by Ley later on)
Green set to make her clear mobs even faster
*Credits to Kiu (레비아 x 큐 x 소마#4444) for the recommendations *Recommendations are for GC-Asia *Top to Bottom : Most Priority to Least Priority *This list is dated July 8th, 2018
*Recommended Unit(s) may vary at all times
SR
Tanky + Has good buff + Invincible Downside : Long cooldown on skills . Less effective than Ryan in PvE (Great for PvP Defense or against Burst type of bosses like one boss in D.Crack)
Blue set for tankiness
Sieghart
Tanky + Annoying debuff + Annoying CC Downside : Not good in PvE . Better not use him in PvE at all . Elesis will be your buffer Assault later on (Great for PvP Defense)
Blue set for tankiness
Arme
Great burst + AoE slow Downside : Too long CD + Cost too much SP on meteor + Auto attack has too long animation . Better pick Mari than Arme (Great for DPS quest or when you need to burst dmg)
Red set for more crit chance + Maximize every 50s . But later change to Orange set for even more crit chance and skill dmg
Olivia
OP Passive + OP Ultimate Downside : Skill 2 has less chance to increase the star pattern . Low skill dmg . No gathering skill
Green set for more AS = Faster passive
Ronan
S
Bergamot
Great mob clearing thanks to passive Downside : Less single-target focus (Still the best Archer for S rank till now on KR)
Green set for more AS
Sage
Healing burst + SP regen buff that surpasses even Amy who is SS(SR) + SP regen from passive Downside : skill 2 is not that useful (Best PvE healer for S rank. More SP means more skill spam and faster mana gaining to use ultimate)
Green set for more SP regen from passive
Ras El
Great mob clearing thanks to passive + Summoning can somewhat tank Downside : Same as Mari , has mediocre dmg against single target (Still the best S Mage if you dont have Mari)
Green set for faster mob clearing
Captain Boar
Silence that also push enemies + Buff ally + 30% DR passive Downside : No gather skill (Great on PvP defense even till now on KR)
Blue set for tankiness and CDR
Cleo
Great great 1SP Dispel skill that remove enemy's buff and permanently prevent enemies from taking buff until they walk out of effect's area or enemies breaking the staff (Great on PvP attack against buff stacker team) (SS/SR character - Rin will replace her spot in the future though)
Blue set so she wont die too fast from enemy's attack
Charon
Great single target DPS Downside : Not that great to fight against huge wave of mobs (Best auto attack single target DPS for S rank . Great on D.Beast)
Green set for more AS
Hanout
Annoying AoE slow + Annoying AoE stun Downside : Just good for PvP Defense only (Good for PvP Defense)
Blue set for tankiness
Sachi
Good in PvP defense thanks to Cleanse and Revive on passive Downside : No SP regen buff at all . Good ultimate but it doesnt reduce skill SP cost so its not that useful
Red set for crit healing or Blue set to make her harder to be killed in PvP

3 phases of mob rush, and 1 boss phase. There are a total of 4 unit symbols, 1 at each direction. Head over to one of those symbols to deny that wave of mobs to spawn, and get certain buffs. If none is denied, the phase will spawn all 4 waves. During the boss phase, Bergamot will spawn at the bottom right. Just rush over to him and DPS him quickly to avoid fighting the other enemies Boss fight. Relatively easy. Avoid the breath if you are unable to outheal/tank it. Recommend having 1 or 2 units with AoE to quickly kill the mobs that spawn on the left or right or both sides occasionally. If the mobs touches the boss, it will buff and heal the boss. https://media.discordapp. There are 4 shrines in this map, Offence, Defence, Regeneration and net/attachments/429702387138166795/4297041 Cooldown. Destroying each of those shrine will weaken the boss 20396546048/Raid_Boss_Map_4.2.png? attribute based on which shrine you destroyed. Destroying shine width=637&height=679 [19] also raises the time limit left. If challenging 2minutes and 30seconds mission, just go via the edge and you will reach the boss at top right. A straightforward stage. It is similar to PvP, except the player has to fight 3 phases of a PvP team in a row. If failed to kill within the time limit, Sage will help out in the fight, and she is invulnerable. Just ignore her and quickly finish up. The timer and Sage will reset for each phase. Sort of a Tower Defense s tage.Protect the 5 NPCs as they focus on gathering energy against the wave of mobs. Keep track of the NPCs health on the top of the screen. It is recommended to NOT bring a tank as the 5 NPCs will aggro most of the mobs. Bring a healer just in case, and 3 other DPS. You can ignore the goblin catapults at the top right of the map if you cannot DPS fast enough. 3 phases of boss fight. The first boss, Poseidon, has 2 notable attacks, Laser beam and AoE Ripple on the ground. Try luring Poseidon to a corner of the map, and keep her around there, as the Ripple stays on the ground forever, which will hinder your other phases of the boss fight. You will also receive a Frost Debuff throughout the fight.
Clear with 0 deaths
1-7
Clear within 6 minutes Eliminate the boss within 1 minute 50 seconds Clear with 3 or less party members Use hero skills 40 times or less
The next boss phase, Balzac, also has 2 notable attacks, Fiery Tornado, and a full map AoE Attack. Dodge the tornado when you see him charging for it, if you can't tank or heal enough. THe Frost Debuff you got from Poseidon phase will reduce in stacks over time, and if the stacks get to a low number or gone, you will receive burn DoT, so kill this boss ASAP.
The last boss phase, Beliel, has 3 notable attacks, tornado (similar to Balzac), laser, and suction spin. Watch out for the tornado.

*Recommended Unit(s): Amy / Sage for SP Generation, Lire / Lass / Rufus for (AoE) DPS, Elesis / Sieghart / Ryan for Gathering Boss Fight with 3 Major attack patterns to lookout for: 1. Charged Rush (Charged Attack ) When the boss starts charging, players will be able to see a red line (rectangle) that shows which direction the boss will be charging. Avoid this at all cost if you have low TAP, as this deals an insane amount of DPS to your team. Boss will be stunned on wall collision 2. Spit Fall (Star Fall) Boss will spit out bullets, which will fall on to the field over time. There will be light blue marks to show where it will fall, so players can easily avoid it. 3. Golem Creation (Summons) 2 phases of Golem Creation at around 2/3 and 1/3 of the boss HP. The boss will initiate this skill by roaring, which will push the players' units back, and then fly up to the sky. After a while, golems will drop down. The 1st phase will have 6 golems, while the 2nd phase will have 8 golems. Players will need to quickly take them out, as they will inflict a stackable debuff (Curse of the Temple Guardian) over time during the phases. The longer the player take to finish the mobs, the more stacks of debuff will be applied. Once the mobs are cleared, the boss will then dropped down, signified by a huge red AoE marking. Stand at the edges of the map to avoid.
2-1
*Curse of the Temple Guardian* (Debuff ) This debuff will cause a Physical Damage over Time (DoT) to all units. The more the debuff stacks, the more damage it will deal over time. It is advisable for players to save their SP for gathering + AoE Skills prior to the Golem Creation skill to quickly take them out to prevent more debuff stacks. Cannot be cleanse.

*Recommended Unit(s): Lass / Olivia for debuff on Molly, Lire for 40 SP Ultimate (combined with Lass Ultimate) 2 phases of Shrine Destruction, 1 phase of Dr. Molly boss. For the first 2 phase, players have to take out as many mobs and altars as possible. Each of these 2 phases have 1 min and 20 seconds , and 3 Shrines. For the last phase, Dr. Molly will spawn in with corresponding buffs of shrines standing, as well as the leftover mobs.
Challenge Mode Gameplay by Gianity#1932
It is advisable to take out all mobs during the phases as they will be brought over to the next wave. Players who have difficulty taking out shrines, should at least focus on the following: Phase 1: Once spawn, head straight all the way to the opposite and take out that shrine. (Defence Shrine) Phase 2: Once spawn, head to the Upper Left shrineand take it out. (Cooldown Reduction Shrine ) Taking out those shrine prevents both Dr. Molly and the mobs from having the defence and CDR buff, which will make the fight easier *Combo Suggestion on Dr.Molly: Use Null Zone to dispel Molly's Shield. Follow-up with Lass Ultimate, and use Lire's Ultimate immediately after. *Recommended Unit(s): Elesis for Skill Cancel, Ranged / Mage DPS units for Spore Flowers Skill Boss Fight. This stage is Elesis's turn to shine (or any other Skill Canceler / Stunner) 3 Major attack patterns to lookout for: 1. Secret Garden (Stun / Immobolize / Damage Over Time) Flaune will start channeling and once channeled finish, vines will appear in an AoE of the targetted unit, and stun those in the AoE while dealing DoT. Avoid this skill by using Skill Cancel / Stunning Flaune before he channels finish. Players can use Cleanse party skill to temporarily avoid the effects. However, once the cleanse buff is over, the vines will immobilise units again. Once captured by vines, players can only wait for the skill duration to be over to get out of the debuff. 2. Explosive Plant (Damage + Debuff ) A circle mark will appear on the ground to signify the exploding plant landing. If any units were hit by it, they will receive a debuff (Poison) that can be stacked by getting hit again with another of this skill. You can remove it with Cleanse party skill. If no units were hit by this skill, a plant creature (same as the one from the start of battle) will spawn. 3. Spore Flowers (Summons) Flaune will teleport to the center of the map, and summon around 6 or more Spore flowers. These flowers will bloom in a few second, and start spitting poison at players' units. Recommended to take them out quickly with range attacks, as they will explode in a melee AoE (which can be very painful against low TAP) *Poison* (Debuff ) Units affected by this debuff will have reduced Healing Received and takes Additional Damage from Flaune's skills. Can be cleanse.
Clear with 0 hero deaths Clear within 4 minutes Eliminate the boss within 40 seconds Clear with 3 or less party members Deploy 2 Mage units
*Recommended Unit(s): Amy for SP Generation + Heal, Tank + Gatherer, 2 AoE DPS units An annoying and fustrating stage. There will be a total of 4 blocks of platforms. Each platform will have a target to defeat within a time limit . Once the countdown of time limit is finished, or if the target is destroyed within the time limit, a Large Starfall will prepare to fall, and players will have to quickly move to the next Block to avoid being destroyed with the platform. Fail to do so, and it's DEFEAT .
Challenge Mode Gameplay by Gianity#1932
1st Block: 1 minute to destroy the barrier with mobs and 2 different patterns of Star Fall. 2nd Block: 1 minute to destroy the barrier with mobs and 3 different patterns of Star Fall 3rd Block: 1 minute to destroy the barrier with mobs and 5 different patterns of Star Fall 4th Block: 2 minutes 30 seconds to defeat Briel . Briel will revive 2 times.
2-4
1st Briel: The Star Falls will be on the upper left. 2nd Briel: The Star Falls will be on the bottom right . 3rd Briel: NO Star Falls, but mobs will spawn in. Keep avoiding the Star Falls, while gathering mobs and using AoE DPS to quickly take them out along with the barrier. Leftover mobs can either perish along with the platform, or follow you to the next platform. Read through Briel's Skill Descriptions to be prepared for his fight. Use party skill 0 times Clear with 0 hero deaths Clear within 6 minutes Clear with 3 or less party members Deploy 2 Guardian units
*Recommended Unit(s): Ronan for easier mechanic dodge (Invulnerable Skill) Lire for Single-Target DPS, and 40 SP Ultimate (combined with Lass Ultimate) Endless Growth 2 Phases of Boss Fight. Phase 1: Gaian + 6 Golem mobs. Defeat all to progress to phase 2. For the 6 golem mobs, they will spawn in 1 by 1 over time. It is recommended to seperate them up when you defeat them if you don't have Ronan, as they turn into blockable rubbles useful in Phase 2. *If the player has Ronan in the lineup, just defeat them together for easier clear.
Phase 2: Fallen Gaian 4 Major Attack patterns: 1. Death Claws (6-Linear Directional Claw Wave) If units are hit by the sharks, players will receive a stackable debuff (Hand of the Fallen ) for each unit hit. It is always recommended to avoid being hit by this attack because of the debuff. The rubble will have flashing mark to signify the Sharks spawning from that rubble, thus it is easy to avoid.

2. Shockwave (Homing) Gaian teleports to the center, and sends a homing shockwave to the players' units. If units are hit by the shockwave, players will receive a stackable debuff (Hand of the Fallen ) for each unit hit. It is always recommended to avoid being hit by this attack because of the debuff, and the final shock deals a burst of damage. Easily avoid this skill by moving your units behind the rubble facing Gaian. The rubble will be destroyed if blocked successfully. This is why it is recommended to seperate when defeating the golems in Phase 1, since the AoE of the shockwave is big enough to waste 2 or more rubbles. *Alternatively, run away from the shockwave and use Ronan's Invincibility right before the shockwave hits the players' units for easier mechanic dodge. 3. Death Claws Stampede (Half-map AoE Claw Wave) At around 3/5 or 3/4 of Dark Gaian's HP, the Death Claws will upgrade to this attack pattern. If units are hit by the sharks, players will receive a stackable debuff (Hand of the Fallen ) for each unit hit. It is always recommended to avoid being hit by this attack because of the debuff. There will be red markings to signify the start of this attack, and able to easily dodge as well. 4. Rage Mode (Below 1/4 HP Activation) Player units will start receiving a stackable debuff (Curse of the Fallen ) over time. Quickly DPS down Gaian as players will take a huge DoT with the debuff, as well as faster attack frequencies.
*Hand of the Fallen * Each stack received will increase the Magic Damage taken from Gaian's Skill by 1% (A 100 stack = 100% increased damage) Cannot be cleanse.
*Curse of the Fallen*

Remarks *It is advisable to always pick the most difficult one at lo wer stage due to lower BP requirement. It makes a lot of difference. However, if your overall BP is still too low, don't force yourself. Get stronger and come back to challenge. This is one of the more difficult content in GCDC.
*The secondary stats of the sub-weapon is RANDOM . There is a chance to get HP, Physical Defense, Magical Defense, or Physical / Magical Attack (Attack stats depends o n Weapon Class) (e.g. Assault gets Physical Attack, Mage gets Magical Attack)
Difficulty
Stage
Notes
Poseidon
Recommended Unit(s): One of the easier ones as there is no notable stage mechanics to look out for. Just be aware of the large room. Take each corner one by one, do not rush to spawn all together. Poseidon'sshield CANNOT be be dispelled. Quickly DPS her when her shield is down. Her shield has time duration limit. Notable enemy units: Poseidon, Rose, Osiris, Shasha, Captain Claw, Urca, Swen
Hanout
Recommended Unit(s): One of the easier ones as there is no notable stage mechanics to look out for. Just destroy enemies to reach Hanout. Just be aware that at high level, the mobs can be VERY painful. Notable enemy units: Hanout, Ras El, Bergamot, Cindy
Ras El
Recommended Unit(s): One of the easier ones. Watch out for poison DoT throughout the whole stage. Destroy enemies and progress towards Ras El. She will use her Ultimate to summon 3 Black Fire Demons. Notable enemy units: Ras El, Mecha Rocco, S ai, Rocco, Porch, Ponya, Husky
Belial
Recommended Unit(s): Ronan, or Ryan with Invincibility P arty Skill A relatively easy stage, with an annoying stage mechanic. Belial will appear after and during certain waves (fixed) and will charge up for a burst attack. Notice the lightning striking on him as he charges, up to 5 times. 4th and 5th will be fast. At 4th charge, use Invincibility (Ronan) or Ryan Transformation + Invincibility (Party Skill) to avoid. Notable enemy units: Belial, Charon, Bergamot, Poseidon, Cleo, Pepe, Big Imp
Marjoram
Recommended Unit(s): Elesis / Sieghart / Skill Canceler Marjoram and Dr.Merken will spawn in to Skill Channel. Quickly cancel to prevent Hex + Summon (Osiris from Marjoram, Stavrogin from Dr.Merken) Take your time to progress and keep an eye on those 2 spawning in. Save your cancels for them. Notable enemy units: Marjoram, Dr. Merken, Rose, Duchi, Ponya, Mecha Rocco Stavrogin(Summon), Osiris(Summon)
Captain Boar
Recommended Unit(s): Ley / Mari / Ras El Considered a high difficulty stage, due to having Boar appear as mobs along the way with Silence. Watch out for poison plants! Use your summon spawns to kill them quickly as they are low HP. Once they bloom, they can be deadly!! (similar to Raid 2-3) Watch out for ambushes! Progress carefully and slowly, while making sure no poison plants bloom! Notable enemy units: Nephilim, Boar, Poison Plant(!!!), Swen, Charlotte, Kaiga, Porch
Fennel
Recommended Unit(s): Sieghart / Elesis / Gatherer Tanky (and pain) Mobs! Lure the mobs to Mini-Wendy with the bombs to kill them easily! Notable enemy units: Fennel, Olivia, Stavrogin, Husky, K yle, Charlotte. Nicholas, Lilia
Balzac
Recommended Unit(s): Rufus / Bergamot Considered the most difficult (yet straightforward) due to the painful mobs and Balzac. It is advisable to use long range units due to painful bleeding effect. First few wave might seem easy, but as you progress, you get ambush from the back by a creep of mobs that dish out tons of damage, even with Tank. Notable enemy units: Balzac, Belial, Hanaru, Navarus
