Gilthunder is a Holy Knight of Liones known for his mastery of lightning-based combat and his disciplined approach to battle. A SR rarity character, Gilthunder is a dedicated Lightning-element unit across all his weapon options, focusing on status effects, Burst support, and damage application. He can wield a Longsword, Sword and Shield, or Lance, allowing him to function as a burst enabler, defensive support, or situational attacker depending on the build. His kit emphasizes Shock and Lightning synergy, making him particularly effective in coordinated elemental teams.

With the Longsword, Gilthunder operates as a Burst-oriented attacker and enabler through the application of Shock. This effect deals damage over time and can spread to nearby enemies when attacked, making him useful in multi-target scenarios. His Ultimate reduces enemy Elemental Burst Resistance, helping the team build Burst more quickly, while his Passive lowers Lightning Defense when Burst is activated. This combination allows him to set up favorable conditions for Lightning attackers, making his role more supportive than purely damage-focused.

In his Sword and Shield configuration, Gilthunder becomes a defensive support focused on team durability and utility. He can grant shields to all allies, increasing survivability, and apply additional effects such as damage reflection when certain conditions are met. His kit also includes the ability to inflict Bind and reduce enemy Lightning Defense when shields are removed, indirectly boosting team damage. While his personal damage is limited in this form, he contributes through protection and consistent debuff application, making him suitable for more defensive team setups.

When equipped with a Lance, Gilthunder transitions into an attacker who benefits from status-based conditions, particularly Paralysis. He can inflict Shock and then convert it into Paralysis using his Special Attack, enabling periods where enemies are unable to act. His damage increases against Paralyzed enemies, encouraging a setup-focused rotation. Additionally, his cooldown reduction during Burst allows for more frequent skill usage, improving his overall damage consistency. This form works best when paired with allies who can maintain Shock or Paralysis uptime.

Pros

Cons

Damage output depends on setup and team synergy
