Gordon is a bruiser-style physical DPS with good anti-control traits and decent punishment potential. At max skill, Giant Axe Whirlwind hits for 200% P.ATK while reducing both defenses and increasing Deep Wound, so he can pressure a target directly and also make follow-up damage from the team more effective. His kit scales during combat as well: Minotaur Axe permanently stacks his own P.ATK, Fury increases both defenses and damage whenever enemies use offensive skills, and every 3 stacks lets his next hit break shields and add another 200% P.ATK.
What makes Gordon more interesting than a basic attacker is Minotaur’s Wrath. He fully removes most control effects on himself and immediately counterattacks the source up to twice per round, which gives him real value into disruptive teams. Of course he is not a mainstream PvP carry, because he needs the fight to develop before his pressure feels threatening, but among A-rank units he has a solid niche and can punish careless control-heavy drafts better than most budget DPS. He is not meta, but can be used for fun.
