Gaius The Gleeful is a Legendary Magic Attack champion who joined the Knight Revenant faction as the reward from the Easter 2022 Fragment Fusion Collection Event. He is a dedicated Bomb specialist whose kit is built around landing explosives safely and punishing revive and Unkillable strategies.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Bombs Under Sleep Cover: His A2, Jester's Remedy, attacks all enemies and once booked guarantees a 1-turn Sleep plus two Bomb debuffs on each enemy that detonate after 2 turns, all on a 3-turn booked cooldown. The Sleep buys the time the Bombs need to go off before enemies can cleanse or act.
Unkillable Counter: His A3 hits one enemy twice — the first hit instantly detonates all Bombs on the target, and the second ignores Unkillable buffs, making him a direct answer to champions like Skullcrown and to Swift Parry setups.
Mad Bomber Passive: When attacked, each hit has a 30% chance of planting a Bomb on the attacker, and if Gaius dies, every Bomb on every enemy detonates instantly — enabling both tanky and deliberately fragile builds.
Key Weaknesses
Fragile Gameplan: Any damage, including HP Burn, wakes sleeping enemies early, and full cleansers can strip the Bombs before detonation. His Bomb-centric kit also translates poorly to sustained boss fights like Clan Boss and Iron Twins.
Gaius is at his best in Arena, where his ratings peak, with useful showings in Ice Golem and wave-based dungeon content.
