Gilgamesh Skills Analysis

Passive (Confrontation of Fate)
Gilgamesh’s passive allows him to gain Divinity every time any ally or enemy activates their Ultimate, which is significant in high-activity or ultimate-heavy battles. This mechanic can set up his own ult faster or help recover Divinity lost to enemy skills.
Basic Attack (Heroic Charge)
This skill becomes more dangerous against high-divinity targets with its extra chance to strong hit. It is most effective mid-to-late in a fight when enemy divinity builds up.
Core (Defy the Netherworld)
The damage of this ability scales with Gilgamesh’s missing HP, making him a threatening AOE (area of effect) presence when he’s wounded. Keep him at lower HP for higher AOE output, but watch for enemy finishers.
Ultimate (Mortal Reminder)
Gilgamesh’s ultimate punishes enemies with high Divinity, dealing dramatically increased damage (50% more) to such targets. He also gains a massive Divinity influx if allies (especially Enkidu) die, which can enable repeated ultimate usage or strong retaliation after a loss on your side.

Gilgamesh Gear Guide

As a Brawler, Gilgamesh benefits most from Chain Mail gear, which grants “All Stats” increment for each attuned piece (up to 3 total with a full set)

Primary Stats Priority:

HP%: Boosts his survivability and enhances his skill scaling, as much of his damage is based on HP.
ATK%: Increases the raw damage from all his offensive skills.
Crit Rate and Crit Damage: Secondary but valuable for amplifying his strong-hit potential.

Ideal Substats:

HP%
ATK%
Crit Rate
Crit Damage
Speed
Resistance

Gilgamesh Synergy Heroes

Enkidu: Not only do they share thematic ties, but Gilgamesh’s ultimate skill gives him a huge Divinity boost if Enkidu falls, potentially enabling instant retaliation or a clutch team-carry moment. Running them together also allows you to bait out Enkidu’s death strategically.
Shamash: Shamash can increase the Divinity of allies who join his attacks. Gilgamesh benefits directly from the Divinity boosts, charging his ultimate faster. Shamash also provides team-wide healing and buffs, covering some of Gilgamesh’s survivability gaps.

How to Counter Gilgamesh in Godforge

Deny Divinity:
Divinity-reducing effects or heroes that destroy or reduce Divinity will slow his ultimate cycle and reduce his main spike damage threat. Disruptors like Zeus (who can decrease enemy Divinity directly) are strong picks.
Burst Damage:
Gilgamesh performs best when left at low HP. Fast, high-damage AOEs or finishing skills can take him out before he capitalizes on his passive or Defy the Netherworld’s scaling effect.
Buff/Debuff Control:
Apply heavy healing reduction debuffs or disables to curtail both his healing and his synergy with support teams. Debuffs that block buffs can further hinder his survivability if he’s reliant on external support.
Target Enkidu Carefully:
If Enkidu is present, avoid defeating Enkidu before Gilgamesh is set up for easy finish, since Enkidu’s death massively powers up Gilgamesh.
Crowd Control:
Disables, stuns, or other hard crowd-control effects will prevent Gilgamesh from leveraging his skills at crucial moments. Lock him down when his Divinity is high or he’s preparing to use his ultimate.
