However, Gifso is arguably one of the most goated and hype SR characters. Even if you pulled him without Kahono or Kiato, you are still absolutely winning. Today, let's discuss his skills, which skills to upgrade, the best skill cards to equip, suitable gear for Gifso, whether you should enhance him, recommended talents, and the PVE teams he excels in.
Who is Gifso?
In the Seabed Temple arc of "Black Clover," Gifso, the high priest, challenges the Black Bulls to a game for a magic stone. Initially proposing a questionable game, he is thwarted by Noelle's punch and Magna's skepticism. Gifso, displaying his unique eyesight, separates the Black Bulls within the temple's caves using his magic.
As the Black Bulls engage in battles against Gifso's priests, the situation takes a serious turn when Vetto, a member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, crashes into the temple. Gifso, unable to leave due to magical rules, is alarmed by Yami's request to confront Vetto. The game's rules change to defeating the Eye of the Midnight Sun members.
Despite the Black Bulls' efforts, Vetto proves overwhelming, injuring Kiato and Kahono. Gifso, in desperation, summons Monster Toys, but they are easily destroyed. Vetto reveals his crushed dreams and bonds, leading to a tense confrontation. Noelle's powerful magic ultimately prevails, creating chaos in the temple.
After the defeat of Vetto, Gifso acknowledges Yami's strength and blames himself for his grandchildren's injuries. Grateful for the Black Bulls' assistance, he offers them anything they wish, and Yami requests the magic stone. In the aftermath, Gifso invites the Black Bulls for future visits and bids them farewell with a promise of a party.
Gifso's Role
| Attribute | Technique | Class | Supporter |
|---|
Gifso specializes in supporting damage and is notable for providing buffs that increase damage based on advantageous matchups and additional damage against bosses.
Unlike traditional supporters who typically enhance allies based on attributes like attack power or magic, Gifso represents a new breed of supporters that strategically choose opponents.
While Finral Roulacase's buffs to speed and action points dominate the support role, Gifso faces stiff competition, with alternatives like William Vangeance, Sally, or Swimsuit Gauche in some compositions. Deciding whether to include Gifso becomes a critical decision.
Gifso can shine as a damage supporter in lineups with favorable matchups against appearing enemies. However, in quests featuring multiple attributes or arenas where turn order significantly impacts victory or defeat, other supporters may take precedence.
Recommended Skill Pages
For skill cards, Sally's skill card, "Insatiable Quest," is highly recommended. It grants a 10% increased all attack to the ally with the highest attack for two turns upon using skill two. Other options include Vanessa's skill card for increased damage resist or William's skill card for HP recovery.

Recommended Equipment Sets
In terms of gear, prioritize magic attack over attack stats. Aim for a full Mobility set, as Gifso benefits from increased speed to buff allies before their turns. Running a half-defense set can also help improve Gifso's survivability.

Skills and Passives
His first skill, "Monster creation piranha," is a single-target attack that grants an increased attack level one buff to the ally with the lowest HP ratio for one turn. It's decent but gets crazier with his other skills.
His second skill, "Let the games begin," is an AOE attack that grants all allies a 25% increased favored damage dealt buff for two turns. There's also a 40% chance to grant all allies a 15% increased damage dealt to boss buff for two turns. Upgrading this skill enhances the favored damage bonus to 40%, plus the 15% boss damage. His special skill, "Monster creation giant yell," is a single-target attack that grants all allies an increased all attack level two buff for two turns, affecting both attack and magic attack. It also has a 50% chance to remove poison from an ally.

Dupes
Enhancing Gifso to two or five stars doesn't provide significant benefits, so it's not a priority. In the attack talent tree, consider skills that increase damage dealt to bosses and magic attack. For defense, focus on increased defense, crit resist, and damage resist.
Team Composition
As for teams, Gifso works well with Mages, especially Rhya. A recommended team includes Gifso, Rhya, and other suitable support characters. This team synergy can be particularly effective in PVE scenarios.
Summary
In summary, Gifso is a potent SR character with a unique skill set that shines when paired with Mages. Prioritize upgrading his skill two for optimal performance. Consider Sally's skill card, focus on magic attack gear, and enhance as resources allow. Build talents that enhance his damage output and survivability.
