A guide to Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh is a very strong late game character. He is one who really relies on level. Personally, I think he is a very strong character but many people dont seem to use him often. So I made this guide(at least, in my way xP)to explain his strength and show the way to use and master him.

Pros:
A powerful late-gamer
He becomes as hard as a rock after getting all of his items
Very strong and painful skills with low cooldown time

Cons:
Low movement speed, which means you will have trouble chasing your opponents or running away
Skill learning level gap is a little far apart
Only has 4 skills


If you are planning to use Gilgamesh in a game, ALWAYS try to take the Blue Team. When you are in the Blue Team and the game starts, just farm or kill as much as you can in the middle before you finally die(which doesn't take very long, Lol). When you are revived,immediately head to the bottom-right circle and start spawning infernals by patrolling on the circle. If you are lucky,nobody interrupts your action. After spawning them to the limit, head back to your base and stand beside the last shop from the left. That spot is perfect as nobody can attack you from there. Stand there and starting spamming your 1st skill on the infernals(why I chose Gilgamesh's 1st skill is because it has very fast cooltime and it has a poison-like effect with decent damage). BUT,if the gate is broken,the infernals will run into your base and you wont be able to reach them in that spot. When that happens head to the bottom left corner of your base,on the left of the item shop. Farm there as the infernals will run in and out of the gates and you can still reach them. The results are a lot of exp, and not a bad amount of gold. The portal will be available at level 10, It is useful to farm those mini bosses. Try to reach level 20 ASAP though. As your ultimate can be used at that level. When you happen to be at level 20,spawn the infernals to the maximum amount and use your ultimate there. I know,some of you might think using it at the doomguards and skeleton warriors on the bottom left corner will give MUCH more gold,but at level 20,your ultimate's damage isn't high enough to kill the doomguards instantly. So use it on the infernals instead, it will probably leave 3-6 infernals left unharmed in the bottom right corner. With that amount of gold and exp that shoots your level up,buy your personal item(which is the red sword)and get out there and start kicking ass. Your shackle's cooldown will be very low and the duration will be long, it is essential to make sure someone will die by your hands. When you are at level 30, use your ultimate and the portal on the doomguards and skeleton warriors. Spawn, ultimate, break the gates(if it's not broken),rush in and use your portal on the red hp skeletons. You will have a LOT of gold with you. Get all your personal items and buy all stats+100. You must at least get your agility to around 500+ stats(or when you have maxed your movement speed). Spend the rest on strength. And there you go, you will be so hard that it will take at least 3 people to kill you. You will own the game. Some opponents might leave the game because of your power xD. I hope this guide helps everyone who read this.

wow. thanks so much for the guide
ill try using him

its best to go there when you reach lvl 6,since 2 time skill 1 = dead golem
goin there too early isnt good since they will surely HIT the gate
usually at lvl 6(everyone at the same lvl) they tend focus killing ppl dunno why and that why farmer her can free farm 30 sec before they realise wuts goin on at golem area

byakuya catch + senbonzakura,renji combo,yusuke + goku actually there is a lot of way killing you if you stand at there HOWEVER you will be rly save if you stand besice the teleport circle to the dragon area

2k gold or exp? i rather choose exp over tht 2k gold since the portal can be ks while if you use it to farm golem you can kill pesky ppl tht try to stop you(put it infront the tele circle lol

Lol this brings back old memories,

my team was getting pwned like mad.

The kills was like 43-81,

all my teammates left except for me, that means i got all their money. Now it's 1v3

My opponents were all lvl 3X and i was only lvl 2X.

Bought some weapons, learned the ulti, went to the bottom left and use some combo attacks.

After using the skills, i got like 40k to spend. Bought tomes and kicked their asses badly xD

My comments on Gilgamesh
-Work in pairs, your "net" attack will come in handy for your teammate-
-Str hero, making it a very very very very powerful character if the game last for more than 30minutes-
-Try to get your Ulti as fast as possible(the 2nd lvl of the ulti). Once you get that, you're gonna kick people ass-
-Portal is good for luring monsters to the side for walling-

Yup, gilgamesh is actually my fav in foc. As for what Nekomage said, usually i can start farming freely with the golems since level 1 and nobody touched the gate. I guess i'm just lucky? haha

When I said stand beside the last shop from the left i meant the last shop when u count from the left,which is the blue dragon i think...im not quite sure..

If you're in the red side, you gotta use the side walls.

And if your in the blue side trying to lure the doomknights and whatever things, you gotta use portals to get them to the side walls too.

It actually depends on how you play it. Weak characters can become deadly if you know how to use it, strong characters can become shit if you don't know how to use it to it's max potential.

Just that 1 person i saw using itachi, he got a nice build of items and he plays very smartly.
His items are
2 Personal Weapons for Itachi
4 Vitality Diamond

That's +8k HP and 10% chance of hexing.
He didn't add in anymore strength, he just concentrate on adding agi.
That's a very very very strong character.
High HP for tanking, high damage because of adding agi only, together with 10% chance of hexing is gay.... Imagine his teammates around to support him.
He stuns me, before i get to hit him, i got hex..... And after that, i can only hit him for a couple of times before i get hex/stun again....

Omg im getting offtopic again. Nvm... Just let me get offtopic a little more,

it's been like 5 or 6 months since this forum was created.... But the admin has not visited this forum ONCE after i registered....

What kind of admin is this? I bet this forum is soon going to be dead.

Well, at least there are still people posting right? sounds active enough to me

dont go offtopic
@froz yea,tht kind of build can survive skill dmg BUT if a ishida do the same thing then you are quite fuk up

So like i said, it depends on who is using the character.

Most people won't think about getting Vitality Diamond and stuff...

Your guide about gilgamesh is mostly correct. Except for one part. You shouldn't buy ANY of the gilgamesh personal item. The item, although give 100 armor and 100 str, is not worthy when compared to excalibur or vanguard. A strength hero is weak in armor, so you should get item that increase your armor in cheap price. The 200 armour in excalibur or vanguard worth 400 agi or 40000 golds. The gilgamesh personal item give 100 lesser armor, which worth 200 agi or 20000 gold. the 100 str given by his item only worth 12k gold, which make excalibur or vanguard worth 8k more gold than gilgamesh personal item. (It still worth even after adding the excalibur or vanguard extra price)

Well, my build of gilgamesh is getting 6 vanguard (vanguard = belt of giant strength + shield). It is only at a cheap cost of 11k and it give you 25 strength and 200 armor (woot).

Some might debate that excalibur is better than vanguard because it gives more damages. But, think, 6 vanguard cost you 66k gold, 6 excalibur cost 96k gold. You can buy str tomes with the extra 30k golds, which will give you extra 250 strength.

6 vanguard + 250 str = 4k hp + 800 damages + 1.2k armor

6 excalibur = 1.2 k damages + 1.2k armor

Its the choice of 400 damages or 4k extra hp.

As for 19000 tomes, i agree with you. you dunid to buy too many of it as long your armor reach 97% reduction it will be enough. (or 98% if you wish, but it will need 2k+ armor. 97% reduction nid around 1.4 armor) Remember, there is a max attack speed for every hero, therefore extra agi is not extra attack speed after your agi reach some amount (and around 500 agi will give you max attack speed for gilgamesh). So buying full str after you get your desired damage reduction and max attack speed.

LOL PRO. Definitely a good player.
But you have to think about this, you'll need to save up enough money to get Vanguard first. It cost 11k to get it. 8000gold for the shield and 3000 for the belt of str. After you get that, farming(without skills) and hunting would have become more difficult. Yes ur armour has increased, but ur damage is reduced. If you can survive with that item until you get the 2nd item you can win. But if you can't, you'll have a smaller chance of winning.
I forgot to take that into account while i was making my gaara guide.

Well, this is not a big deal for gilgamesh. one cast of lv 20 ulti on inferno will give him 11k gold and 2 or 3 lvl.(with correct direction and position).

Beside, its easier to buy a vanguard then a excalibur or even gilgamesh personal item. Usually i will get more then 2 belt of giant strength before getting a vanguard. Since belt of giant strength is only 3k, buying it is equal to buying 3k worth of str, which will increase your survivability before getting to lv 20(it will be much harder to farm a gilgamesh personal item).

Beside, since gilgamesh portal skill help you to farm more money when you can tank the dragon (or the skeleton), one vanguard can help you earn money much faster. (Did you ever notice max lvl of portal can kill skeleton str8 away?)

Hmmm....seems there are many other styles to play my favourite hero, and i thought i was the only few ppl who actually USES gilgamesh. Still, i would stick to my original( i think) style. But who knows? i might even try your style haml0u ^^

I know i'm probably late at making a reply, but my personal favorite to go is 4 personal items and 2 vanguards. You get the damage reduction from the armor, the attack and strength from the weapon. All this makes you a better tank and able to do damage (thus reducing incoming damage from dragons [ the faster you kill the less damage they do]) and using portal and ulti, easily racks up more money and more 19000 tomes. Usually once i get 500 agi, i start pumping tomes into strength. By about 60 kills in the game im already maxed out on items and 500 agi, i am usually responsible for 30 of the 40 remaining kills. Makes it fun...

top notch guide, undisputed 5 stars
