The heir of a family that once guarded the [13th Shard of Destruction] so secretly that even the world did not know of its existence. Gerard harbors an intense grudge against Freyja for murdering her younger sister, and lives solely for the sake of one day taking revenge on her. As a youth, Gerard voluntarily served the celestial realm due to her desire to see the world outside, and was raised to the Fourth Seat of the Celestial Guardians in acknowledgement of her efforts and achievements. However, as time passed, Gerard became disillusioned by the corruption she saw within the ranks, and returned to her village. When the Second Celestial War erupted, Gerard joined her former companions and fought against the Valkyries. After much fighting, Gerard was able to finally corner Freyja, only to realize that she had fallen for her machinations. That day, Gerard witnessed the death of not just her sister, but her entire family.
Dutybound Protector Gerard Guide
Top-tier Frostbite DPS · Excels in long PvE encounters
Ramp-up dependent · Weak in PvP
Gerard is the dedicated Frostbite hero that completes the DoT meta lineup. He excels in long PvE encounters where his Chilling Winds stacks build over time, unlocking devastating damage output. He is a top-tier pick for Abyss Expedition, Deep Nightmare, and Boss content.
The gap between his base and awakened versions is enormous, making awakening practically mandatory to unlock his full potential. In PvP, however, his reliance on ramp-up time and lack of burst hold him back significantly.
Second place in Nightmare on the dps meter.

Best Game Modes
- Abyss Expedition — finally a true Frostbite hero for top-end PvE content
- Deep Nightmare — DoT stacks build perfectly over long fights, she'll be joining my second team with Rin right away.
- Boss — max stacks are reached quickly, full damage comes online fast
- PvP — not recommended: no burst, no survivability
Build & Optimization
Focus on Critical Hit rate. Storm Currents already provides +36% Crit Rate, but that's not enough to play it without criticism, especially at the highest tiers of Deep Nigthmare.

FAQ
Is Gerard worth pulling?
Yes, she is one of the best DPS units currently available, especially in high-end PvE content.Is Gerard the best Frostbite DoT hero?
Yes, without hesitation. He is only the second awakened hero after Heir to the Hidden Palace Siris capable of applying the Frostbite DoT, and his damage output is exceptional even without High Lord Alicia on the team.Does Gerard need awakening to be viable?
Absolutely. The jump from +30% ATK to +150% ATK between his base and awakened versions is so massive that running him unawakened means leaving the vast majority of his potential untapped.Is Gerard good in PvP?
No. She lacks burst damage and survivability tools, and his damage only ramps up over time — which doesn't suit the pace of PvP.This site is a fan project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Netmarble.
