A mysterious wandering man from another world, searching after a legendary sword. Said to have traversed many worlds, he played a part in the battle at a known big bridge, and also seems to have participated in the war of the gods. Having fought across many dimensions against the Warriors of Light, his skills with a sword are absolute. Thought he has three sets of arms and appears quite ominous, he is easily swayed, often impressed by how fervent the heroes he comes across are.

Strategy[]
The fights against Gilgamesh can be simplified into two things: managing his HP thresholds and disabling his elemental abilities. As his repertoire consists of hybrid attacks (i.e. a mix of physical and magic damage), it is recommended that all units are well equipped in terms of DEF and SPR, as well as elemental resistances. Tank units are a must as well as Healer units. Man Eater passives boost the damage done to Gilgamesh, as he is classified as a Human enemy.
