Gorou equipment and statistics
One of the sets that works well for him is the one released in version 2.3 of the game, namely the set of Shell of Opulent Dreams. The DEF bonus on the latter coupled with obtaining a second def + Geo damage bonus is perfect for him.
If you intend to play it in a much more “support” way, a ancient royal ritual set may be ideal.
On the weapons side, Hunting Bow of Favonius 4 star is ideal, as it will help make particles and thus have its ultimate ability available more often. The Ritual Bow is also a good choice, to reset the cooldown of his ability.
For its statistics, here are the main ones to have ideally on the Hourglass, the Cup and the Helmet:
| Piece of equipment | Main statistic |
|---|---|
| hourglass | Energy recharge, DEF% |
| Chopped off | Geo damage |
| Helmet | Crit rate / crit damage |
Your priorities for stats in general are Energy Recharge (170% ideally total),% Crit, and% DEF.
Should we summon Gorou?
We must already understand what character Gorou is. He is played mainly as a support, or a sub-dps, namely a character who does damage, but which does not replace a “real” dps. Unlike a Bennett (without its 6th constellation), it cannot be placed in any composition, because its strength is mainly to buffer Geo characters.
It therefore automatically has a niche role (kennel, dog, you have it). Its constellations are excellent, especially the last one which makes it even more effective in its role of support. It’s actually very easy to decide for Gorou: Do you plan to play a 100% Geo team? Go for it. If not, the character will be of no use to you.
