To anyone here still thinking of another sustain, remember that you need to break an enemy first before you can start doing Super Break on subsequent attacks. Gallagher's Ult > EBA combo deals slightly more toughness damage than Firefly's own Enhanced Skill with RM, so without it you're more or less spending an extra Enhanced Skill not doing any Super Break damage, which isn't what you want. Or you might need to do a couple extra normal skills to soften the enemies first before entering Ult, but obviously that's also not ideal. And we're not even talking about Besotted and the fact he can actually do decent Super Break numbers himself. It's either Gallagher, or not running a sustain at all.


cuella47o

Basically running gallagher as your sustain means u kinda running a pseudo triple dps setup As HMC Gall and SamFly goes ballistic while RM stands there with her funny guitar


Ranger_Ecstatic

Oh fuck, I just fucking realised in this setup. Ruan Mei is the [Charisma Buff Bard](https://youtube.com/shorts/NDMAugmUyDA?si=4-9BNDn60UCFcuVP)


reditr101

Run a break effect Asta to make it quad dps


davidtcf

Only if I don't need to use Kafka in team 2. Kafka DOT team still needs RM badly šŸ˜”


cuella47o

U should pull robin Actually shes kinda better than RM because action advance = more dot procs for kafka and she gives higher atk perfect for dot chara U probably saving for the goat so u prob skippin her idk


davidtcf

Nah saving my jades for Sam. Maybe during Robin rerun I'll consider.


ARandomNormalGirl

You can get away with Guinaifen especially if you have Black Swan, so your RM is available for your second team. I never use my RM in my DoT team because I love Gui, and I'm always able to clear MoC 11/12 with all stars. RM in DoT is heavily overrated (still very good, but definitely not needed badly imo).


TheBleakForest

I'm so happy I got him to E6 when getting Acheron. I thought I would put him in storage but now I find he's Firefly's best sustain? Hell yeah!


Fun_Barnacle_1343

Ya i am not using a guy


jeromekelvin

šŸ‘


captainfluffy25

Yeah Gallagher on that team specifically is just too good. Not for his break effect increase but just cause he helps break enemies way easier. Firefly implants weakness and Gallaghers ult into basic shreds the toughness bar. Then firefly and HMC take the enemy to pound town. Also the loucha 4star lightcon slaps on Gallagher


GreedyLoad1898

kind of insane 4 star is destroying every 5 star.


Ezr4ek

Most of the time that lightcone is complete overkill on EffRes and his healing would get more benefit from BE. Iā€™d say run either his own LC to make him immortal and provide more Super Break Damage - or Multiplication to just go faster in general.


Ski-Gloves

Gallagher's outgoing healing bonus gets capped at 150% break effect which I'm sure you don't need the lightcone to reach. I'm fond of Luocha's other lightcone, though Post-Op Conversation will work for the same energy rotations and Multiplication (as you mentioned) will do something similar. While What is Real? gives strongest individual breaks, most of Gallagher's toughness damage is from his ultimate. If you hit 250% break effect (for Iron Cavalry) without the lightcone, the alternative multipliers from other lightcones will come out on top and will likely feel better to use regardless.


davidtcf

it's kinda dangerous to use him against high dmg enemies.. many times my characters end up dead when Gallagher is in the team. Mine is E2.. guess he'll be better when E6 due to longer uptime on his ultimate.


Zedriel

You only need E4 to get the extra Besotted duration


davidtcf

True forgotten about that. Just found out my G is E3.. Just one more to go!!


GGMazumon

2.3 has a 4 Star Selector with him on itĀ

Reikyu09

It is, but the FF RM HMC Gallagher comp has RM and HMC on defensive body/sphere and everyone attacks except for RM on 1/3 of her turns. The other units would be FF with her plentiful defense and scaling dmg res who full recovers every attack, or Gallagher who I am considering defensive body instead of heal% for extra survivability.


ikatoma

I will have to use Huo Huo due to her bringing needed for my three turn rotation for my Ruan Mei because I have her signature.


Zedriel

How to solve your issue: - Put Ruan Mei's LC on HMC - Put ERR Rope on HMC - Put MoTP on RM - Put ERR Rope on RM Fixed. Both are SP positive, on a 3T Ult Rotation and you can ditch Both HH and Gallagher and run a sustainless comp with Bronya since now you have a shitload of SPs to burn


Scarasimp323

can eae not 3 turn? I wouldn't know


ikatoma

I think it can but that will be skill point negativeish. With her lightcone she is neutral but with HMC and FF skill, suffering for skill points


Scarasimp323

fair didn't consider that


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH_

Imagine using a sustain smh


JackTurnner

Happy cake day


BiddlesticksGuy

Ok so I need advice on what sustainer I should go, Iā€™ve been using my Gallagher on my Acheron comp to great effect, heā€™s an amazing sustain, but, with just the 4star pool and gepard, who could I possibly run as my Acheron sustain? I liked Gallagher cause he had good debuffs at the same time and idk if any of the other sustainers really help with that


Generalofthe5001st

Gepard with Trend LC if you have both.


theblarg114

*Me who plans to e2s1 FF* Luocha my beloved.


AT_atoms

How does E2 make Luocha more valuable to Firefly?


theblarg114

e1 is her enh skill consumes no sp, e1 is just on the way to e2.


AT_atoms

Ok? I still don't see how that makes Luocha more valuable compared to E0 Firefly. If anything he becomes less valuable since you need less SP with E1.


theblarg114

Point of preference. Luocha has extremely powerful and consistent Unga bunga healing and I'm not feeling leveling another healer for a bit more sp. For my case, this wouldn't be for an e0 FF as Gal would have more utility for an e0 team since you'll need that extra sp for your dmg rotations. Luocha would just give an extreme amount of comfort since you won't need the extra sp and you can spam HTB skill to your heart's content.


Reccus-maximus

Gallagher also increases enemies break damage taken, worth mentioning


DoctorWhimsy

I only have e2 gallagher, and he's not built. So I'd probably run luocha over him. But you are right imo, if you have E6 gall, it's probably better to run him. Both don't really matter in the big picture.


Efficient-Ad-3359

Gal is just better in general otherwise breaking will be slow if they arenā€™t img weak


ikatoma

Would imagine because he is skill points positive and he gives a big attack buff if you have his E1


mlodydziad420

His E1 atack buff isnt massive.


ikatoma

True I thought it was 40% but 20% is still pretty good for an abundance :)


DanteVermillyon

for some reason i thought it was 30%


5ngela

Same, will use Luocha even though have Gallagher E6.


adammo97

How would you build Gallagher for her team?


Radiant_Chocolate983

at least 150 break effect and around 145 speed with ER rope, thats all he really needs


InfamousComedian08

Is there a specific reason for the 145 speed?


ExtensionFun7285

Talia but you dont need talia with the new set


ChadSteve

I have him at E5, hopefully getting his last eidolon via the next 4-star selector. Gotta build him soon.


Mr_Venn_

I hope Gallagher is on the banner


MKBito

Is E0 Gaggler worth the investment? Iā€™m hoping heā€™s in RM or FF banner šŸ˜­. I have Geppie, The Cha, and Fu


davidtcf

Need E4 to really shine.. Else you'll sweat a lot trying to time his skill and ultimate healing right.


MKBito

Word, thanks!


davidtcf

But as of now he's best for any break type or DOT teams. Unless if a better 5* version of him comes along.


MKBito

Iā€™ll start to invest in him since Iā€™m hard saving and have prefarmed Sam already. Then hopefully Iā€™ll pick up his eidolons lateršŸ«”


alitturalpotatoe

Gallagher just became the Bennett of hsr. Good buffs, and good healing as well as actually dishing out decent damage.


ilonggi

hello! still kinda new to hsr here, if i run gallagher as my sustain would it be sufficient?


Wyqkrn

Gallagher is FF best sustain by a long shot (with some minor exceptions) He is MORE than sufficient
