Best Gepard Build Guide

Gepard Build Guide - Tank and Shield Support

Stat Targets

  • DEF 2300 or higher
  • HP 3000 or higher
  • Effect Hit Rate 50%
  • SPD 134+

This build focuses on making Gepard’s shield tougher, turning him into a more effective tank in any team.

DEF% is the best main stat for the Body piece, because it directly raises the strength of Gepard’s shield. That said, if you feel the shield is already strong enough, you can run Effect Hit Rate% as the main stat to improve the Freeze chance when Gepard uses his Skill.

Once you have Gepard E1, go back to DEF% on the Body. E1 raises the base Freeze chance to 100%, but in endgame content, where enemies can have up to 40% Effect RES, you still need 67% Effect Hit Rate to make the Freeze land reliably.

Gepard wants plenty of HP and DEF because he is a tank, and his shield scales off DEF.
For SPD, you only need 134 at minimum, or higher if you want Gepard to gain extra turns each cycle.
