Stats

Analysis

Review

Gaeun is one of the most popular employees in Counter Side, both because of her design and because of how good she is.

Not only her stats are among the best in Ranger class, but also she does it all - she can deal damage, stun enemies, and also debuff them. Oh, and all that for only 3-cost. Honestly, when the developers reworked her, they buffed her way too much.

That's why she's often called an Awakened Employee in disguise. In SEA she already reached Ban Level 4 in Ranked PVP not once, but twice. She also got this ban level in JP. She does fall off a bit later in the game though, but still remains a great employee used in many teams due to her flexibility.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- a perfect example of a synergistic kit,

- high DEF and HP for a Ranger, which allows her to survive longer that she should,

- great damage combined with CC.

Cons

- honestly, none.

Gear Recommendation
PVE gear

Set: Autoattack DPS or CDR DPS


CDR build does not do any damage to frontliners but allows you to disrupt enemies with skills and ults.

PVP gear

Set: Autoattack DPS or CDR DPS


CDR build does not do any damage to frontliners but allows you to disrupt enemies with skills and ults.

The gear recommendations have been simplified and you should use them in combination with this guide (for PVP) and this guide (for PVE).
