Quick Analysis

Gilgamesh comes in with the desire to be a best friend.

Notice we did not make friend plural. This will be a very interesting leader to play with because keeping only one Ally will be a delicate balance. Will you try to shift between different powers on the map? Or maybe, you will be ride or die with the first Ally you make.

Either way, you and your bestie will be able to go into battle ready to strengthen one another.

If you meet Gilgamesh, he will likely be a leader you will want to bond with. It feels like his playstyle will be unique, as everyone wants to be friends with him, unless they aren’t. But it will make the duo extremely strong and allow for Gilgamesh to play almost as a support would in an RPG.
