## Hero Guide

### Summary

[Halloween] Holy Knight Gowther, as his name suggests, was released as part of a Halloween banner.  He is shown clothed in a Halloween costume of a white blouse that has jack-o’-lantern buttons with a red bow and a gold bell, black pantaloons, and purple and orange tights with tall black boots.  When it is available, buying Halloween Gowther’s Costume Set from the Sacred Treasures Shop can provide a special costume set bonus.  This costume set can also be worn by other variants of Gowther to take advantage of the bonus.

### Pros

* Extremely useful for depleting Ultimate Move Gauge orbs and preventing opponents from being able to Ult Rush, which is particularly useful in PvP (both geared and ungeared), as well as all Death Match bosses
* Invasion Arrow can be used for increasing the skill ranks of allies, helping them to perform better
* Unique ability increases all allies’ Attack-related stats at the start of every turn if the allies in battle are all from different races

### Cons

* As a limited event hero he can be very difficult to get on your team
* Low versatility for PvE farming since his primary benefit is in depleting Ultimate Move Gauge orbs and increasing skill ranks of allies
* Unique ability requires Halloween Gowther entering battle does not work from the sub-slot
* Unique ability will not apply if two of the same race appear so putting him in Unknown teams are not recommended
* Active skill does minimal DPS
* Countered by enemies that pentalizes the usage of rank up skills such as Galand variants or bosses that punish you for using rank up skills.

### Skill Review

Halloween Gowther’s skill set is very similar to Red Gowther’s in that he can use Invasion Arrow to rank up the skills of his allies, which makes him very beneficial when battling PvP opponents and Death Match bosses because you can quickly rank up your allies’ cards without needing to combine them.  His active skill is similar to Red Gowther’s in that it provides a low DPS AOE attack, however, it has the added benefit of depleting Ultimate Move Gauge orbs at the end of the enemy’s turn which makes him more versatile and particularly effective in countering Ult Rush teams.

Halloween Gowther’s Ultimate attack, by himself, will deplete three Ultimate Move Gauge orbs from opponents.  However, when taking advantage of his Association effect with King (any skinny variant), he gets a Combined Attack that depletes **five Ultimate Move Gauge orbs** from opponents, which can be especially frustrating to opponents in PvP and very effective in preventing Death Match bosses from being able to use their Ultimate Moves.

Halloween Gowther’s Unique ability increases all allies’ Attack-related stats by 7% at the start of every turn if the allies in battle are all from different races.  This can be used a maximum of five times and applies as soon as he enters battle, although it will reset if two of the same race appear.

### Usage

Halloween Gowther can be used as a substitute for virtually anywhere that Red Gowther was used.  Similar to use with Red Gowther in Death Matches, you can use combat stamps to communicate with your partner so that you can take advantage of using each others’ skill ups simultaneously to skill up all of your allies in the maximum possible way.

Forming a team of different races, Green Halloween Gowther's unique ability grants an increase in your allies' Attack-related stats (Attack, Pierce Rate, Crit Chance, and Crit Damage). The bonus immediately takes effect on turn one with a 7% increase and accumulates every turn up to a maximum of 35% (5 turns). Do take note that this Unique ability won't take effect when two of the same race are present on your team. Nevertheless, fulfilling this condition is worth the trouble because the effect provides a premier boost in power, especially in PVP.

Note that, while his Ultimate Move will immediately deplete the enemies’ Ultimate Move Gauge orbs upon his attacking, his AOE skill (Halloween Darkness) will wait to deplete the Ultimate Move Gauge orbs until the end of the enemy’s turn.

As mentioned in the Skill Review, Halloween Gowther has a Combined Attack with skinny King variants, which increases his Ultimate Move Gauge orb depletion from three to five and can be very useful in Death Matches.  His other Associations are based on his storyline relationships with Merlin and Slater.

He can also be useful in Demonic Beast Battle Hraesvelgr as he can rank up all allies cards to useful attack and buff cards to make the boss fight more easier. However he can't be used in the other boss fights of any of the newer Demonic Beasts post-Hraesvelgr as Eikthyrnir, Skoll and Hati, and Nidhoggr as they have passives that will pentalize you whenever you used a rank up skill that will give them ridiculous stat boosts by 100% every time you use a Rank Up Skill, that will make them harder to take down and easier to defeat your team.

## Story

Gowther is the Goat's Sin of Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gowther is a doll who, according to Merlin, was created by a great mage from long ago. Designed to be an extension of his creator with the outside world, he was once a member of the Demon Clan's Ten Commandments, the group of elite warriors that served directly under the Demon King. However, during the Holy War he disappeared for unknown reasons.
