Strategy

Griselma is the only “builder” Hero in Gigantic. She utilizes a staff and Portal Beasts to control specific areas of the map. As a turret Hero her skills, with the exception of her [LMB/RT], are all static. Her Portal Beasts and traps cannot follow her unless summoned one at a time, meaning that she is strongest when protecting a small area. Fortunately and what makes Griselma particularly useful is the fact that her Portal Beasts have a relatively short cooldown between summons. Should you play it as such, Griselma can be incredibly aggressive and she is capable of pushing forwards quite quickly to establish her Portal Beasts, especially if the opposing team backs away.

Griselma is a particularly difficult Hero to play well. She has almost no mobility until mid game and relies heavily on her STAMINA
Special resource which allows hero to sprint, dodge, jump, and utilize powerful dodge and sprint attacks.
By default all heroes have 100 points of stamina.
While SPRINT and JUMPS consume stamina gradually when player is IN COMBAT, DODGE always cost 25 points (one segment of blue bar).
Heroes OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerate their stamina when they don't move actively.stamina to stay alive. Knowing when to push with your Portal Beasts and when to retreat is key to playing her effectively. Although you'll never likely be top of the leader board for kills, your group support can be invaluable.

Griselma has two common playstyles. Beam Griselma focuses on upgrades that give her beam more power. Beam Griselma focuses on moving around and putting Portal Beasts in strange locations, hiding them with the Ambush Hands upgrade, and then surprising your foes with a large amount of burst damage. Beam Griselma is also very good at split pushing creatures and giving allies powerful cover fire. The other popular playstyle is Slap Griselma. Slap Griselma takes the Touch of the Master upgrade to make huge hard to kill nests that are perfect for defending important objectives. Slap Griselma's hands are the second most damaging thing in the game, and when Griselma is constantly healing them she becomes an immovable wall.

Tips and Tricks

• Griselma's damage output isn't very good on her own, so make sure to create an army of Portal Beasts as soon as possible to stay competitive.
• One-on-one fights are weighted in Griselma's favor, but if you allow yourself to be outnumbered and you're going to die. Try to keep fights as evenly matched as possible.
• Because Griselma can be dominated pretty fast, you need to stay on the edge of combat to get out as quick as possible.
• Kite enemies! Engage them, and then move away to not only weaken the group fighting dynamic for your allies, but to establish a one-on-one fight.
• Griselma is a hard hero to fight as. You'll start to understand what enemies you can fight against, and over time, you'll learn the value of your limited escape skills, but until then, just get a feel for distance combat when you're first starting out.

• [RMB/LT] PORTAL BEAST
  • Portal Beast have so much use in combat as you should use them both aggressively and defensively.
  • They also prioritize her target so attack the enemy he want to deal the most damage to.
  • Using either version of her basic attack (LMB/RT) gives the Portal Beasts double attack speed, and they will turn to face and track Griselma's target. This lasts for about half a second after an enemy was last struck
  • Once a Portal Beast dies, it's cooldown is reset to 10 so place it wisely.
  • You can have 2 Portal Beasts at a time so make them count.
  • Try to keep track of the order your Portal Beasts were summoned in, so that when one gets low you can resummon it since Portal Beast will be on the same cooldown anyway.
  • Portal Beasts dealing damage will keep you in combat, stopping you from naturally regenerating health and using stamina to jump/sprint. Keep an eye on both your combat indicator above your Focus, and on your health/stamina to avoid being caught out due to this.

• [E/RB] DISPLACEMENT
  • Griselma has so little movement so use her displacement ability when your HEALTH
    Special resource which represents hero's or creature's life pool, measuring for how long they are able to remain in fight.
    The amount of health is varied between characters. One segment of green bar represents 500 health points. Additional to it resources are TEMPORARY HEALTH (dark green) and SHIELD (light green).
    Taking DAMAGE and using some of the skills reduce health. When health bar reaches 0, hero is defeated and returned to the Airship, while creature just dies.
    Health can be recovered from various sources, while being OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerates it.health is is extremely low.
  • When you are in the portal, you move extremely slowly so get ready to once you enter the battlefield again.
• With the Touch of the Master upgrade, this move can be used to animation cancel. This makes up for the slow movement speed that Griselma has while using the ability.
• While in her portal, Griselma can not be damaged by debuffs. It cleanses on entering, think ahead when fighting enemies with lots of debuff damage like Charnok and Ramsay to get rid of their damage after their cooldowns are spent.

• [F/LS+RT],[LMB/RT] THE ABYSS, Griselma's FOCUS
  Special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
  Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.Focus ability, is capable of dealing enough damage to cause a wound to the enemy guardian if time properly as it could be destroyed easily.
