Gualgui

Gualgui is the newest addition to Captain Copperbeard's crew. She‘s a dark sorcerer who has spent many years in the Desert Wasteland. She’ll bring back a much needed set of powers to the team, making the Space Raiders stronger than ever. Take that, Space Corsairs!

Role: Denier/Curser

Overview
Gualgui is a Magic denier with access to a whopping seven tortures in her skillset. This effectively allows her to kill off enemies while they're immobilized with CDA, her main form of denial. Speaking of tortures, her trait gives her entire team Torture Immunity as a Status Caster as well as giving herself Hardened and Possession Immunity. She is also able to remove stamina with not just stamina-draining tortures, but also 50% and AoE 30% Stamina Removal. Her trait is great but she has very few and no AoE damaging skills, hindering her good relic slots. Gualgui is also weak against Dodge Area due to her tortures mainly being AoE and is nearly useless as a Curser against, ironically, Torture Immunity.

Pros:


 * Great stats and trait
 * Access to 7 tortures
 * Very low stamina costs
 * Low cooldowns
 * Song of The Drowned and Curse of Ancestors bypass Dodge Area

Cons:


 * Very few and no AoE damaging skills, hindering her relic abilities
 * Most tortures are AoE, making her weak to Dodge Area

Counters

 * Freeze and Stun can take care of her nicely. A monster that can freeze or stun and deal decent damage works very well against this crazy curser.
 * O'Reilly can dodge a lot of her AoE moves, as well as being a Nature monster with Stun.
 * Gualgui uses many DoTs which is her main way of dealing damage. Warmaster Babari, Olnir, or another Gualgui can counter her, mainly because of their Torture Immunity, and relatively low stamina costs and cooldowns. Yedra is a great counter due to her elemental advantage.
 * Warmaster Sherezar and Qinling both have the Cooldown Protection status caster, which will protect their allies from Gualgui's CDA.
 * Monsters with NER like Positron and Tayni can remove all her tortures.
