That's true jth, ariel said that. Tell me why you think Gao is overrated and I can explain why he isn't, you didn't provide any reasons.

Magma bath is a pretty easy outranger stage, Gao 1st form would do something if leveled enough, but ofc the more ranged units would do more there, although they wouldn't do a whole lot, especially asi. Neither asi or Bala will do much of anything for you in whimsy, and again Gao 1st form would do quite well. Gao again does amazing on cuttlefish, and mitama probably gets cursed by loris, if the enemies push very far, loris is gonna end Bala/asi, but Bala does alright if they don't get killed. Okay I'm done going through all your stages that won't prove the argument anyway.

For your definition, that's pretty off from the usual one but not quite as bizarre as I expected. In bc, a unit's general use is usually how good their raw stats (survivabiliy/dps/tba/range) are at any general stage in the game. Usually cc units aren't included in generalists, but I don't mind. Mitama is not garbage in ul lol, she just carries less than she does in every other part of the game. She works excellent for any of the non relic stages when she isn't outranged, and she works great for most relics except loris/dogu, and she's meh for super town mayor/lowkey since they could curse her.

Yeah asi is garbage, 20% slow uptime to everything from long range is all he's got, everything else is garbage (not like 20% uptime is very good at all anyway). Luga cooldown, no dps, long animation, no survivability.

Mitama is helpful in a similar amount of stages to asi/Bala, where they can do something in stages where mitama is outranged, and she works for metal. Except, you aren't considering how good they do in these stages respectively. Bala is good support, considerably more than asi, but he does still have every one of asi's problems. Mitama has way more slow uptime, decent dps, amazing survivability, ld to hit back lines, and anti metal. As for Gao, he works on literally every stage in the game except for metals and a few other things. He is a top midranger and a top general ranged dps, so he works on both rush stages and general stages where the enemies don't have like 500 range.

Let me add to this by reminding you that while Bala just provides light support on most stages and if the enemies push to hard he dies and can't come back due to cooldown. Gao and mitama obliterate a huge amount of stages, throughout sol, itf, event stages, and even some ul stages. I can provide examples if you somehow don't believe this, but there you go.
