Talk:Shining Amaterasu (Uber Rare Cat)/@comment-35364352-20180823083746/@comment-28739144-20180823135214

Because he IS overrated

He's no better than Amaterasu (Amaterasu deals a bit more DPS, but aside from that, has 1260$ less cost and around 20 seconds lower cooldown), instead Amaterasu is better than him. The difference in range is minuscule (Ama has only 15 less), Higher HP means almost nothing, as they have the same knockback count, so their survivability is almost the same (Plus, there's this thing called Meatshields). Gao's performance against traitless is also mediocre, so just because he's better vs traitless doesn't makes him better generally (Units like Paris exist for traitless as well). Wave Immune is nothing once you gain acess to a Wave Blocker (i.e:Octopus Cat). His crit chance is also too low to be reliable as well.

Despite the fact Gao is basically worse than Ama (Less Cost-Effectiveness compared to her), people place him 2 tiers above her, all because of 2 things that really don't matter. Pretty much the tierlist placement is the main reason why people find Gao better than Amaterasu.

Nearly every unit with wave immunity (except Miyabi Oyama and Anubis) is overrated...

(Btw, i'm not saying this randomly, i used MyGamatoto to compare them)
