Strategy/Usage[]
Dark Aegis Garu is an interesting unit, similar to normal Garu like all EPICFEST units are to their UBERFEST counterparts, but still has mostly different usage and an extra ability only gained in his Evolved Form.
Although seeming much better than Garu at first glance, he still shares many of the same weaknesses: High cost, egregiously long recharge time, a long attack animation and slow movement speed, along with no immunities apart from Immune to Waves like some other tankers.
His usage against Traitless enemies varies a lot, notably the best he works against are the weaker ones that are encountered early on in the game, such as Jackie Peng, Hippoe, Le'boin and the like, but those don't matter too much in the grand scheme of things. Generalist value for Dark Aegis Garu is explained more in-depth below, but note that normal Garu still has more generalist usage than Dark Aegis Garu against Traited enemies.
For generalist usage, treat him similarly to Maeda Keiji or Baby Cat, as he has generally similar features to them, while outdoing some of the thing Baby Cat can do, and nearly everything Keiji can do, with the added benefit of being useful without a True Form, as Keiji and Baby Cat are not good until true form. However, his recharge time for a mid-ranger makes him fall behind said Ubers. This can luckily be fixed by getting him to level 40, allowing him to be used safely as an occasional replacement.
At level 50, Dark Aegis Garu will be able to do over 10,000 DPS unstrengthened! You will not regret investing into him. Again, he’s still very hard to use over Cats in the Cradle and Immortal Keiji, and it’s all because of his long recharge and monstrous cost. Luckily, you can potentially be rewarded for your risks.
Against some Traitless enemies Dark Aegis Garu can do very well against, like Dolphina, Dober P.D, Kory, Master A., and Mr. Mer. However, the main problem with some of these enemies is the support they usually come with. For example, R.Ost or Dober P.D usually never come with purely Traitless support, which wraps back around to Dark Aegis Garu's decreased general usage.
