Similar to its original counterpart, Gigahaniwan boasts a massive amount of HP that is exacerbated by the scaling buffs from its Gauntlet, does not get knocked back until death, and can inflict a variety of debuffs which have a higher individual chance and longer duration of 3 seconds. Its attack power is lower than a normal Haniwanwan's even in Excavation Lv.MAX, but this is mitigated by it now using an Area Attack with 350 range, almost triple that of a normal Haniwanwan, along with its Mini-Wave being upgraded to a full Wave Attack that deals much more damage. Additionally, Gigahaniwan's abilities cannot be disabled by Curse, making it all the more difficult to deal with unless the units you are using are immune to its plethora of different debuffs it can inflict.
Strategy[]
In Excavation Lv.MAX, Gigahaniwan is supported by Lutrinae Gokurakkos, making Surge Attackers risky to use unless most of your army is immune/resistant to Surges. True FormUncanny Legends drop units such as Ape Lord Luza and Awakened Naala are incredibly helpful, and Mystic Uril will also be of great help- especially in his True Form. Unfortunately, Luza's and Uril's lack of Wave immunity will eventually chip them down, and Naala does not outrange, but their attacks and crowd control will greatly hinder Gigahaniwan.
Immortal Kenshin will be of great help with the Knockback and Immune to Curse Talents, though she may struggle as the battle drags on.

Gigahniwan is the only Colossus whose English description says "ancient lab" rather than "secret lab". This is closer to Ancient Laboratory, a literal translation of the Japanese name of Laboratory of Relics, which is mentioned directly in most Colossus enemies' Japanese descriptions.
Gigahaniwan is the first enemy to be immune to Curse.
Gigahaniwan currently has the highest HP pool of any Colossal enemy in the game, with its LVL 20 baron stage having it at a whopping 5,000,000 HP.
