Overview

☆3/☆4 Ganglie
Ganglie specializes in ensuring his team is buffed with the rare status 
DEF UpDEF Up by 0.9x ~ 0.45x for 4 turns (Buff) with both his skill Battlefield Rigger and his CS. However, because the effect level of this buff from the CS depends on the difficult-to-upgrade SALV, and because buffs of the same name do not overwrite, Ganglie's CS may actually work against his favour in preventing a fully leveled DEF UpDEF Up by 0.9x ~ 0.45x for 4 turns (Buff) buff from Battlefield Rigger.
☆4 Desert Journey Ganglie
Ganglie rises gloriously with a brand-new event variant and a lot of things going on for him. For one, he has an incredible Charm-inflicting skill with an unprecedented proc rate that can further be bolstered by Insight and/or Concentration and abused by his own Combo, which by itself also abuses his Weakness from the same skill, making for a very oppressive ally to whatever ends up caught in his stunning (pun intended) attacks. He also attains an immediate Charge when he enters the fray just like Christine does, which can let him gain some offensive momentum. He has a lot of strengths that he can easily abuse by himself, but outside of the targets he’ll be stunning, he has no way to protect himself, making defensive buffs a highly recommended thing for him, especially when facing Grass.
Highlights

☆3/☆4 Ganglie
Class: Tank, Defensive Support
Gameplay role:
Pros
+ Standard Tenacity on demand to increase his durability.
+ A fantastic LB3 that makes everyone around him more durable, while making him all the more durable.
Cons
- Fairly useless Default.
- LB1 heal can be easily outdone by constant damage.
- LB3 is, sadly, worse than other contenders (Aizen, Snow, Tangaroa) due to its proc nature, despite it having a guaranteed proc rate.
- Charge is underwhelming, with effects vastly outdone by LB3, eventually.
☆4 Desert Journey Ganglie
Class: Glass Cannon
Gameplay role:
Pros
+ Default allows him to reach his Charge dramatically fast, which allows him and his allies to gain CP momentum thanks to Accel.
+ LB2 Charm comes with a stunning and unprecedented proc rate that allows him to greatly shut down whatever enemies he hits.
+ LB3 comes packed with quite a lot of things, namely Combo and Weakness, which synergize tremendously with each other to quite increase his damage, with an added bonus of erasing Skill Seal, which usually helps him.
Cons
- LB1 is the most underwhelming part of his skills, self-Cleanse has never been too good to help erase crippling ailments and the damage bonus is usually useless.
- Similar to Christine, his default will only work once through the entire battle, which leaves him with LB2 and LB3 to work with.
