'''Team Support'''
'''Team Support'''


{{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} serves the role of a support unit well, giving his teammates {{Status|en name=Nourishment}}, {{Status|en name=Acceleration}}, and {{Status|en name=Limit}} at reliable rates (boosting their attack, healing them, and giving them passive CP gain). That supportive role is only strengthened with his expanded movement and his resistance to enemy pushback, which allows him to also function as a very capable team ferry.

'''Healer'''
'''Healer'''


Per move, {{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} heals himself and teammates in a large cross area. The wide range supplements his ability as a ferry; this healing combined with his {{Status|en name=Nourishment}} lets Gyumao easily heal other units from a distance after repositioning. In addition, Gyumao's Charge hits the entire enemy board, and per hit, Gyumao heals himself and his teammates in an even wider range. Both of these factors allow Gyumao to grant healing in most team formations and setups.

'''Potent Attackers'''


{{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} offers two relatively-rare offensive buffs, {{Status|en name=Nourishment}} and {{Status|en name=Limit}}, which easily stacks with additional buffs from other units, such as {{Status|en name=Ardor}}, {{Status|en name=Vigor}}, and {{Status|en name=Crit}}.

'''Damage Mitigation'''
'''Damage Mitigation'''


While {{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} offers notable healing, his sole means of defense is his own on-move {{Status|en name=Tenacity}}. As such, another unit who can provide more defenses for the team such as {{Transient icon|Triton}} would be recommended.

'''Other Supports'''
'''Other Supports'''


{{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} lacks the Phase-start {{Status|en name=Crit}} that his vanilla form offers, so while he can use his Charge frequently, it’s not going to do very much damage by itself. Support units who can bolster his attack, such as {{Transient icon|Leanan Sidhe}} or {{Transient icon|Claude|variant=Christmas}}, can be used in instances where you’d like him to nuke the enemy team.

ARs that strengthen {{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}}'s supportive abilities are recommended. {{AR Equipment|en name=OJT: The Gyumao Way}} allows Gyumao to bestow {{Status|en name=Remove Debuff}} to the unit in front every time he’s moved. This works well with his base skillset, as the debuff removal aligns with the {{Status|en name=Nourishment}}, {{Status|en name=Acceleration}} and {{Status|en name=Limit}} that he normally grants.

Alternatively, CP-boosting ARs like {{AR Equipment|en name=Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining}} can be used for frequent Charges, as it grants an additional +10-20 CP each Phase start and stacks with Gyumao’s innate +40 CP.

'''Movement Restriction'''


Moving {{Transient icon|Gyumao|variant=Valentine}} is the only way to utilize most of his skillset; as such, if he gets afflicted with a movement-blocking debuff such as {{Status|en name=Fear}} or {{Status|en name=Paralysis}}, his supportive abilities are completely nullified.
