Avowed: Giatta Companion and Build Guide
Every team's survival hinges on a healer, and Giatta is the one to fill that crucial role. Her presence is indispensable, especially in the unforgiving conditions of the last region. To enhance her performance and ensure your team's survival, here's the best build for Giatta in Avowed. Best Abilities to unlock for Giatta in Avowed By the end of your Avowed run, you should have around seven points for all Companions. That should give you enough to unlock all four core Abilities and an upgrade for each of them. If you already picked out some of them for Giatta, you can always reset these points for 218 coins to switch things up. For the best of the best, choose the following Giatta Ability upgrades: Purification: Boosted Essence Barrier: Greater Barrier Acceleration: Time Shift/Extended Acceleration Reconstruction: Critical Restore Boosted Essence is the first upgrade you should go for, considering that it heals all allies by 50 percent of their maximum Health. It's always a good idea to improve your Health first in Avowed, as you would with any game. Plus, you'll gain even more HP from Greater Barrier, offering Temporary Health while the shield's active. Enemies will have a much harder time knocking you and your entire team down with the two Ability Upgrades together. Given that each player has a unique playstyle, the choice between Time Shift and Extended Acceleration can be a tough one. Both upgrades offer distinct advantages, and it's up to you to decide which one suits your style best. Personally, I prefer Time Shift for its benefit of reducing active Abilities' Cooldowns by 50 percent. It's a great way to speed up the process and keep the action flowing. Screenshot by Destructoid However, Extended Acceleration can be just as good, increasing this perk's duration by 10 seconds. That means all allies' Move and Attack Speed will be boosted longer, allowing you to move swiftly around the battlefield. If you're a sucker for speedy movements, go for Extended Acceleration, but if you're more in favor of fast Cooldowns, try Time Shift. For the last Ability upgrade, you can go with any of them, as they are all exceptional perks. But, given that you can only choose one, I have to go with Critical Restore. Like Purification, you'll acquire a lot of Health with it, granting each ally a 20 percent Health boost. You could also opt for Reconstruction's Revitalize upgrade, which revives incapacitated allies whenever Giatta kills an enemy. You'll need to revive your allies quite a lot during the mid to late stages, so this perk can come in clutch. Again, it's up to you to decide which is the best for you, whether you need more Health or more ways to return your allies to the field. Best Giatta Abilities, explained If you want a look into each perk for this best Giatta build, here's precisely what they do: Abilities What They Do Purification (Core) Heals allies by 25% of their max Health Boosted Essence (Purification Upgrade) Heals all allies by 50% of their maximum Health Barrier (Core) All allies gain a shield with Temporary Health for 20 seconds Greater Barrier (Barrier Upgrade) When Barrier is active, it increases Temporary Health Acceleration (Core) All allies' Move and Attack Speeds increase for 15 seconds Extended Acceleration (Acceleration Upgrade) Acceleration duration increases by 10 seconds Time Shift (Alternate Acceleration Upgrade) Any Abilities activated while Acceleration is on will reduce Cooldowns by 50% Reconstruction (Core) Giatta's attacks heal all allies with a small amount of HP Critical Restore (Reconstruction upgrade) Increases the healing granted to allies by 20% Best Companion to pair with Giatta in Avowed In addition to Giatta's build, you can improve her performance by pairing her with a suitable ally. Yatzli and Giatta are among the best teammates to use together, providing you with the ultimate Wizard duo. I've used this pair plenty of times in Avowed, and it's saved me every time. While Giatta plays the role of support, Yatzli takes on a relative DPS role and annihilates everyone in her path. Screenshot by Destructoid You could even equip yourself with a grimoire to maximize the acquisition of three powerful Wizards on the field. However, if you want a little more variety, you could sub in Kai to get a Fighter for your team. He's fairly good with offense and taking care of himself with his Abilities.
