GetianBuild and Guide

Getian is a Reality Support of the Beast Afflatus. He's the first character to make use of the Array mechanic, a field effect that buffs all allies.

Getian's gameplay focuses on his Ultimate “I Shall Walk, Exist, and Know”. It places the Array “A Prophecy Told” in the field for three rounds, granting +20% DMG to all allies or +40% if the ally is Reality type, while inflicting the debuff “Shape of Bones” to all enemies on the field for as long as it remains. Due to this, Getian is best paired with a Reality DMG carry. One of his biggest strengths is the fact that an Array is a persistent field effect rather than a typical buff as we've seen so far, and thus can be stacked with other +DMG Buffs. Furthermore, since there can only be one Array in the field at a time, Getian's Ultimate can be used to cancel enemy bosses' Arrays.

Most of Getian's damage comes from his attack “Admonition”, a Mass Attack targeting all enemies debuffed with “Shape of Bones” cast freely at the end of the round for as long as he has Eureka. Due to this design decision, Getian's skill “Old Bones” doesn't have high multipliers. A simple rundown of his playstyle can be summarized as: Cast Ultimate, merge and move cards to gain moxie and stay ready to renew the Array.

Between Getian's Ultimate and Insight 3 passive, it is very easy to keep the “Shape of Bones” status on all enemies. Please note that any new enemy that enters battle will need to have this debuff applied to them, necessitating another cast of his Ultimate or by using “Old Bones”. Unlike Jiu Niangzi, Getian's [Channel] state doesn't get canceled when he acts, only stopping when he runs out of Eureka, so he can always cast “Unique Bearing” to help keep his Eureka values high.

In conclusion, Getian has a relatively simple and passive gameplay that revolves around managing his resources. He's very effective at what he does — passively dealing damage while augmenting the performance of his Reality damage allies.
