Best Giatta Build

Each companion in Avowed has four main abilities, each with unique upgrades. To maximize Giatta’s potential, you’ll want to focus on healing, shields, and buffs.

Recommended Ability Upgrades:

• Purification (Boosted Essence) – Doubles the healing, making it one of the strongest recovery abilities in Avowed.
• Barrier (Greater Barrier) – Increases the temporary health granted to allies, making fights much easier to manage.
• Acceleration (Extended Acceleration) – Prolongs the attack and movement speed buff, allowing for sustained offensive pressure.
• Reconstruction (Critical Restore) – Increases passive healing for low-health party members.

Giatta’s Abilities, Explained

Purification (Boosted Essence)

• Effect: Heals all allies (including Giatta) for 25% of their max HP.
• Cooldown: 60 seconds.
• Why It’s Good: This is one of the strongest group heals in the game, and with Boosted Essence, it restores 50% HP instead.
• Alternative Upgrade: Essence Pressure adds a knockback effect, making it useful for interrupting enemies.

Barrier (Greater Barrier)

• Effect: Grants a shield that absorbs incoming damage for all allies.
• Duration: 20 seconds.
• Cooldown: 75 seconds.
• Why It’s Good: Shields are invaluable against high-damage enemies, and Greater Barrier boosts the amount of protection granted.
• Alternative Upgrade: Medic Shielding heals allies after the shield expires, which is useful for longer fights.

Acceleration (Extended Acceleration)

• Effect: Increases attack and movement speed for 15 seconds.
• Cooldown: 80 seconds.
• Why It’s Good: The extra speed is great for dodging attacks and increasing DPS. Extended Acceleration adds another 10 seconds to the buff, making it last even longer.
• Alternative Upgrade: Time Shift reduces ability cooldowns while Acceleration is active, which is useful for spell-heavy builds.

Reconstruction (Critical Restore)

• Effect: Giatta’s attacks passively heal allies.
• Why It’s Good: With Critical Restore, healing is stronger for allies under 20% HP, making it a great emergency sustain tool.
• Alternative Upgrade: Revitalize lets Giatta revive an ally when she lands a killing blow, though she’s not the best at dealing damage.
