they removed the 99999 damage threshold so I can finally see my units hit for 150k dmgs? :D

I don’t know OP’s exact setup, and I don’t have UDX Galahad, so it’s hard for me to do an exact test, but I did something similar with UDX Kat and Summer Silver.

UDX Kat’s Blizzard does ~85K. I never saw Scattered Petals, but in my experience it’s similar or maybe a bit stronger, so let’s just say she caps out at 170K. I think based on OP, Galahad can do ~200K.

For Silver, I only have Lightning Slasher, so I swapped Jo for GLEX Leon for the damage buff passive. I also used Exhale since Silver has that anyway. And I just used a full OD combo including Imperial Glory. With that setup, she does about 65K / slash, so she caps out at around 260K damage with this setup. It’s not quite a fair comparison since OP is not using a full combo or Imperial Glory. I have no idea how much more damage Galahad can do with that, but probably not much more than 260K. OP brings up the fact that he can counter. Silver can as well.

Just for the heck of it, I did a similar setup with Roufas in Deadly Pierce which did 80+110K=190K with Gun & Blade. Against a slash-weak enemy, he will deal about 160K with Unsheathe. He is worshipped, but IMO he’s much better just on turn 1. Silver can even outdo him in this setup… but that’s taking advantage of Over Tension that Roufas doesn’t have.

My conclusion is that Summer Silver, Galahad, and UDX Kat are probably all underrated… Silver the most even though she’s generally rated a tier higher than the other two (she has other uses with Storm Roar after all). I think as others have brought up, Cold burst / sustain damage is a bit niche, so they’re just not useful in a wide variety of scenarios or for farming as much, and people rightly don’t like the lack of consistency.

I think Summer deserves to be a tier above the other two. Galahad is probably better than Kat since his burst is better, but she can do the 8-0-8 cycle with Blizzard or use 3 in a row at full BP versus Galahad only using 2 of his most powerful attacks. FWIW, he also has Delay.

Ty for the indepth response, I appreciate it. I started around when summer Silver ended so i missed her, but i rem reading that she was one of the better options on her banner.

I totally forgot about Roufas even though everyone talks about him.

The delay on BoF doesn’t bother me. Allows for buffs to be set before he goes. Does delay affect combo chance?

Took me a minute to get the right rng to set this up. No winterstorm but the trend i’ve seen is it does about half the damage of BoF so about 60-70k damage. Meaning 200k+ damage is Pretty nuts.

Don’t think any other unit can reach that no?

I don't even need to know the math to say Roufas outdamages by a mile

It's a powerful skill with the followup, but it's by no means the strongest (a non-exhaustive list assuming double buffed SS weapons [aka not Ellen yet/Roc should be a bit lower until we get a 45 Staff she can use]; Kat will have a lower overall passive multiplier bonus in a combo):
