Discussion on: Should you recall Luka or Silla?
soccerspirits.freeforums.net/thread/378/recall-luka-silla
After Luka and Silla, let's have a look at Gerrard recall.
We all know he is not the main protagonist in this nerf drama but his recall is going to prove to be way more useful than Luka or Silla recall.
Before everything, we have to praise Bigball for Gerrard new art change.
The new Gerrard artwork is AWESOME !!~^
First, let's take a look at the circumstances which resulted in Gerrard's recall.
Gerrard got an extreme evolution (EE) and his passive skills were changed.
So what was so special about the changes to Gerrard passive skills that resulted in a recall?
Let's examine the 25th May Update Patch for other EEs:
soccerspirits.freeforums.net/thread/367/update-patch-notes-soccer-spirits
From the previous patch, we could see that if the changes at EE work in favor for the player, no recall is given.
Does this imply that the changes to the EE skills didn't work in favor for Gerrard?
That seems to be what Bigball is implying.
Now let's have a look at Gerrard skill changes.
- Passive ‘Cruelty’ has been changed to ‘Ghost of Battle.’ (Lv. 5)
> Cruelty: Increases the Attack Power by 30% for 15 min with every attack (Accumulated up to 5 times).
> Ghost of Battle: Increases the Attack Power by 30% and the reflexes by 30% with an attack.
- Passive ‘Frenzy’ has been changed to ‘Zone Weakening.’ (Lv. 5)
> Frenzy: Increases critical rate and Attack Power by 40% when your HP is below 80%.
- Passive ‘Zone Weakening’ will be changed to ‘Zone Pressure’ at Extreme Evolution (Lv. 5)
> Zone Weakening: Decreases defense by 20% and critical resistance of enemies within the position by 10% for 6 min, with a penetration.
> Zone Pressure: Decreases defense by 30% and critical resistance of enemies within the position by 20% for 6 min, with a penetration or a pass.
Comparisons:
Beats me.
Regardless, Gerrard is getting a recall.
Now the question is, should you recall Gerrard?
There are 2 ways we can look at this.
Evaluating Gerrard's PvE * PvP Functions
Gerrard, is a 40% critical rate totem
Gerrard, is a 30% defense debuff and 20% critical resistance debuff line totem if he penetrates or pass.
Gerrard, gains 30% attack power and reflexes when attacking.
P v E :
Hence, you can see that Gerrard has low value, for both PvE and PvP.
If we recall Gerrard, who should we recall him for?
The 4 players I have in mind for you are:
Should you recall Gerrard for the recommended players?
Yes, you should. But which one?
I've described the key functions of each player. So it is up to you to decide.
Conclusion:
It is a blessing in disguise that Gerrard recall proves to be way more useful than Luka * Silla recalls.
You could use Gerrard recall, to superb/obtain useful players to help you progress in PvE.
I would recommend most people to recall Gerrard, for one of the 4 recommended players above
Good luck !!~^

Comparisons:
- 30% reflex increase on attack now.
120% attack power less based on 5 stacks max - 40% critical rate and attack power drop (conditional)
Decrease enemy defense by 30% and critical resistance by 20% with a penetration or pass
The 1st change was a buff of 30% reflex on first attack and a drop of attack power on subsequent attacks.
However, in PvP or PvE, you might die quite often so the truth is, you cannot really get to 5 stacks.
The 2nd change were apples and oranges, they cannot really be compared.
This is the same for Angela skills, a total revamp was done. But Angela didn't get a recall.
So what is going on here? Why did Gerrard get a recall?
Beats me.
Regardless, Gerrard is getting a recall.
Now the question is, should you recall Gerrard?
There are 2 ways we can look at this.
- Is Gerrard actually useful?
- Could Gerrard be recalled for someone more useful?
Evaluating Gerrard's PvE * PvP Functions
Gerrard, is a 40% critical rate totem
Gerrard, is a 30% defense debuff and 20% critical resistance debuff line totem if he penetrates or pass.
Gerrard, gains 30% attack power and reflexes when attacking.
P v E :
- Critical rate totem -- Useless
- Critical resistance debuff totem -- Useless
- 30% Defense Debuff totem -- Barely helps to increase damage -- Useless
- Self Buff - Useless
We can conclude that Gerrard is useless in PvE.
P v P :
P v P :
- The only useful totem that Gerrard has, are his critical rate totem & critical resistance debuff totem.
- However, if you put him at frontline, his critical resistance debuff totem is unlikely to proc.
Because, most people use an IC assist and enemy will be holding the ball after your striker shots. - Most people would put Gerrard at middle, hoping he brings the ball to the front and do a pass.
- So, is Gerrard value in PvP high?
Without reflex totem to mid-line, HP/reflex or critical resistance totem to backline, his PvP value is medium-low.
These days, most people value line totems that help one another to create reflex walls in mid.
In addition, Gerrard will be an open hole in midline for enemy to penetrate through.
Hence, you can see that Gerrard has low value, for both PvE and PvP.
If we recall Gerrard, who should we recall him for?
The 4 players I have in mind for you are:
- Yuri
Good frontline totem for PvE with Endless Burning Matter (EBM)
3 spu is recommended* - Lynia
Useful PvE speed/reflex totem with Silent Cold (SC) for Colosseum of Trials (CoT)
Useful in PvP mid-lines and for mono thunder mid too
0 spu is sufficient for PvE CoT* Unless you are using her for PvP. - Hildegard
Useful key player in Colosseum of Trials (CoT)
Check out our club leader CoT 50 clears playlist:
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvWweiOI3-1A6D5R_cqC7ecRm0Oo8gWvS
Fspu recommended* - Vermillion Bird
Capable of clearing CoT 5-9 though not the only player capable of doing it
But 5-9 is easiest to clear with V.bird, compared to Duke/Enthia.
Fspu recommended* - Some other options include enthia for 5-9, Dale/Jheet for mono-dark PvP or mikael for his hp/reflex/atk power totem
Should you recall Gerrard for the recommended players?
Yes, you should. But which one?
I've described the key functions of each player. So it is up to you to decide.

It is a blessing in disguise that Gerrard recall proves to be way more useful than Luka * Silla recalls.
