A Complete Rating Guide To Goalkeepers™ Soccer Spirits
(Updated 27th April 2016)
This rating guide aims to provide my personal, subjective opinions on 3* and above goalkeepers.
Feel free to provide your insights*
Let me know if there is any goalkeeper that you would like me to rate and add to this guide =)
*Will add Irre soon
Goalkeepers being rated:
Ardor: Lucian, Erica, Fuse-Ro, Angela
Whirlwind: Jin, Black Tortoise, Leonard
Thunder: Nute, Mute, Raklet, 83AR Reto, Black Mash, ZUXX Robin
Light: Kei, Isillia, Bartel
Dark: Zibroi, Ronald, Orge, Estella
*Ratings for Players below 5* are based on their ability after being Special Trained to 5*
Information provided for each Goalkeeper:
1) My Rating (S, A, B, C); S being the best, C being the worst
2) Brief Description
3) Skill-Build (PvE, PvP)
4) Spirit Stone Placement Recommendations
5) Recommended Synergy (Backline for PvP)
A Brief Overview of the Current State of Endgame Environment
The purpose of this overview is to provide players with a better understanding of the ratings given in this guide.
It explains the current state of endgame environment and relates to the ability of a goalkeeper to fulfill its purpose.
Purpose of a goalkeeper
To stay alive.
Colosseum of Despair (CoD)
The best goalkeepers of each element, when maxed out, are able to handle damage from CoD strikers up to CoD floor 42.
Zibroi and other gks with 15% self heal do better at surviving late floors of CoD. They also require lesser efforts for backline setups.
PvP (Endgame)
With the PvP heal nerf reversal, self-heal goalkeepers have become relevant once again (Zibroi, Isillia, Lucian etc.)
Maxed out striker damage, w/o elemental advantage, is maxed at ~1000 non critical w/o active pass and ~1500 w/ pass (non-crit).
With the presence of damage reduction totems (magnus, nerua, patricia, chitose, death queen), this damage can be reduced to close to ~700.
Critical hits can go up to 2000~2500 maximum damage to a maxed out top gk like Jin/Kei even with high damage reduction.
Hence, besides damage reduction, a high hp is needed for the goalkeeper against most strikers.
In addition, damage reduction totems are useful in every PvP backline to reduce the damage to close to ~1750 and prevent OHKO.
However, there are exceptions for utility strikers like Ravian, who ignores arbitrary hp values and takes away % hp damage on shot.
Weather Immunity Discussion for Goalkeepers:
The most important weather immunity that a goalkeeper needs is the piercing wind immunity.
Piercing wind weather inflicts 10% hp damage to all players in the team every 3 minutes.
A Look into the Important Stats For A Goalkeeper:
HP (Importance Rating: 8/10): Higher HP helps the goalkeepers to survive against most strikers with exceptions for Ravian
Critical Resistance (Importance Rating: 10/10): Determines if the striker does a critical shot
Damage Reduction (Importance Rating: 8.5/10): Reduces the damage incoming from the striker shot
Reflex (Importance Rating: 7/10): Determines if the goalkeeper may be counter-attacked when holding the ball
Counterattack Resistance (Importance Rating: 7/10): Determines if the goalkeeper may be counter-attacked when holding the ball
Defense (Importance Rating: 2/10): Provides damage reduction also

Thanks for reading =)
(Updated 27th April 2016)
This rating guide aims to provide my personal, subjective opinions on 3* and above goalkeepers.
Feel free to provide your insights*
Let me know if there is any goalkeeper that you would like me to rate and add to this guide =)
*Will add Irre soon
Goalkeepers being rated:
Ardor: Lucian, Erica, Fuse-Ro, Angela
Whirlwind: Jin, Black Tortoise, Leonard
Thunder: Nute, Mute, Raklet, 83AR Reto, Black Mash, ZUXX Robin
Light: Kei, Isillia, Bartel
Dark: Zibroi, Ronald, Orge, Estella
*Ratings for Players below 5* are based on their ability after being Special Trained to 5*
Information provided for each Goalkeeper:
1) My Rating (S, A, B, C); S being the best, C being the worst
2) Brief Description
3) Skill-Build (PvE, PvP)
4) Spirit Stone Placement Recommendations
5) Recommended Synergy (Backline for PvP)
A Brief Overview of the Current State of Endgame Environment
The purpose of this overview is to provide players with a better understanding of the ratings given in this guide.
It explains the current state of endgame environment and relates to the ability of a goalkeeper to fulfill its purpose.
Purpose of a goalkeeper
To stay alive.
Colosseum of Despair (CoD)
The best goalkeepers of each element, when maxed out, are able to handle damage from CoD strikers up to CoD floor 42.
Zibroi and other gks with 15% self heal do better at surviving late floors of CoD. They also require lesser efforts for backline setups.
PvP (Endgame)
With the PvP heal nerf reversal, self-heal goalkeepers have become relevant once again (Zibroi, Isillia, Lucian etc.)
Maxed out striker damage, w/o elemental advantage, is maxed at ~1000 non critical w/o active pass and ~1500 w/ pass (non-crit).
With the presence of damage reduction totems (magnus, nerua, patricia, chitose, death queen), this damage can be reduced to close to ~700.
Critical hits can go up to 2000~2500 maximum damage to a maxed out top gk like Jin/Kei even with high damage reduction.
Hence, besides damage reduction, a high hp is needed for the goalkeeper against most strikers.
In addition, damage reduction totems are useful in every PvP backline to reduce the damage to close to ~1750 and prevent OHKO.
However, there are exceptions for utility strikers like Ravian, who ignores arbitrary hp values and takes away % hp damage on shot.
Weather Immunity Discussion for Goalkeepers:
The most important weather immunity that a goalkeeper needs is the piercing wind immunity.
Piercing wind weather inflicts 10% hp damage to all players in the team every 3 minutes.
A Look into the Important Stats For A Goalkeeper:
HP (Importance Rating: 8/10): Higher HP helps the goalkeepers to survive against most strikers with exceptions for Ravian
Critical Resistance (Importance Rating: 10/10): Determines if the striker does a critical shot
Damage Reduction (Importance Rating: 8.5/10): Reduces the damage incoming from the striker shot
Reflex (Importance Rating: 7/10): Determines if the goalkeeper may be counter-attacked when holding the ball
Counterattack Resistance (Importance Rating: 7/10): Determines if the goalkeeper may be counter-attacked when holding the ball
Defense (Importance Rating: 2/10): Provides damage reduction also
Ardor
> Lucian, The Flame Magician™ (S)Brief Description:

The best goalkeeper atm both PvP & PvE.
