Discussion to the Latest Goalkeeper Balancing & Ratings™
(18th December 2015)
I am here again ~!!
This time, to discuss about the latest goalkeepers buffs/nerfs and the change in PvP meta.
Feel free to comment, reply & share your thoughts ~!!
The Latest Goalkeeper Tier & Ratings:
Affected Players: Kei, Jin, Raklet, Lucian
Related Players: Isillia, BT, Nute (mainly the critical resistance reliant goalkeepers) due to raklet totem removal
Change in PvP GK meta: Critical Resistance meta to High HP + damage reduction totems meta
Goals of a PvP Goalkeeper:
Strikers now are able to achieve high critical rate w/ active to overcome goalkeepers with high critical resistance.
These strikers, such as William, Beatrice are able to deal >3500 damage to goalkeepers without block nor damage reduction totem.
Even with damage reduction totems, legendary strikers such as William are capable of hitting up to >2500 damage.
As critical resistance reliant goalkeepers have generally low HP, hence, they are susceptible to OHKOs by these strikers.
With the change to raklet, this removes 1 of the only 2 critical resistance/debuff totem in game that provides HP (only jin left)
Therefore, high HP goalkeepers with high damage reduction coupled with damage reduction totem (such as magnus, nerua, patricia, death queen, chitose) is the more desired backline atm.
Hence comes the change. Our new S rating goalkeeper, both PvE & PvP
Lucian, with the current EE and HP buff, is capable in achieving both goals:
Jin shares the S PvP rating with Lucian, due to his:
Zibroi & Kei
Black Tortoise & Isillia (Critical Resistance Reliant GKs)
For Nute, it is straightforward that her maximum possible critical resistance has dropped by 25% due to raklet removal.
But due to the fact that Nute has lower base HP and lower innate damage reduction, its hard for her to buff up her HP.
Last but not the least, Raklet (B+ > S- PvP rating)
The good news?
The S- ratings goalkeepers are capable of helping anyone get to Galaxy League (Highest PvP league level).
You have a few to choose from.
You just need to adapt to the meta and build your backline the right way.
All the way to Galaxy League peps !!~

The Latest Goalkeeper Tier & Ratings:
Affected Players: Kei, Jin, Raklet, Lucian
Related Players: Isillia, BT, Nute (mainly the critical resistance reliant goalkeepers) due to raklet totem removal
Change in PvP GK meta: Critical Resistance meta to High HP + damage reduction totems meta
Goals of a PvP Goalkeeper:
- The first and foremost goal for a PvP gk is, to survive OHKO and for a counter.
- The second goal will be to have high critical resist, to have a chance to avoid critical hits from normal shots from the strikers.
Strikers now are able to achieve high critical rate w/ active to overcome goalkeepers with high critical resistance.
These strikers, such as William, Beatrice are able to deal >3500 damage to goalkeepers without block nor damage reduction totem.
Even with damage reduction totems, legendary strikers such as William are capable of hitting up to >2500 damage.
As critical resistance reliant goalkeepers have generally low HP, hence, they are susceptible to OHKOs by these strikers.
With the change to raklet, this removes 1 of the only 2 critical resistance/debuff totem in game that provides HP (only jin left)
Therefore, high HP goalkeepers with high damage reduction coupled with damage reduction totem (such as magnus, nerua, patricia, death queen, chitose) is the more desired backline atm.
Hence comes the change. Our new S rating goalkeeper, both PvE & PvP
Lucian, with the current EE and HP buff, is capable in achieving both goals:
- Reasonably high critical resistance (~170%)
- Goes up to >3,000 HP with 2 hp totem + block to survive OHKO
- Shares the S rating with Zibroi as the best PvE goalkeeper due to condition-less damage reduction
Jin shares the S PvP rating with Lucian, due to his:
- High critical resistance
- Reflex debuff totem
- High HP
- Capable of surviving OHKO with the right damage reduction totem
Zibroi & Kei
- Have significantly lower critical resist;
- But are capable of achieving high HP (>3,000 HP) to survive OHKO with the respective damage reduction totem in line.
- The 40% hp buff to zibroi + the change in meta, resulted in an elevated PvP rating for zibroi from A to S-.
- Kei has block for better survivability also. Kei retains his PvP S- ratings.
Black Tortoise & Isillia (Critical Resistance Reliant GKs)
- Despite having lower HP, can still survive OHKO from most strikers with the right HP (>2,500 HP) and damage reduction totems;
- They might have to give up buffing their critical resistance to adapt to the current meta (HP + Damage reduction totem).
- This is also due to the fact that the only critical rate debuff totem with HP buff left is Jin.
- Raklet has been removed and other critical rate debuff totems do not give HP buff.
- The main reason why BT and Isillia keep their S- rating is because they provides damage reduction to their PvP backline which is a huge advantage
For Nute, it is straightforward that her maximum possible critical resistance has dropped by 25% due to raklet removal.
But due to the fact that Nute has lower base HP and lower innate damage reduction, its hard for her to buff up her HP.
Last but not the least, Raklet (B+ > S- PvP rating)
- With the meta change, raklet high HP becomes viable of some sort.
- A picture speaks a thousand words.
- As you can see from the pictures, there is no damage reduction totem involved, against William.
- With the right damage reduction totem, the damage can be further reduced, making raklet a viable PvP Galaxy League goalkeeper.
The S- ratings goalkeepers are capable of helping anyone get to Galaxy League (Highest PvP league level).
You have a few to choose from.
You just need to adapt to the meta and build your backline the right way.
All the way to Galaxy League peps !!~
