Gisela

Gisela is a Generation 13 Legendary Infantry hero built around Energy generation, short-lived shields and defensive troop support. Oestermore’s youngest Craftsmaster turned being underestimated into an advantage when Phaethon occupied her city. While other inventors were imprisoned, she assembled the machinery that helped free them. Her inventions range from city defenses to a personal shield, while her collaboration with Lloyd produced an exosuit test that became a local legend.

Energy connects her hero-battle skills

Superload grants 50 Energy and gives Gisela five seconds of increased Attack Speed and Defense. At level 5, those increases are 60% and 150%, respectively. Faster attacks matter to her kit because normal attacks also generate Energy through Porta-Shield; the Attack Speed bonus is not an increase to the Attack stat itself.

Steel Hammer deals area damage and grants another 25 Energy per use. Its damage reaches 140% of Attack at level 5. Porta-Shield supplies 3 to 15 Energy per normal attack across its five levels. Reaching 100 Energy activates a shield lasting three seconds, with absorption scaling from 70% to 190% of Gisela’s Attack.

The shield coefficient uses Attack, even though Gisela’s class is Infantry and much of her kit is defensive. The five-second Superload window and three-second shield duration are different timers. A larger Defense value is also not the same thing as a larger shield pool.

Editorial recommendation: evaluate whether Gisela reaches her shield threshold before the opposing burst arrives. Check the timing of normal attacks, Steel Hammer and Superload rather than assuming a fixed number of seconds between shields.

Infantry starts the defense; the formation can benefit

Alloyed Defense has an Infantry-only beneficiary group. Scavengeworks is triggered through Infantry attacks but can benefit the whole formation. Trial Shield is another formation-wide effect, with damage reduction rather than a Defense-stat increase.

The two 40% chances are not guarantees that both skills activate together. Neither should be rewritten as permanent 50% protection or collapsed into an invented average defensive bonus. Scavengeworks lasts one turn.

Helacore

Energy Efficiency adds 15 Energy per normal attack at weapon skill level 5 and strengthens the shield obtained at 100 Energy. Its shield-strength increase is listed as an amount equivalent to 190% of Attack.

Auto-Target increases Defender Troops’ Attack by 15% at skill level 5. That is the weapon’s Expedition effect; it does not alter the Energy threshold or turn Gisela’s personal Exploration shield into a troop shield.

Acquisition and development

Listed routes include Hall of Chiefs, King of Icefield, State of Power, Daily Deals, Hero Rally and Foundry Shop. Check state progression and current rewards for availability. Mythic General Hero Shards can develop Gisela after she has been summoned.

Recruitment requires 10 shards, followed by 1,065 across the five promotion stages, for 1,075 total. Her displayed Infantry Attack and Defense are 1,621.29% each. All hero and weapon figures here are reference values.
