Focus on Destroying Gepard's Toughness

It's best to focus on destroying Gepard's toughness, even when he summons allies with him. He deals more damage than any of the enemies combined!

Defeat the Silvermane Cannoneer

Gepard can also summon a Silvermane Cannoneer and when they appear, defeat them immediately. This enemy can destroy shields and deals a significant amount of DMG on your character's health!
