Gallagher's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics	Rating & Merits
Passerby of Wandering Cloud x2 Messenger Traversing Hackerspace x2	★★★★★ - Best Gallagher simply needs Outgoing Healing, Speed, and Break Effect to be effective. So a combination of a 2pc. Passerby and a 2pc. Hackerspace set, while relying on BE substats his best relic build.
Thief of Shooting Meteor x2 Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations x2	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best A mix of Thief of Shooting Meteor and Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations is a great alternative since both two-piece sets provide him 16% Break Effect.
Thief of Shooting Meteor x4	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best A full 4 piece set of the Thief of Shooting Meteor relic set can be good for certain situations where you know Gallagher is the one who will do majority of the weakness breaking.
Ornaments	Merits
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern	★★★★★ - Best Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern provides Gallagher with SPD and Break Effect buffs, with the latter being applicable as long as he attacks an enemy with a Fire Weakness.
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best Talia: Kingdom of Banditry can provide Gallagher with a lot of Break Effect which will increase his healing output. This requires Gallagher to have at least 145 SPD.
Broken Keel	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Broken Keel provides Gallagher some Effect RES stats and can provide a CRIT DMG buff to the party if he has at least 30% Effect RES.
