Gatekeeper Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) HP Superbane ★★★★★
Atk (9) No Attack IV ★★★☆☆
Spd (4) Spd Bane ★★☆☆☆
Def (10) Def Boon ★★★★★
Res (8) No Res IV ★★★★☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Def/-Spd

The Best IVs for Gatekeeper are +Def and -Spd.

With his superboon in Def, GK gains Def+4, making him a powerful tank. Spd is his ideal dump stat since it is his lowest stat and he will be mostly doing his work in the enemy phase.

+Def for a +10 Merge

If you are trying to merge a +10 Gatekeeper, we recommend +Def.

With a Def asset, Gatekeeper will hit 48 Def, allowing him to perform even better as a tank.

Gatekeeper Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Gatekeeper's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Grants Def+3. Grants Atk/Spd+5 to allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit during their combat. The following effects will occur during unit's combat based on the number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit: if ≥ 1, inflicts Atk/Res-X on foe (X = number of allies in the area × 3; max 9); if ≥ 2, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack); and if ≥ 3, foe cannot make a follow-up attack. (If unit is within 2 spaces of a structure that a foe can destroy, the number of allies in the area is treated as 3.)
Grants Def/Res+5 to allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit during their combat and restores 7 HP to those allies after their combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Res-6 on foe and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials) during combat, and also restores 7 HP to unit after combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Charging Horn

Gatekeeper's refined Charging Horn increases the supportive effects granted to his allies by granting bonus stats and post-combat healing to them.

In combat, refined Charging Horn grants Gatekeeper a true damage reduction effect equal to 20% of his Def and 7 HP post-combat healing.

This refine improves both support and personal combat, making it a great option for team-based strategies.

Gatekeeper is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Gatekeeper Strengths

Uses allies or structures to grant himself bonus effects!

Gatekeeper Debuffs Fire Emblem Heroes FEH.PNG

Charging Horn's debuffs are reflected on this Blue Mage.

With his weapon, Gatekeeper uses the power of friendship to make his allies stronger, granting Atk/Spd+5 to them if they're within 3 rows or columns.

In return, Gatekeeper will grant himself bonus effects during combat depending on the number of allies within 3 rows or columns. The effects are:

  • Inflicts Atk/Res-X on enemy unit during combat if he has ≥ 1 ally (X being the number of allies in the area x 2)
  • Enemy unit cannot make a follow-up attack if he has ≥ 3 allies
  • The above effects will also be granted to him if he is within 2 spaces of a structure that an enemy unit can destroy

This means that Gatekeeper is a beast of a tank and can be very effective in Aether Raids, as he will always be near breakable structures.

New Close Counter effect grants him a boost in Def

If an enemy unit initiates combat, Gatekeeper will grant himself Def+5 and also enable him to counterattack regardless of range.

This means that GK doesn't have to worry about not being able to retaliate against melee units and will also be able to make himself be bulkier.

Detailed Report shuts down Galeforce and Wings of Mercy teams

To suit his status as a guardian to his allies, Gatekeeper's B skill, Detailed Report, gives him the Obstruct effect except it's cranked to 11.

No melee units can walk past him to attack his allies, ranged units cannot do the same with spaces within 2 spaces of him.

The third effect, however, completely shuts down teams that rely on Galeforce and Wings of Mercy in order to clear maps, as it prevents enemy units from warping into spaces within 4 spaces of him.

Gatekeeper Weaknesses

Cannot player phase well

Since nothing on is kit gives him a guaranteed follow-up attack, he is better off receiving enemy unit attacks rather than himself initiating them.

Due to this, a good way to counter him if you're facing against him is to have him initiate combat.

Pass cancels out Detailed Report

While he shuts down teams that rely on Wings of Mercy, Gatekeeper's B skill is shut down if he is facing enemy teams that use Pass.

Certain teams do run Pass in Aether Raids, such as Legendary Sigurd.

    Pretty solid unit and one of my best Green mages. Pair him up with Veyle and they give any third/fourth ally some fancy boosts.
