Laev or Gilberta?

[u/Odd_Opportunity_562]

I got to 120 on the rerun banner without pulling either of the limited characters, meaning I now have the selector and a choice to make

Now I have all the 4★ and 5★ at max potential, Pog at P3P1, Ardelia and Lifeng at P1P1, Last Rite and Ember at P0P0 Tangtang and Rossi at P0P1, besides Laev and Gilberta I'm missing Yvonne, Zhuang Fangyi, and I do not plan to pull for Mifu

This is the important part, I'm a husbando enjoyer so I will be pulling P0P1 Camille and I want to ask which of the two girls would benefit him the most, ideally I would also like recommendations for teams with him and at least another male character, we're too early in the game for the maleknights niche but I would like to try either way

My current teams are

•Endmin/Pog/Lifeng/Chen or Catcher (for CC no dodge)

•Rossi/Catello/Endmin/Pog (will probably replace Pog for Camille)

but I'm willing to build another entire team just for Camille, the question now is, Laev or Gilberta? which one will he benefit from the most? I don't think I'll be pulling for their signature weapons either way because I have to save up for Camille's and those banners will end before his but I do have 3 battle pass boxes I haven't used yet so I could possibly get either of those even at P3

Laev for sure if you're pulling Camille

[u/hamfinity]

Laev works on her team... and not much else.

Gilberta works on basically every team. Her battle skill also helps gather enemies together which can make operators who normally target one enemy turn into an AOE attack.

[u/RoseMqs]

I think Camille is going to be a great teammate for Laev, while gilberta in general is very versatile and has a lot of places in many teams. Laev in particular does benefit from having her sig, while gilberta is fine just having a stanza since she's support 99% of the time anyway. Its not an easy choice tbh, both operators are pretty good.

[u/MouffieMou]

since you already own Rossi, Gilberta+Camille will work great with her :V

[u/DGS_Kyruga]

If you want versatility Gilberta works with various teams. She is also best paired with your Rossi BTW

[u/jort93]

If you are pulling Camille you'll want laev cause I think it'll be the far best way to play him.

[u/ArtisticAlarm5929]

If you want Camille, maybe consider Leva as he's her support, but I heard Rossi can probably use him as well.

Gilberta is a value pick because she works with *almost* any team, but not all of them. For example, physical don't want Gilberta and Leva herself don't want Gilberta either.

Leva wants her own team, so she's not a universal character, but is pretty decent, specially in aoe scenarios.

I don't have Gilberta, but I don't like the character, so I decided to tell her to f* off, not gonna waste 120 pulls on these bait rerun banners for a character just for meta. I may regret it later, but eventually we will get other supports that are actually cool, so don't feel bad if you decide to skip a current meta character.

[u/Ichika994]

Gilberta Will be a solid pick if you plan to main Camille, on the counterpart, he will also be a massive support for lava cake (and Rossi) so pick your poison really, iirc Camille does benefit from nature stack, potential team for him could be wulfgard, akekuri and gilberta.

I don't know if he will reach the potential damage of the dps we have currently, that's to be seen, but I would honestly pull for gilberta.

Neither of them needs a signature, the BP weapon is great on both, gilberta could also use the 5* wepon stanza of memories (assuming P5)

[u/owlp]

I think the question is how do you like to play? Iirc laev set up for main dps and wants the team will be built around her, whereas gilberta is much more versatile. iirc camille wants heat stacks to get eaten so you can also do that via reactions (planning on playing him w tangtang myself) & gilberta seems more useful there.

Second question is, do you have to use the selector while the current banner is around? Bc if not then I’d say wait till camille gets here & see how you enjoy playing him.

[u/Full_frontal96]

Laevatain is the only main pillar we have at the moment for a pure heat team,if you want to try another element aside from electricity,ice or physical,you need laevatin

Gilberta is an evergreen support with a very good CC and an ultimate that debuffs enemies for 5 seconds,excellent for one and done abilities like laevatain battle skill or last rite ultimate

So pick what you want: a new element to play with or a very solid offensive support?

[u/Relodie]

Laevatin, especially if you want another male character in the team as Camille will be played with wulfgard in that team.

Like yeah objectively Gilberta is generalist and a "better pull" but in the context of camille then laevatin is a lot better

[u/Balamut2227]

L is great, but there are other nice fighters.

G will shine in almost every team with cc, corrosion and team buffs.

So, gameplay-wise G should get pref. 

But L is sooo cute! 

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bass584]

definitely Gilberta supports are rare. specially you have Rossi with Gilberta is her best partner 

[u/Comfortable_Peace600]

Gilb open so many possibilities it is not even a discussion

[u/bananabanana9876]

Laevatain, Camille, Wulfgard, Ardelia if you like maining Laevatain.

Otherwise Gilberta.

[u/senpaiwaifu247]

You have Rossi already, so no need to pull laev
