Overview
Gepard is a 5★ Ice Preservation from Jarilo-VI, playing Support in most teams. Ice Preservation tank with team-wide revive and strong shielding.
How to Play
Gepard stabilizes the team with shields or damage mitigation. Use Skill on cooldown during pressure turns and hold Ultimate for multi-hit boss phases. Maintain shields before enemy big hits, not after the team is already low.

Strengths
Gepard excels in Ice Preservation teams from Jarilo-VI. Strong team amplification that multiplies your carry's output. Signature Light Cone and endgame relics unlock their full ceiling.

Investment Priority

Pull or craft a matching-path 5★ cone if they are a long-term main; otherwise use the best F2P path option at S5.
