Quick Links
WhenStrinovawas first officially launched, it already had a decent pool of 17 characters for everyone to use. However, not long after release, the developers surprised everyone with another new character in the form of Galatea. Her beautiful design already had the community head-over-heels for her.
Apart from that, she’s also one of the most fun characters to play once you unlock her. Thankfully, you’re able to use Galatea on both attack and defense, and she can provide a ton of value on both sides.
Galatea Abilities, Explained
Much likeevery other character, Galatea also hasthree abilities in her kit including her skill, passive, and ultimate. However, all three of her abilities are closely linked:
Wild Card
Galatea will throw a card in an arc-shaped projectile. When this card hits a wall or the floor, it’llcreate her mirror image at the spot, which you’re able to teleport to.
Deception
Whenever you unstick from a wall, you leave a wall decoy behind. Your decoys canreveal the enemy locations that come in its line of sightand also expose enemies that hit them.
Mirage
Once ready, this skill can throw three cards in a triangular pattern, with themiddle one going at the location where you’re aiming. Galatea can freely teleport to all the decoys formed by these cards.
Best Galatea Loadout
If you’ve been playing Strinova for a little while, you likely already know just how important a character’s loadout can be. With the right secondary weapon and tactical times,you can significantly increase the superstring’s power. For Galatea, the best secondary weapon to use is the Athena pistol.
This will help you get some shots in on a faraway enemy and also defeat them ifthey’re on low health with no bullets in your primary weapon. As for tactical items, you can have a specific playstyle on her if you use both smoke bomb and flashbang. This starts with you smoking off the location where you’re throwing the decoy.
you’re able to also use the smoke to block different paths of an area, but it’sbest used in the way mentioned abovefor Galatea.
Once your decoy is smoked, you can teleport to it andthen flashbang out of it. Thiswill help you easily defeat the enemies nearby, even if they’re expecting you. Galatea’s Snap awaken ability is better overall but you’d want to activate the Castling one if you’re planning to use this playstyle since you can get a pick and then teleport back.
On the other hand, Snap makes the overall gameplay a lot easier with this character since you’re able to simplyteleport behind an enemy and have a good three seconds to position yourself. Apart from these, here are some important upgrades for her:
Tips To Play Galatea
Other than using the right loadout and understanding her abilities, Galatea is one of thefew characters that can be significantly hard to master. However, these tips will make it a bit easier:
