Revision as of 00:34, 16 February 2019
Gaianon G2, known as Gigant Gaia (ギガントガイア, Giganto Gaia) in Japan, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-67 Random Booster Vol. 5 Gigant Gaia.Q.F on December 28th, 2016. It later debuted in western countries with the release of the Gaianon G2 & Doomscizor Dual Pack.
Description
Gaianon G2 is a Balance Type Energy Layer featuring two rows of four blades resembling stones, two golem heads on either sides like the Layer's namesake, the Greek Primordial Deity Gaia, and a large 'G' around the center of the Layer.
The direction, shape and downward angle of the two rows of "stones" are similar to the blades of Wyvron except that the stones are much thicker and the angle that they protrude from is more obtuse, like the blades of Victory Valkyrie. The sides two golem heads create points of Burst Attack and the top of the heads create a smooth, low-recoil surface. This is meant to give Gaianon G2 a mix of Defense and Attack properties, however, the angle and spacing between the stones are too small for decent Attack potential.
Instead, Gaianon G2's potential lies within Defense; the stones deflect attacks creating a low recoil surface perfect for KO Defense Combinations and the teeth on the Takara Tomy release of Gigant Gaia alternate between "medium tall" to "short" giving Gigant Gaia strong Burst resistance, greater than Wyvern due to the similar blades and stronger teeth. However, this Layer's Stamina is only average compared to Layers such as Wyvern, Odin or Neptune, giving combinations using Gigant Gaia a risk of being Out Spun.
Use in Defense Combinations
Gigant Gaia can be used in the Defense Combination Gigant Gaia Heavy/Gravity/0/2/4/5/7 Cross/Glaive Unite/Bite/Defense. The heavy weight of Heavy/Gravity/0/2/4/5/7 Cross/Glaive further bolsters Gigant Gaia's KO resistance and Stamina while the Layer's teeth can compensate for the greater Burst risk. Unite/Bite adds greater KO resistance but reduces Stamina, Defense can bolster KO resistance, Stamina and Burst resistance but not to the same degree as the other Performance Tips.
Overall
Gigant Gaia is a great Energy Layer for Defense with strong KO resistance and stronger Burst resistance. However, the Layer is still outclassed by Neptune, Wyvern and Odin due to its only average Stamina. Furthermore, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, Gigant Gaia has become too light to be competitive.
As such, Gigant Gaia is recommended for collection purposes only.
Differences in the Hasbro Version
Hasbro's Gaianon G2 is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Gigant Gaia with the same strong Burst resistance and Defense potential. However, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, Gaianon G2 is now too light to be competitive.
As such, Gaianon G2 is also recommended for collection purposes only.
