Toxic Blade – While Toxic Blade is a viable option for most gods who use their basic attacks often, we recommend using Contagion or Pestilence over this one for Gilgamesh because of how much his protections also boost his abilities. These are some of the best options to consider whenever you need additional anti-heal on your team. Mail of Renewal (Physical and Magical protection, health). Breastplate of Valor (Physical protection). When you want to lean into Gilgamesh’s defenses, and turn him into a tough to down god, consider these physical or magical defense options. Another downside is that none of his abilities heal him, so if you pick attack speed, we recommend making sure Gilgamesh has some form of lifesteal to keep him in the fight longer. It doesn’t do anything else for the rest of the game, so you want to lean into his attack speed. A downside to him is the fact his passive doesn’t really do much once he’s completed both of his quests, and he has all of his items. He’ll be able to fight up close against other enemy gods, and he’ll work pretty similar to Osiris and Bellona. When playing as Gilgamesh, we feel he can be a powerful warrior who uses his attack speed buff to turn him into a dangerous bruiser. The final choice, Reinforced Greaves, pairs will with warding sigil to further boost Gilgamesh’s protections.
When you’ve chosen to go with warrior’s axe or bluestone pedant, we recommend using Warrior’s Tabi to increase your physical power.
For those who are going down the route of using death’s toll, you want to go with Ninja’s Tabi to further boost Gilgamesh’s attack speed. Once you’ve chosen your starter item, that will determine Gilgamesh’s boots.
