Summoners War: Triple Revenge +0 Speed Gideon RTA Build Guide

To run Gideon on a Triple Revenge, +0 bonus Speed setup in Summoners War World Arena (RTA), drop all Speed substats and slot 2 Speed runes, reallocating every rune roll into Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Attack, and survivability. This turn-two setup turns enemy area-of-effect (AoE) and multi-hit abilities into immediate counterattack opportunities while utilizing turn-manipulation allies like Leo to bypass low natural turn cycling.

Triple Revenge and Zero Speed Mechanics

Standard competitive RTA builds rely on high bonus Speed to cycle abilities before the opponent acts. A Triple Revenge build reverses this priority by stacking three two-piece Revenge rune sets, providing an innate 45% counterattack chance (15% per set).

By intentionally eliminating bonus Speed from rune substats and the slot 2 primary stat:

• Stat rolls concentrate into damage and bulk: Upgrades bypass Speed entirely to maximize Attack%, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and HP%.
• AoE skills trigger retaliations: Multi-target attacks test Gideon's 45% counter chance, allowing him to punish wide damage dealers without waiting for an attack bar fill.
• Multi-hit moves increase trigger consistency: Incoming multi-hit abilities check Revenge activation across the incoming sequence, raising the odds of a retaliatory strike during the opponent's offensive phase.

Rune Stats and Build Thresholds

Because this build avoids Speed, slot 2 must use a percentage-based durability or offensive stat. Balance Gideon's primary stats across slots 2, 4, and 6 to ensure he survives the opening attack while retaining enough damage to eliminate squishy threats.

Key Stat Benchmarks

• Critical Rate: Target 85% to 100% so retaliations reliably crit against neutral targets.
• Critical Damage: Aim for 150% or higher on slot 4.
• Durability Split: Use an HP% rune on either slot 2 or slot 6 if your team lacks heavy shielding. If your draft brings high passive mitigation, you can opt for ATK% on both slots for maximum burst.

RTA Drafting Synergies and Team Compositions

A +0 Speed monster cannot cycle turns independently at a competitive pace. To function effectively, Gideon requires specific team frameworks:

• Leo (Wind Dragon Knight): The core enabler for zero-speed scaling. Leo's passive limits all monster combat speeds to his own, removing Gideon's speed deficit while preserving his higher damage and bulk rolls over faster enemies.
• Revive and Burst Protection (Vanessa, Abellio): Provides an immediate fallback if single-target nukers focus Gideon down before he can retaliate.
• Immunity and Sustain (Woosa, Riley): Protects Gideon from crowd control and stat debuffs while sustaining him against attrition.
• Passive Cleanse and Frontline Threats (Tetra, Feng Yan): Discourages continuous debuff stacking and prevents opponents from isolating Gideon freely.

Draft Counters and Failure Points

Do not pick +0 Speed Gideon into every enemy composition. Watch for these specific draft counters:

1. Hard Crowd Control: Units with stuns, freezes, or sleep prevent Revenge procs entirely. If the opposing team brings heavy, high-accuracy control units (such as Cheongpung, Haegang, or Tomoe), Gideon can be locked down before dealing damage.
2. Ignored Targeting: If an opponent avoids striking Gideon and instead eliminates his supports, Gideon's low turn cycling leaves him vulnerable to being picked off last in a 1v3 or 1v4 scenario.
3. Attack Breaks and Glancing: Debuffs drastically reduce Gideon's counterattack damage. Pair him with high-Resistance checks or reliable cleansers if facing heavy debuff teams.
