Overview

"I'll teach you...how to fight"

Backstory

Gordeau the Harvester was once a member of the Amnesia organization. One day during a war against the Bankikai, his friend Roger ends up getting turned into a Void due to an unfortunate chain of events. Roger died that day at the hands of the Crimson Knight of Licht Kreis, Erika Wagner, and Gordeau, injured from the battle, could do nothing but watch it happen. After this, Gordeau leaves Amnesia to pursue revenge for his fallen friend instead. Since then, Gordeau has participated in many Hollow Nights, hoping to encounter the Crimson Knight of Licht Kreis again and avenge Roger.

Playstyle

Gordeau wields a scythe called the Demon Sickle "Devourer" that he can summon at will. The Scythe is very large and has a lot of reach. As a result, you'll find that Gordeau has normals, specials and partner skills that have a lot of reach and hit in wide arcs. This allows Gordeau to control a lot of ground space in neutral, making it difficult for others to approach him freely.

Although Gordeau is capable of controlling a lot of space thanks to his scythe, whiffing these scythe normals put him at a severe disadvantage because they have a lot of recovery, often leaving him open to being punished. Gordeau also doesn't move very fast. To make the most of Gordeau, you'll need to learn to judge your spacing well and optimally make use of his long reaching options.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • great range on his scythe normals
  • one of the easier characters to learn and play, with easy to execute combos to boot.
  • excellent 2b anti-air, be careful before you decide to airdash on top of him
  • command grab that steals meter which can connect with an enemy in the air and the ground.
  • S-tier assists
  • his 5P "grim reaper" is stupidly good in most situations regardless of whether your opponent is in the air or on the ground, and is very easy to combo into
  • this makes him probably one of the best "team players" in the whole game.
  • above average health
  • good reversal action/DP that can even be used in the air
  • you have enough time to take a sip of your redbull by the time his 5C comes out and actually hits you
  • somewhat slow in general
  • overall options are somewhat limited when compared to better characters, specifically when on the ground, so just block low
  • most low-to-mid level gords will spam 5BB, so just raw super his ass
  • quite a bit weaker by himself
  • has various moves that are pretty unsafe without an assist to help him


EXS of Greed : Snatcher

Gordeau EXS gives him the unique ability to form purple claws on his right hand that he can use to rip pieces of a person's soul from them. In Under Night in Birth, this unique ability was adapted into his gameplay by allowing his Assimilation command grabs to steal GRD. However, in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, this ability allows Gordeau to steal a small chunk of his opponent's Skill Gauge instead.

The following moves will steal a bit of the opponent's Skill Gauge on hit:

  • The fourth move of his A Smart Combo (5AAAA)
  • All versions of Assimilation
  • Gordeau's Rusty Nails assist
