[Family Head] Gustang
Rankings
Irregular
Irregular
Gustang's damage is extremely high and won't go out of meta thanks to his AoE Max HP Damage.
His crowd-control capabilities and utility are insane too.
Rapport Item
Special Move - Recitation of Destruction
Gustang recites the Pages of Destruction for 2s, becoming Invincible and Teleporting to the Rear of his allies.
During this time, all enemy movement is frozen for 2s, and a magic circle deals DMG equal to 800% of his ATK 3 times, stunning enemies for 4s.
Active Skill - Banquet of the Blade
Gustang enters Blade Deployment state for 14s, increasing Physical Pierce by 60%. Each time his skills hit an enemy, he throws a blade at the target, dealing DMG equal to 400% of his ATK.
Active Skill - Undying Red Flare
Gustang summons a wall of Burning Flare at the enemy’s end of the battlefield, dealing 800% of his ATK as DMG with each hit for 10s and reducing enemy’s Energy by 200.
Passive - Secret Library
Secret Library appears in the middle of the battlefield each time Gustang uses his Special Move. After applying the effects to all enemies, it evolves with additional effects at each stage.
Stage 1: Unleashes a wave, dealing 800% of Gustang’s ATK as DMG and silencing enemies for 6s.
Stage 2: Summons a powerful wind that knocks back enemies to the battlefield’s edge, dealing 1,000% of Gustang’s ATK as DMG and reducing movement speed by 80% for 10s.
Stage 3: Scatters flames across the battlefield, dealing DMG equal to 60% of Max HP (or 600% of ATK for bosses.)
Gustang gains Immunity to all Status Effects except Sleep.

Notes
Bari is best for overall survivability.
Idea allows him to cast the second Special Move a lot more quickly, decreasing the time it takes him to reach Stage 3 of his Passive.

If upgrading Slot 3 can get your EVA to be higher than the enemy ACC, upgrading Slot 3 could be worth it.
If your Deficit is higher than 300 / 350, Slot 4 Resistances are pretty much ineffective and can be left to +0.
The flat ATK, DEF and HP stats are useless.

Additional Notes
You can decide not to invest in Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage Increase, ATK% and Special Move Pierce, as most of his damage is coming from the Max HP% scaling in the passive. This will make fights easier against Ghost, but that's it.
