PVP
Gray is a phenomenal unit to build on launch that is going to be be highly effective in a lot of content for the first couple of weeks:
His personal damage is reasonable, with his S1 being decent and having the chance to increase his turn meter on Crits. As for his S2, it gives the whole team a [CRIT RATE+] buff while also giving him an extra turn so he can use his S3 right after - it does very good damage, while also applying a [DEF-]. Just keep in mind that you need to first Crit to have a chance to apply the DEF down and then you also need to win the Effect Acc/Effect RES check.
Gray is good in a lot of general content, and is highly effective in DokiDoki as he has type advantage. He will work great with units such as Freya and Beyontin, as Freya and Beyontin both increase his [ATK] and Beyontin his [CRIT DMG].
Crit Rate+ is a rare and powerful buff in early/mid-game.
Can maintain DEF- with 100% uptime as long as he doesn’t get outsped with a little bit of help from his team.
Good personal Damage.
Requires a LOT of skill levels -S2 and S3 want to be maxed.
“One trick” type of Animus, with little to no versatility in his use.
Falls off later on as more SSR options become available.

For Early Game build tips when it comes to what modules and Shells to use before you start farming Red rarity, check our dedicated guide:
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
For some DPS characters, we're showing two set of numbers. The top one on shows the performance in single-target scenario and the bottom on blue background in AoE scenario (4 targets). If there's just one number, it means the character only has single-target capability.
107.43%
100.88%
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
A speed-based alternative for DPS characters to use instead of the mostly pure damage setups offered by Striker shells. Deals a large hit of damage, grants a 25% gauge boost, and offers the wearer the [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime on use. The downside of using this shell on DPS is that the matrixes are mostly support-focused, leading to suboptimal 12/8/6 set-ups or causing you to break sets and run 12P Swiftrush and an 8P set of your choice. Despite this downside, it can still be some characters’ top option. As with all speed-based sets on DPS, in teams that have gauge boosts for the DPS, it will lose value. Also, loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
This Shell offers Gray significantly faster cycle and a fantastic extra multiplier to his otherwise low multiplier rotation. Thanks to Gray's Action Advance he'll be gaining the 25% Advance and damage of this Shell every 2 turns instead of 3 making this Shell better on him than many others.
Best Module Sets:
100%
100%
After the main body acts, it performs a [Follow-up Attack] on the primary target, dealing 2 instances of 110% damage each. If a [CRIT] occurs, it increases the main body Animus’s [CRIT DMG] by 10%, up to a maximum of 8 stacks.
Consistent option for most DPS characters when it comes to raw damage output. Deals 2 sizable hits on a 3 turn cooldown and grants a relatively quickly stacking buff amounting to 60% CRIT DMG once fully charged. Also has more flexible DPS matrixes than other options thanks to it possessing 12P Swiftrush.
Higher damage per Skill; but slower in rotation alternative to Jackal Guard. A suitable option when aiming to build Gray with more of a direct damage focus and or already have a [+SPD] buff present on the team reducing the main draw of Jackal Guard.
Best Module Sets:
Below you can find some alternative Shells you can use - though it's mainly for PVP scenarios.
1
At the start of the battle, puts the owner Animus in a 1-turn [Void] state; afterward, for every 3 turn(s), enters a 2-turn [Void] state after the turn ends and increases ATK by 10%.
A PVP-focused defensive option for DPS characters, allowing them to enter the Void state at the start of battle, increasing their Effect Resistance by 60%, reducing the area DMG they take by 50%, and also making them un-targettable for its duration.
Best Module Sets:
SPD (Until Desired) = CRIT Rate > Effect ACC > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Flat ATK
Gray has four stats to pay attention to across gear:
Ensure you level up S3 and S2 equally and at the same time - otherwise Gray's rotation will go out of sync.
