Grandmora

The return of Gardeners of the Galaxy in 2017 introduced Grandmora and Spaceking on Tier 2 of the event.

Grandmora is the aging grandmother of intergalactic being, Thermos. She's an expert in knitting warm, ugly clothes and her insistence on feeding the other Crusaders makes her an ideal support Crusader.

Grandmora can swap with The Washed Up Hermit, Kyle the Party Bro, Serpent King Draco, and Henry, the Scaredy-Ghoul. As such, she cannot be used in the formation with these crusaders at the same time.

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Grandmora's special abilities are Still Suspicious and Untrusting. Still Suspicious can increase DPS of crusaders in row in front of her up to 200% and can reach 300% with Old Habits. That is more than boost from Roar (Artaxes, the Lion) (effects from gears excluded). Even better, the cost to buy Still Suspicious is 160M while Roar is 400M, which makes the former cheaper and earlier to get than the latter

However this only works if there were none or only single crusader behind her. Therefore, the best way to maximize her boost is by putting her at back row or at least in a row where row behind it only has one slot

Examples to maximize Still Suspicious:

Grandmora at back row in Normal formation (World's Wake) with main DPS in second row
Grandmora at second row in Diamond formation (Descent into Darkness) with main DPS in center row
Grandmora at third row in Dustpan formation (Mischief at Mugwarts) with main DPS in forth row

Alternatively, if Grandmora has to be placed in row with 2 or more crusaders in row behind her, remove the former leaving only one crusader behind her

Untrusting can increase DPS of crusaders in row behind her 50% times number of crusaders in row in front of her. This can be maximized by placing her in row behind row with 3 or 4 crusaders in it. Just like Still Suspicious, the boost can be upraged to 75% per crusader with Old Habits. That's bigger boost compared to Sasha's Bulwark which boosts 30% (effects from gears excluded)

If Grandmora can't maximize her Still Suspicious, then maximize Untrusting instead to boost main DPS

Examples to maximize Untrusting:

Grandmora at fourth row in Box formation (Captain Ghostbeard's Greed) with main DPS in center row
Grandmora at center row in Invader formation (Ready Player Two) with main DPS in second row

Special note: Both Still Suspicious and Untrusting only consider crusaders not escorts
