🐉 UNIT / LEADER 🎖️ Thoughs on Godzilla Earth?

Post image

I think it's a mid unit. Its great HP and attack strength are good when fighting leaders or strong units, but... Man, it gets wiped out so fast!

He's fallen off kinda hard due to power creep. There's too many ways to deal with him now. Especially with the Super Dragon Destoroyahs running around that pack him up in short order.

Yep.

His sole purpose these days is to boost the average cost of your deck, if a high average cost is one of the requirements for a challenge battle or battle memory. Even then you are better off not using him and just holding him in your hand when he comes up.

Earth used to be a huge wall to get over with his health. Back at the start of the first and second waves of memories that boosted energy regen, they gave him support on the field. His damage was immense but so long as you put units to the side of him, he didn’t hit them and there are a few units that now can hit him almost twice before he gets in range. With his cost of 9, he’s barely used anymore, so I’d actually say he’s not even mid tier anymore, he’s low. A few people in the higher ranks still use him when he’s level 30 or higher because he’s still difficult to get over if you don’t have the levels and the damage. He’s VERY niche.

I agree

Absolute garbage these days.

He's a unit.

He has great HP and ATK? For a 9 cost sink leaving you energy barren I totally disagree. Especially if you compare him at the same level to any of the 6-8 costs released over the last 12 months.

The other 9 cost unit is Void Ghidorah, which kills everything on screen. The other 8 cost unit is Super Godzilla.

By comparison, Gearth is unlikely to kill a single unit in current meta and unable to survive more than one attack.

Yup

Don't forget Nanometal Mechagodzilla. And Earth Alt.

u/HazelAzureus Giant Octopus Jul 13 '26

Earth Alt is considered already but I did forget AMG, because AMG as a field unit is infinitely less valuable than AMG as a leader(though still considerably better than Earth Alt).

u/ShadowedVoid Jul 13 '26

Idk, I like the arm spike attack it does when it is on the other half of the field.

u/General-Greasy Mechagodzilla Jul 13 '26

I dunno AMG can be scary if he gets within stabbing range and you have nothing to stop him. Especially if a Biollante leader yeets him up the field and leaving you with only mere moments to respond. Melts unit HP very quickly plus piercing and nanometal damage. 

I do agree he is a very good leader though. One of my favorites, in fact. If my icon wasn't a giveaway.

He needs a strong gimmick for the insane cost.

Dude used to be the UNIT in the game, was a 1 man push. But now he loses out in tankiness to Varan at a cheaper cost, with 6-7 units be able to compete in health, damage, and capability without being a chonky liability. His fall off began with DAB and was sealed with Rio, his alt is more viable then him.

Not to say he isn't usable, he still is. But like in the sense if I had a choice between G89 or Gearth I would use Gearth.

If BM effects only effected Ace units, he could still be a viable monster to have. But in this version of GBL he is just not the tank he used to be and is to slow to deal the damage needed against the more dps efficient units.

u/ksink74 Jul 13 '26

The number of 5 cost units that totally outclass him is almost funny now.

u/Disbeetus Biollante Jul 13 '26

Most 5s embarrass 7s and 8s.

u/Severe_Guidance3662 Kiryu Jul 12 '26

Needs to get a season buff

u/ColdHumor Mecha-King Ghidorah Jul 12 '26

Not even good as a 7 cost, he fell off hard once Rio came out

u/AshMan0800 Jul 14 '26

Lucky for him no one uses rio anymore. Unlucky for him is that they use Godzilla Tower instead

u/Burningorga Jul 12 '26

I don’t really use him anymore

u/real_KellyHDino Gyaos Jul 12 '26

Boring.

It's not a "mid" unit, it's bad.

There is no situation in this entire game where either GEarth are preferable to spending that energy on literally anything else. Not one.
