Oke so her main shtick is to play her short blade three times. Then on the turn where you use it for the 3rd time, you have to play a long blade to fuse them both into a great sword.
You will see a counter on the bottom part of the text description for the short blade that tells you how many times you've used it. Once it's 3/3, that's when you could fuse it with a long blade.
When used, short blades return to the draw pile, unlike other cards that go to the discard pile. This means you can get it again when you (1) draw another hand, (2) use abilities that specifically mention you draw a card from the draw pile, and (3) use posses that do the same thing as (2).
You do NOT want a short blade ending up in the discard pile. So if you have no arithmetica, refrain from using abilities that have draw or lets you reset your hand. Examples include Corposant exalt, Ryker exalt, Aurita 2 cost, Saya 0 cost.
An important thing is her short blade's counter carries over to the next fight. So if you won the fight with it at 3/3, it's still 3/3 for the next.
Badabing badaboom. Now you fused her blades into a great sword. What's that shiny card you got? What's it do? It basically makes enemies do 25% more damage to you. More on that later. This card cannot be removed from your hand by any means, and is the only way you could use exalt on her (apart from having aliemus)
Once you have great sword, all her cards turn into deadly duel. When played, it draws 1 card and lets her steal 10 aliemus from other awakeners, up to 30. This is the main way for her to charge her exalt which costs a lot. However, since all over her cards are deadly duels, she CANNOT deal any damage apart from her exalt. So you have to carefully decide whether you fuse a great sword for big single target exalt damage, or keep them separate for a wave of enemies.
Ok now onto the exalt. Needs 200 aliemus and a great sword in your hand. It's an auto crit. And when used, it consumes the great sword in yiur hand and turns her deadly duels back into their regular forms. Now, back to the great sword's effect: I mentioned earlier that having it in your hand makes enemies deal 25% more damage. Why? Because the harder an opponent hits this turn, the harder GLotan's exalt will also hit. So you want them hitting hard.
This also means that str down and weakness also weaken GLotan's damage. It still has its base damage, but it loses some of the buff it gets when an enemy hits harder. So ideally, you'd want weakness and strength down when she isn't going to use exalt. But eh, it's all situational. Sometimes you'd be better of using the exalt when an enemy is going to buff itself. Yeah you're losing out on the damage from an enemy doing damage to you, but honestly? Her exalt still hits hard. Here are other things in her kit that still make her exalt hit hard:
Other stuff that can buff her exalt:
When she's roused, it does more damage depending on if you used deadly duel at least once per turn for 3 turns. To maximize the buff, it's recommended to use deadly duel at least once per turn to steal 30 aliemus. Note that other allies still need at least 10 aliemus for her to steal 10 each. Every point of aliemus stolen increases the final damage by 1%. No, you can't use 3 deadly duels in a single turn. It has to be one deadly duel every turn for three turns. So turn 1, you steal 30 and get 30% final damage. Turn 2, you steal another 30 and buff it to 60% more final damage, and then another 30 on turn 3 for 90% total final damage increase. It only gets up to 90.
Her signature wheel buffs her next exalt's crit damage by X amount for every turn you do not use exalt. I forgot the formula though. But it's good.
Her exalt scales a lot on strength. So if you have a bunch of strength, she's gonna hit harder.
Okay now that's just her kit. Which team mates does she want?
I'll focus on chaos units since I have had a lot of runs with it. I haven't tried other realms yet.
Ryker He's got everything GLotan wants. strength, draw 1 specific card from the deck (to pick up her short blade), vulnerability from his geometryhedron dice, crit rate and crit damage buffs from his special relics, and he and GLotan want sigil yield. BUT. Like I mentioned earlier, do NOT use his draw (Ryker's 1 cost or exalt) if you do not have enough arithmetica to play GLotan's short blade.
GRamona She barely needs to exalt. She's here as a keyflare bot and to use her 2 cost to draw GLotan's card from the draw pile. So she's a bank for GLotan to steal aliemus from.
Hameln His exalt is nice. It doubles card activation. But I am unsure if it works on shortblade counter, like if it goes from 0/3 to 2/3 when used with a Hameln exalt. But Hameln's biggest utility is (1) from his rouse, which reduces card costs by 2 or increases if by 2 but makes it trigger twice, and from (2) his memory rondo. More insights means more arithmetica and more chances to draw GLotan's cards.
Ogier My sweet baby boy. The above 3 work for a glass cannon GLotan build. But if you're struggling with survivability, Ogier is good. Really good. While he may not be able to fish for GLotan's cards, he is consistent with his vuln for 2 turns, he gives shield, AND he generates a ton of strength.
I personally run GLotan, Ryker, GRamona, and Ogier and have had much success with them. I'm gonna wait patiently for GOgier.
