Gold Experience Requiem (GER)
Gold Experience Requiem, often abbreviated as GER, is widely considered one of the strongest Specials in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless. It is the evolved form of Giorno Giovanna’s Stand, representing the pinnacle of power in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure universe.
In AFSE, GER serves as a “Meta-Defining” ability, primarily used for its unparalleled defensive utility and counter-play potential. It is a Stand-Type special, meaning its damage scales with your Stand stat (or Chakra/Strength depending on the update version).
Abilities and Skills
GER is not just about raw damage; it is about controlling the flow of battle. Its signature ability, “Return to Zero,” makes it a nightmare for opponents relying on big ultimate attacks.
1. Life Shot (Muda Beam)
- Description: GER fires a concentrated beam of life energy (or a high-speed pebble) that pierces through enemies.
- Type: Ranged / Single Target
- Damage: Medium
- Tactical Tip: Use this for poking enemies from a distance. It has a very fast travel time, making it excellent for interrupting channeled abilities.
2. Scorpions (Life Creation)
- Description: The user turns objects into scorpions that seek out and attack nearby targets.
- Type: Summon / DoT (Damage over Time)
- Effect: Poisons enemies on contact.
- Tactical Tip: Deploy these before a close-range engagement. They act as “mines” that punish aggressive players who try to rush you.
3. Return to Zero (Reset)
- Description: The ultimate counter. GER nullifies all actions taken against the user within a specific timeframe, effectively “undoing” damage and status effects.
- Type: Defense / Utility / Counter
- Effect: Negates incoming damage and stuns. In some versions, it traps the enemy in an infinite death loop animation for a few seconds.
- Tactical Tip: Save this for when you see a boss winding up their one-shot mechanic or when a player activates their Awakening. Timing is everything.
How to Obtain
Obtaining GER is a multi-step process that separates dedicated players from casuals.
- Obtain Gold Experience: Use a Stand Arrow until you roll the base Gold Experience stand (Rare/Legendary).
- Obtain a Requiem Arrow: These are rare drops from bosses like Diavolo or can be purchased from the Travelling Merchant for a high Yen cost.
- Evolution: Equip Gold Experience and use the Requiem Arrow. There is a 100% success rate if you meet the stat requirements.
- Requirement: 50,000 Chakra or Stand stat.
Synergy & Best Build
GER is best used in a “Tank/Counter” build.
- Class: Gangstar or Mob Boss for thematic bonuses, though God is best for raw stats.
- Champion: Giorno increases GER’s duration and damage.
- Accessory: Requiem Arrow Necklace boosts Stand damage.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Can Return to Zero stop time stop?
Yes. In AFSE mechanics, GER’s Return to Zero usually has higher priority than Time Stop. If you activate it just as The World or Star Platinum stops time, you can cancel their effect or move freely within it.
Is GER better than Made in Heaven?
It depends. Made in Heaven is faster and better for farming due to speed blitzing. GER is superior for PvP and surviving difficult boss fights due to its invulnerability frames.
Does it auto-heal?
Some versions of GER include a passive self-heal (referencing Giorno’s ability to replace body parts), but typically you need to use a specific skill like “Life Giver” to regenerate HP.
