Top GT Team

• He's a really durable Fighter in general. In fact, he can benefit from very high defensive stats, constant Heals, and pretty decent Damage Reduction. Him and #17 are pretty annoying to face together.
• His Offensive capabilities are great, although he struggles a bit here since GT's deck is pretty evenly split between Strike and Blast cards, and that can be an issue at times since Goku's Blast Damage is not amazing. Other than that, he's still do a pretty great job overall, since his Strike Damage is pretty high, he can stack Arts Draw Speed multiple times through Extra Moves ( although, to take advantage of these it's pretty much necessary to use them before the Combo starts ), he has a Special Move that locks in ( which is deadly ), a really powerful Ultimate Move, and even anti-Endurance and anti-Special Cover Effects.

• After his Zenkai Awakening he became a fantastic Damage dealer again. His Buffs remained mostly the same, but that isn't a bad thing since they looked already pretty great. On the other hand, his stats got a huge increase, so he can harass opponents with hard-hitting Blast Cards, Arts Draw Speed, and his really powerful Ultimate Move, just like in his prime.

• He can take hits better than he could at his release, thanks to the new Damage Reduction Ability and the decent Defensive stats he got after the Zenkai.

• He has various capabilities that make him an absolute powerhouse Defensively: high Health/Defense stats, Damage Reduction, anti Blast/Special Move Cover, and Healing. These things make him incredibly obnoxious to face.
• He's just ok Offensively right off the bat, but he gets considerably stronger by Mid Game as he stacks various Buffs up. Also , his Ultimate Move is one of the best in the Game thanks to its AoE Paralysis Effect.

• His Covers and Damage Reduction make him one of the best Defensive options for the team, as he's basically able to nullify up to three Combos per Match. At 3*, he won't be able to Tank much excluding these gimmicks, while at 6* he's more reliable.
• His Damage output is not that great, and the lack of Arts Draw Speed also hinders him Offensively, but Blast Armor, an Extra Move that nullifies opponents' Buffs and Special Cover Effects, and Element Disadvantage removal on Main Ability still make him decent at putting pressure on the opponent at 3*. At 6* his Damage output becomes more meaningful, and as a result all of his Abilities become harder to play around for the opponent.

• He's primarily a good Damage dealer, since he's able to quickly stack multiple Damage Buffs and even reach 140-150% at his peak, but note that his very low Blast Attack stats might make him wonky if used alongside other Blast Fighters on this Team. Defensively he's just average for a non Zenkai Fighter, but his Barrier gives him some utility in that sense.
• His Main Ability can be very useful, but taking advantage of it is not easy. Mainly, if you have a Rising Rush ready and you're Combing the Fighter you specifically want to take out, his Main Ability definitely comes in handy as it assures he'll be the one to receive the blow, but in other cases it's not a foolproof method to defeat an opponent, since it deletes Nuova's Cards. Still, expert Fighters can take advantage of it reliably.

• Right off the bat he's not that good at anything, but as the Match goes on and he racks up Buffs, he becomes pretty decent at dealing Damage. Also, while his Last Man Standing capabilities are not quite game-changing, his Ultimate Move becomes really powerful in that scenario.
• Despite his high Damage Reduction % ceiling, his durability is just bad at 3* due to his low Defensive stats. At 6* he Tanks somewhat better, but if you're not careful he can still get dealt with rather easily. 

• He's a very annoying Fighter to face for Teams that have a lot of Strike Cards in the Deck, since his Strike Lock on enemy switch is Effective not only for Tanking purposes, but also for neutral phases in general. In fact, don't be surprised if your opponent at some point will just stand in front of you doing nothing: it's Eis' fault. For the rest, his Ki Debuffs against Female Warriors make him a solid pick in that matchup as well, but don't expect him to be a very impressive Tank.

• Offensively, he's not Amazing but solid nonetheless, as he has access to decent Damage Buffs, a Main Ability that provides him of a strong Special Move and leaves the opponent vulnerable by taking away its vanish gauge ( this can be taken advantage of in many different ways ).

Since he's an EX Fighter, he needs really high stars to work on the Team. If this condition is fulfilled, then he's a respectable replacement for SSJ4 Goku and he fits nicely in a Blast Focused GT Build.
