Talk:Battle Deity Robo, Gaolion/@comment-24971427-20160106225033/@comment-1755882-20160110202445

Its better because the stat loss is lower. It only loses 2k in stats in comparison to the 4k that Shiden/Succubus lose. In addition, higher size means its stat spread is better despite the loss in stats. In addition, this is in Battle Deity Robo monster, and Battle Deity Robos have their own Armor Reuse, so returning the card to hand to reuse the effect (or retrieve the card you discarded) is easy.

So yeah, within its deck, Gaolion is superior to Shiden and Red-Eyes Succubus.
