Is Gowther good?
Gowther is a support with a form for Lightning teams and one for everyone else. The Wand form is a Lightning Burst unit: any ally's Lightning Burst raises the whole party's Lightning Attack while he's on the team, and his Normal Skill lowers Lightning Defense.
The Grimoire form links enemies so they take more damage and gives attackers an Attack buff, and its Ultimate Move locks enemies in place. His Staff form backs a Lightning DPS such as 
Merlin with Lightning Resistance shred. We rate him B tier.
Pairs well with: Merlin; 
Daisy; 
Meliodas; 
Gilthunder.
