To understand why Gourdy is so disgustingly strong you have to realize there are only two roles which matter in this game, distractor and extractor. Gourdy has 1 stealth and 4 speed, this makes him a top tier distractor, as you can reliably and effortlessly pull and save from any toon, barring other 1 stealths who have to put effort into a pass.
He also has 5 extract and 5 skilll check, making him one of the best extractors. Unlike the other toon with these stats, Soulvester, Gourdy has no gimmick because of his 4 speed. His low stamina is taken care of after Dyle, since he gives out the equivalent of +2 stars in stamina. Also, take into account that because he makes both a top tier extractor and distactor with his stats alone, he can equip any setup of trinkets and make it work. This is notable because he's also one of the best backup distractors.
This is all before we touch on his passive and active, his active is admittedly meh but you genuinely shouldn't play him for his active, you play him for his stat spread. His passive is stupidly good, its essentially the alarm or vanity mirror trinket built in for 5 seconds, which seems like a little short unless you've distracted on him, helps alot before you get suppression, and is op for slower toons like Vee or Soul. He's very busted and leans into the player's skill, the only thing thats balanced about him is his low range active, decent passive, and having two hearts.
