The thing is, Gildorf will ALWAYS outdamage Ravenna if there's more than one enemy and even then, Gildorf can potentially outdamage Ravenna. THat's because of his AoE + ST mechanic. The way it works is that ANY BB Atk/Spark/Crit/Atk buff on it is doubled: one instance for the AoE part and one for ST part.

So here's a scenario: let's say you have some team with:
 * Lucius lead
 * Sirius friend (refer to my blog for his kit)
 * Gildorf
 * Ravenna

So your offensive buffs are:
 * 190% Atk from Sirius lead (150% Atk on SBB + 40% on LS)
 * 140% extra Atk from Lucius lead
 * 400% BB Atk (250% from Sirius SBB and 150% from LS, also assume you use Sirius after Lucius)
 * 23% HP -> Atk convert

Adding all that you get a BB Atk boost of 753% base depending on how high HP is.

Now like I said, Gildorf gets x2 to any BB Atk boost so their BB Atk values on turn 1 are:
 * Ravenna has 1280% (base) + 753% = 2053%
 * Gildorf has 1280% + (753 x 2)% = 2786%

Now let's compare Ravenna SBB mod after 5 turns (well this is already generous since if you're gonna nuke, it won't take this long)
 * Ravenna: 2053 + (2053 + 250) + (2053 + 500) + (2053 + 750) + (2053 + 750) = 12515%
 * Gildorf: 2786 x 5 = 13930%

Take note this doesn't even consider spheres
