Overview

Rifles

Being one of the Ranger's choice of weapons as well as Gunner's secondary choice, many of its PAs can fire while moving freely, as well as flexibility and generally low PP consumption. In compensation, many of their PAs have slightly lower damage.

Some of their PAs have a charging aspect to them that fixes the user in a stationary point, with no safety net of having Super Armor, there is a risk of getting attack while using these PAs. In return they offer high power.

Unique to ranged weapons, all of their PAs can score headshots to deal even more damage, but some PAs have distance decay when a certain amount of distance is reached.

Although less effective in multiplayer situations, they offer great versatility against one vs one targets.

• Distance Decay
  Some PAs have their power reduced to 80% when the distance between the enemy and the character is more than a certain distance. Dependent on what PA is used.

• Activating the PA in the air will cause the loading animation to be shorter, allowing for faster PA usage.
• To elaborate on the PA, the shot will keep going straight even after hitting a target, and when a certain amount of distance is reached, the shot can hit again.
  Due to this specification, hitting a large part with this PA can allow the shot to hit the same part twice in one attack.
• When performing the PA in the air, Stationary Fire can be activated by continuously attacking.
