Gunner

The Gunner ("Gu") class is a specialized Ranged class that focuses on single-target combat and burst damage. Armed with their primary weapon, the Twin Machine Guns, and a Skill Tree that rewards close combat and skilled play and use of mobility, the Gunner is difficult to master, but has the capability to shine and exceeds the limits when used to its fullest.

Reaching Level 75 on this class will give the following bonuses to the base stats of all classes and all characters of the same account: +2 PP, +15, +50, +10.

Class Weapon Overview

Gunners use two unique weapons: Twin Machine Guns and Rifles

Twin Machine Guns

Extremely versatile ranged weapons that serves as the primary weapon of Gunners. They deal relatively small amounts of damage. However, they make up for it with the number of hits that they can deal in a given amount of time. While TMGs are considered as a Ranged weapon, their hit range is of Medium to Point-Blank range. Twin Machine Guns can be powered up with the use of the Skill Twin Machine Guns Focus, which grants them a damage bonus as they stay on the offensive and avoid taking damage.

Twin Machine Guns' Weapon Action is Stylish Roll. Pressing the Weapon Action button will cause the wielder to flip in a direction. The direction of flip can be influenced with the directional keys, and while only backwards and sideways flips can be performed by default, the Skill Ring L/Front S Roll enables Stylish Rolling in a forwards direction. Stylish Rolling is a dodge action with several unique properties.

• Stylish Roll has a healthy amount of invulnerability frames that enable its wielder to evade attacks Dive Roll wouldn't be able to avoid.
• Chaining three Stylish Rolls together causes the third roll to be performed in slow motion. This is the longest dodge action in the game and has the most invulnerability, surpassing even Blind Escape.
• Pressing the Attack button during a Stylish Roll will cause the wielder to fire at targets, restoring PP.
• Stylish Roll creates a Perfect Attack circle after being performed, allowing the wielder to chain into Arts out of dodges.

Assault Rifle

A heavy-duty rifle loaded with bullets. Possesses a high rate of attack as well as extreme precision. Its Photon Arts augment its abilities, enabling it to adapt to many battlefield situations. Rifles can be further strengthened with the use of Ranger's Round Skills, which allow the user to load in special magazines that give their attacks special properties.
