The Gunner uses firearms at attack enemies. Range isn't a problem and a Gunner's attacks are very effective against flying or airborn enemies. The "Trigger Happy" attack enables you to assail a single foe with a barrage of lower-powered chain attacks (quickly tap the R1 button) during the time allotted. You can even extend the time for "Trigger Happy" by leveling up the ability. At first, a Gunner's attacks won't deal much damage. But as a character gains levels, the Gunner dressphere becomes a more powerful tool for quickly disposing of enemies. "Gunplay" abilities feature special shots that require MP to execute. However, unlike most skills and spells, "Gunplay" abilities are immediatly performed by the Gunner, similar to physical attacks.
In combat, the Gunner's main job is to attack and destroy enemies. At the start of the game, the Gunner is quite effective at this job. Equip a Gunner with accessories and Garment Grids to boost Strength and Accuracy to inflict more damage. As the characters donning the Gunner dressphere gains experience levels and grows in strength, her attacks become more devastating with a higher frequency of critical hits. |
