Curated party archetype

Gunslinger

Updated

Support a shotgun trainer and turn bullet hits into armed-Pal pressure.

This is a hybrid gun party with two different damage recipients. Solenne, Frostplume and Nyafia raise trainer Attack, reload speed and shotgun damage. Your bullets also build Orserk stacks on the active Pal, while Xenolord raises the Partner Skill damage of weapon-wielding Pals such as Nyafia. Keep those lanes distinct: Orserk and Xenolord do not directly multiply trainer firearm damage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which slots improve the trainer and which improve the active Pal?

Solenne raises trainer Attack, Frostplume raises trainer reload speed and Nyafia raises trainer shotgun damage. Orserk converts trainer bullet hits into temporary Attack and Defense stacks on the active Pal. Xenolord boosts Partner Skill damage from weapon-wielding Pals; it does not boost the trainer firearm.

What does Orserk's bullet-hit buff do?

Each bullet hit grants the active Pal Attack and Defense for five seconds. The per-stack value rises from 1% to 5% with Orserk's Partner Skill rank, and the effect can stack with itself up to 30 times. Another similar carrier does not add a separate stack system.
