Gunner

Images

With the coming of the Eternal Calm, and the revelation of the truth behind Sin, the people of Spira began to familiarise themselves with technology once more. Of particular interest to many were the once-forbidden machina weapons, and guns quickly became popular forms of defence. The Gunner shows off her sharpshooting skills on the battlefield, firing on enemies from afar with her modified pistols. Her quick eye and hairtrigger reflexes give her the Accuracy to hit even the most agile of fiends, and the ability to do so with a variety of no-wait shots.

There are only so many ways to fire a gun, but a skilled fighter knows where to hit her target for a variety of effects. Magically-enhanced bullets can be much more powerful when used in the right situations. For the cost of a few MP and a slightly longer recovery time, Gunplay skills allow her to rip through defences or deal a killer blow.

Pros

High Accuracy
Multiple-hit Trigger Happy

Cons

Relatively poor in other areas

Acquisition

Initial equipment; Yuna's standard dressphere.

Abilities

Attack	ATB
	MP	0
	Charge	None
	Recover	100%
	Learning
	AP	N/A
	Prerequisite	N/A
The standard no-wait physical attack, dispensing lead-based justice to all that stand in the firing line.

Trigger Happy	ATB
	MP	0
	Charge	None
	Recover	175%
	Learning
	AP	N/A
	Prerequisite	N/A
The gunner's trump card is the rapid-fire Trigger Happy. After choosing a target, she has one second to release a hail of bullets by hammering the trigger (R1). Each individual bullet may only do minimal damage, but the cumulative effect more than makes up for it. A gunner under Haste can manage even more shots. Should the unfortunate victim perish before the time is up, a new target will be automatically selected. However, it takes her a while to adjust her aim.

Potshot	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	20
	Prerequisite	N/A
By taking just a little while longer to fire, it is possible to hit the target for more damage than with a standard Attack.

Cheap Shot	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	30
	Prerequisite	Potshot
Fires an armour-piercing bullet that penetrates the enemy's defences, damaging the strong and the weak alike.

Enchanted Ammo	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	30
	Prerequisite	N/A
Replaces the standard bullet with one of pure magical energy, dealing nonelemental magic damage instead of the usual physical sort. This makes it an ideal option against those resistant to, or even immune to, physical damage.

Target MP	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	30
	Prerequisite	Enchanted Ammo
By imbuing bullets with arcane magic, it is possible to target a fiend's mind instead of their body. When hit by one of these shots, they will lose a great deal of MP while remaining physically unharmed.

Burst Shot	ATB
	MP	12
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	60
	Prerequisite	N/A
Powerful ammunition, coupled with the knack for hitting the enemy's weak spot, ensures that this shot is always Critical and hits for double the normal damage.

Table-turner	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	60
	Prerequisite	Potshot
The stronger the armour, the more vulnerable the being inside tends to be. As no armour is impenetrable, there is always a weak spot to be found somewhere. Table-turner gives the gunner the opportunity to take advantage of this, and as such does more damage to fiends with higher Defence.

Scattershot	ATB
	MP	8
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	80
	Prerequisite	Burst Shot
When outnumbered by opponents, a simple handgun is perhaps not the most effective equipment. For a little MP, a gunner may treat her weapon as if it were a shotgun, firing a spread of pellets to hit the entire enemy party at once.

Scatterburst	ATB
	MP	36
	Charge	None
	Recover	112%
	Learning
	AP	120
	Prerequisite	Scattershot
Combining the powers of Scattershot and Burst Shot is no mean feat, requiring considerable MP to create the effect. When times are tough, however, the ability to critically wound all targets at once is a good one to have.

Darkproof	ATB
	N/A
	Learning
	AP	30
	Prerequisite	N/A
A sharpshooter is nothing without her accuracy, and having Darkness inflicted upon her renders her useless. This auto-ability prevents such a tragedy from ever occurring.

Sleepproof	ATB
	N/A
	Learning
	AP	30
	Prerequisite	Darkproof
The second and final status immunity a gunner may learn, preventing her from falling asleep during battle.

Trigger Happy Lv.2	ATB
	N/A
	Learning
	AP	80
	Prerequisite	N/A
Once learned, this skill allows Trigger Happy to last for an additional second, effectively doubling the amount of damage the gunner can inflict.

Trigger Happy Lv.3	ATB
	N/A
	Learning
	AP	150
	Prerequisite	Trigger Happy Lv.2
This skill adds another second to Trigger Happy, which gives the gunner plenty of time to kill the most stubborn of foes.
