Guide🔗

Overview: Base class is Gunner; Tier 3 classes are Ace / Spitfire / Requiem; ultimate is Swansong. The unique passive "Whisper of Fate": when attacking an enemy not at 100% HP, Crit Rate +20% and take 40% less counter damage; landing a crit grants the unremovable 1-turn "Whisper of Fate" buff. Whisper of Fate: when an enemy ends its turn within Chris's range and Chris has ammo, deal 35~50% ATK damage and gain 1 TP at 40%~100% chance. This makes Chris an active turret; because Gunners have wide attack range, auto-damaging enemies that end turns inside it is a big merit. Below 5th awakening the TP-gain chance gambling is heavy, but gaining TP just from enemies ending turns in range is a strong bonus effect.

Classes: Tier 3 options: Ace (crit-focused), Spitfire (gains ATK and crit buffs while out of ammo), Requiem (counters melee attacks, gains extra movement if ammo remains). All classes reload Magic Rounds, +25% ATK bonus magic damage to max when ammo is 0 at the start of the ally turn.

• Ace: learns Bullseye; max ammo 3; passive gives +30% crit on ammo-consuming attacks. Since Chris has almost no ammo-free actions, the crit boost applies nearly always; also learns two strong damage skills (Rapid Fire and Bullseye), so it is recommended as 1st-priority build and as an endgame class.
• Spitfire: learns exclusive skill "Barrage"; max ammo 4; passive gives ATK and Crit +20% when ammo is 0 at turn start. Good firepower increase but the hardest condition, so not very recommended; Barrage is a good skill worth securing.
• Requiem: learns "Deadly Scorch"; uses the Gun Blader-Requiem exclusive tree. Gains pre-emptive attack, counters adjacent melee attacks with sword for 40% damage reduction, and gains extra movement at turn end if ammo remains. Great mobility with good ammo management and improved survivability, and learns two useful exclusive skills; but lacks damage-boost or crit buffs so it is weakest for damage and its passive is hard to trigger, so usually recommended as 2nd-priority build.

Key skills:

• AP Rounds Reload: TP 1. Empties remaining ammo then loads AP Rounds to max. Cooldown 3. AP Rounds: +25% ATK bonus physical damage and remove 1 TP. Buffs all gun attacks by +25% damage; multi-shot skills that trigger ammo effects at once are greatly strengthened.
• Bullseye: TP 3, 3 ammo. 130% ATK damage, triggers all consumed ammo effects; on kill, empty remaining ammo and reload Magic Rounds to max. Cooldown 3. Gunner's main damage skill; after AP Rounds Reload, Bullseye becomes a fearsome 205% ATK multiplier.
• Blade and Gun: TP 2, consume ammo if any. 110% ATK to adjacent enemy, strongly knock back and apply "Shock Stun" for 3 turns; if distance opened, fire gun for +50% ATK. 160% multiplier single-target; usable as a stun skill whenever crit lands. Wants to pair with Requiem's 40% adjacent damage reduction; but Chris is squishy so may be used as an escape skill.
• Barrage: TP 3, all ammo. Directional, 80% ATK to enemies in range, push 1 tile each; targets limited to ammo count. Gunner's main AoE; with magazine full of Magic/AP Rounds the multiplier rises to 105%.
• Deadly Scorch: TP 3, all ammo. Move to a chosen tile within 3 tiles, then 60% ATK to enemies within 2 tiles and load 1 Magic Round; double damage to enemies at 50% HP or below. Cooldown 3. Confirm-kill AoE with movement; multiplier low but can reach 85% with Magic/AP buffs; use to finish enemies whose HP was chipped by the passive's enemy-turn attack.
• Swansong (ultimate): targets 1 unit within 13 tiles, AoE 100130% ATK centered on target; does not consume ammo. Cross-shape area (8 surrounding tiles plus 6 in each of front/back/left/right), like Cheonjipayeolmu. Simple pure-damage AoE with no utility; the animation shows Chris's subordinate unit delivering crossfire, explaining the no-ammo cost and cross shape.

Recommended gear: Exclusive weapon Sturmgehilter; bonus stat ATK increase; +12 ammo at stage start; if ammo full at turn start, +1525% crit damage for 1 turn (3-turn cooldown); after a combat attack that crits, applies 3-turn "Shock Stun" debuff (no counter, stuns at 2 stacks). Upgrades Blade and Gun into a stun skill; crit damage option is attractive for crit-focused Chris, but otherwise mediocre so not deemed essential. Armor: stack crit to enable the passive. Hero grade: Assassin set; Legendary: Crow set (motif of the character Crow); stack crit rate + crit damage, no room for survivability. Accessories: since crit is so important, Golden Dice (extra chance roll) or Balance Blade (trades damage for crit) are recommended.

Evaluation: An active turret that chips HP on the enemy turn and confirm-kills on the ally turn. As Genesis War Mobile's first-ever Gunner class character, operation is somewhat complex and a bit tricky, but ultimately if you load AP/Magic Rounds and shoot while securing crit to act as an "active defense system" turret on the enemy turn, it does its job. The game has very few ranged dealers (only Ariana and Chris in Green attribute), so deploy for Blue-attribute sniping.
