Overview

• Gunslash Arts specialize in close to mid-range attacks, with rapid hits and relatively high PP consumption.
• Has many PAs that hit beyond melee range or hit multiple targets, allowing for effective use against large groups of enemies.
• Comparatively low damage output on its own, though this is alleviated significantly with Luster Subclass.
• Consumes PP very quickly, though this is balanced somewhat by Gunslash's access to a ranged normal attack, and high per-hit PP regeneration from normal attacks.
• Inherent guarding and evasion abilities are integrated into the PAs themselves, requiring a certain degree of skill to use effectively.

Boosting Potential	-	Weapons with PA	-

• Advances forward, doing two slashes then a stab, all striking damage.
  • First two slashes are of the same lower power, final stab does increased damage.
• Allows minor adjustment of direction while moving, but not very much.
• All three hits of the PA have relatively short range, and the movement is not a great distance - as such, should not be used beyond close range if one wants all three hits to connect.

Tri-Impact Type-0

Name	Description
Tri-Impact Type-0 トライインパクト零式	Gunslash Photon Art. Use the blade to perform agile forward slashes which also fire off ranged slash projectiles. Wide range, but short reach.

• Movements are similar to the basic Tri-Impact, but adds a projectile to each slash.
• Projectiles travel a short distance, but are reasonably wide and pierce, allowing each to hit multiple enemies.
• Projectiles are an additional hit on top of the melee strikes - at close range, this can increase the number of hits from 3 to 6.

• Movements are the same as the original Ein Raketen, but behaviour is changed.
• No longer launches enemies.
• PA can now be cancelled after the uppercut by inputting a dash, another attack/PA, or switching gunslash mode.
• Uppercut now produces a floating slash projectile, the behavior of which differs depending on if you let the PA animation complete or cancel it.
  • If cancelled, the projectile will persist, moving very slowly forwards. The projectile remains for a few seconds, and remains if touched by enemies.
    • Projectile will hit up to five times in one second intervals before dissapearing.
    • The PA can be repeatedly performed this way to generate up to 3 projectiles - any further projectiles will overwrite the oldest one and despawn it.
  • If not cancelled, the projectile will be fired forward at high speed, behaving similarly to the original Ein Raketen's shot, only with an additional piercing property.
    • This projectile is still able to headshot.
    • Only travels horizontally - will not travel vertically, even if aimed up/down in aiming mode or locked on.
    • Damage of this projectile is approximately the same as the combined 5 hits of the cancelled version projectile.

• Damage is dealt across seven hits.

  • The user can influence the direction they are facing at all times during the PA. With practice, all hits can be landed on a single enemy by correctly rotaing as the PA proceeds, though this may prove challenging in execution.

• Cannot be cancelled mid-execution.

Boosting Potential	-	Weapons with PA	-

• Rockets forward at high speed. If it collides with an enemy/environmental object, kicks back off of it, and shoots the thing that was kicked 3 times.
• Highly useful as a movement PA. Goes a great distance with a reasonably short wind up, and the direction of travel can be greatly influenced - almost to the point that one can spin in place with it.
• If locked on, or an enemy is highlighted, will charge towards that enemy. If locked on, trajectory of movement cannot be altered.
• Shots are executed in much the same way as Additional Bullet.
• Has two JA circles - one after colliding with an enemy, and another after the shots have been fired.
• Dash part of the PA cannot be cancelled. The shooting part can be cancelled, however.
• Deals approximately 55% striking damage, and 45% shooting damage.

Boosting Potential	-	Weapons with PA

• Uniquely, behaves differently depending on which mode the gunslash is is at time of execution:
  • Slash Mode:
    • Peform an upswing with the gunslash. Has a reasonably long horizontal range, but vertical range is limited.
    • If the upswing hits an enemy, rushes towards the enemy, then performs a slashing combo when it reaches them.
      • Slightly raises the player when the target is reached.
      • If the enemy that was hit by the initial upswing dies before the user has reached it with the rush, another target can be locked onto to adjust trajectory.
    • Deals entirely striking damage.
      • Upswing deals 15%.
      • First three hits of the slashing combo deal 20% each.
      • Final hit deals 25 %.
  • Gun Mode:
    • Performs a rapid 360 spin hitting all enemies within close-to-mid range.
    • Low power, but is extremely fast.
    • Knocks down any enemies that are susceptible to being knocked down.
      • Can be used in rapid succession to stunlock enemies with knockdown.
    • Deals entirely shooting damage, at 30% of the listed power of the PA.

• If the weapon action is used to switch modes during the PA, immediately executes the opposite mode's PA (so if the gunslash is in slash mode, the gun mode version of Strezwei will activate) at a reduced cost of 5PP.
  • Can only be done once per usage of the PA - you cannot keep using the weapon action to infinitely loop it.
  • Executing the PA this way will not recieve the bonuses from Tech Arts JA Bonus or Tech Arts JA PP Save, and will reset the combo.
