Kurzan Front

Ark Passive

Notes

• The goal of this build is to get as close as you can to 100% Crit Rate on Shotgun skills, without overcapping, and there are multiple ways to achieve this.
• Depending on Party Synergies, your access to Relic Adrenaline, your Pet's stat bonus, your Bracelet, and other environmental factors, you can shift points between Crit and Specialization to your liking as long as you maintain your Crit Rate.
• Alternatively, you can give up Zealous Smite for Destruction Charger or a second level of Unlimited Magick if the current conditions allow you to maintain your Crit Rate by doing this.

Skills Setup

• Sharpshooter, Dual Buckshot, Focused Shot, and Target Down are your main damage skills.
• Bullet Rain, Perfect Shot, and Catastrophe are secondary damage skills.
• Dexterous Shot and Spiral Tracker are your Synergy (Weakness Exposure) skills.
• Peacekeeper is your Counter skill.
• Somersault Shot and Quick Step are used as mobility skills.
• Last Request and Meteor Stream can significantly boost your Stagger contribution when needed.
• Eye of Twilight is your Awakening. It is preferred over High-Caliber HE Bullet thanks to its higher damage, but both can be used.

Alternative Skill, Tripod, and Rune Options

Spiral Tracker

• Purify - Allows you to cleanse your debuffs.

Target Down

• High-Capacity Magazine - Increases damage potential, but makes the skill significantly slower.

Ark Passive

Skills Setup

Warning

This build is optimized and meant to be used only in Kurzan Front. For Ebony Cube use a Raid build.

Peacemaker Gunslinger uses all three of her stances, but most of her damage comes from Shotgun and Rifle skills. In exchange, Handgun skills provide exceptional mobility and utility.

Swapping stances grants you the following effects:

Entering the Shotgun stance

• +10% Crit Rate
• +24% Damage

Entering the Rifle stance

• +28% Damage

Entering the Handgun stance

• +16% Attack Speed

Pacifist unifies and empowers these buffs, granting all of them regardless of which stance you are in.

Gunslinger Identity

This build focuses on constantly identifying what distance from the enemy is safe and positioning yourself accordingly, choosing the correct weapon from your arsenal for each situation.

Standard Damage Rotation

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended when you first engage the enemy. However, due to the chaotic nature of encounters, you may have to improvise and adapt as the fight goes on.
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using Spiral Tracker and Dexterous Shot, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check Rotation

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended for most stagger checks. However, each check can vary in duration, so you may need to readjust depending on that and your party's composition. Remember, you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!
• If you need more stagger, consider using High-Caliber HE Bullet.

Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.

Engravings are a core part of your build. You can equip up to five at a time, freely swapping between them. Engravings are listed in order of importance.

Recommended Setup

• Grudge
• Hit Master
• Keen Blunt Weapon
• Cursed Doll
• Adrenaline

Tripods affect your skills directly by providing utility, damage, cooldown reduction or gauge generation. These are the ones you should prioritize:

• Focused Shot: Double Tap and Final Strike
• Sharpshooter: In a Tight Spot, Special Bullet, and Guardian's Breath
• Target Down: Semi-automatic Rifle and Steady Aim
• Dual Buckshot: In a Tight Spot, Enhanced Fire, and Final Strike

Bracelets provide beneficial effects to yourself or to your party members depending on the rolls they have.

The primary goal is to get the main stats used by your build. After that, you should be aiming for Special Rolls to get more damage. Here are the effects you should look out for, in no particular order:

The recommended Elixir Set for this build is Critical.
