Warning

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

Pistoleer Deadeye only uses his Handgun stance, relying on the mobility it provides to remain out of the enemy's reach while raining bullets upon them. The Shotgun and Rifle stances are disabled for this build.

In exchange for losing access to your other weapons, you gain the following effects:

• +75% Damage to Handgun skills
• +50% Damage to Clay Bombardment
• +40% Stagger

This build focuses on maneuvering around the target in order to consistently dodge their attacks, while retaliating using your Handgun skills in a highly mobile and extremely stylish playstyle.

Priority Order

• While this build does not have a specific rotation, using skills in the order presented above is recommended when you first engage the enemy. Due to the chaotic nature of encounters, you may have to improvise and adapt as the fight goes on.
• Make sure to use Relentless Assault often to take advantage of the buffs it provides.
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using AT02 Grenade, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended for short stagger checks. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!

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 in order 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.

Recommended Setup

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