What are some good Gunslash Builds?

[Shade_Koopa]

I was thinking of trying out a Gunslash build on an alt character of mine. I'm curious as to which Class Combos are usually best for Gunslashes. I was thinking of either going HU/GU, BR/HU, or HU/BR. Any thoughts or advice on this please?

[oratank]

pretty sure it will start with Fi

[nguuuquaaa]

Pretty sure nothing comes close to FI/HU at gunslash usage. Not even GU with Chain Trigger.

I was able to deal pretty good damages as FI/HU with Celesta Laser second pot.

But never craft Ein Rakeiten. NEVER.

I don't know how this applies now but I believe Selphea stated in their opinion Fi/Ra was the preferred combo for gunslash.....

Why not? Uncrafted Ein Raketen is bad anyway. And Type-0 can serve as a pseudo-burst.

EDIT: ^ yeah like that

unmodded ein is pretty great, I'd have to find an opportunity to mess around with type-0 still. unmodded the damage is split 50/50 with s-atk and r-atk, while swiki's saying type 0 shifts more of the damage onto the shockwave. Depending on if you cancel out of the attack by using the midpoint JA window or let the whole animation play out, the shockwave will change from S-atk scaling to R-atk. it might be great as a TAJA partner for Serpent Air or Tri Impact 0 if you are focusing on S-atk, not sure what's up in the world of R-atk gunlashing these days, but I know Slash Rave and that one other PA are still pretty great for hybrid S-atk/R-atk builds

Uooh then lets just I'm noob at Ein T-0. :wacko:

I really don't like it. And if I don't like it then nobody like it.

[nguuuquaaa]

I hate original Ein Raketen for the hitstop on both the upward swing and shooting. :wacko:
I mean, Tri-Impact Type-0 does what uncrafted Ein Raketen can do, and even better.

The big hit of Slash Rave is S-Atk in, ranged attribute out so 91% of its power is still based on S-Atk. Yeah, R-Atk gunslash is not cool.
Also gunslash ranged-heavy PAs are not very strong anyway. Aiming Shot has low power with long animation, and Thrillsplosion is... awkward. You can mob, but not boss with a ranged gunslash build.

While we're on the topic of this, can I use Celesta Laser as my Gunslash? That 35% TAJA looks really appealing, and I'm already at Pot Lv. 2.

[nguuuquaaa]

I don't see why not, you'll need to TAJA as a FI anyway.
A 13* is still better since Serpent Air spamming is quite effective in certain case.

Also Celesta Laser is 32% at max.

P/S: I love my Union. Gunslash is quite PP inefficient in exchange for good PP recovery so that -10% PP cost help a lot.
