GU/FO - The Magical Gunner (Discussion)

[Sandmind]

Since I have Guild Milla, I went ahead and level'ed BO a little on Tasia. The result: no damage from sub, obviously, but I was a walking mini megiverse with Heal Share and that Deband atk PP combined with atk pp restore is insane regen.

That's about it, I didn't dig further, but a rainbow palette of TMG get more damage from BO than TE sub. Utility wise, both have it's up.

So speaking as a GU who doesn't own a guld milla, does it make more sense to stay GU/BO with a chain trigger emphasis on my gunner skill tree along with he 20% unconditional boost of perfect keeper and attack PP restorate or is it better to go with RA/BO since there's weak bullet, trap PP tactics/gravity bomb as well as damage boost for long distance attacks (provided this actually boost more than shooting attacks).

im currently playing fo/gu with crafted tmg with chain finish potential.
Furthermore, you can zondeel-stylish roll without any delay if you jumb after casting tech to cancel the animation.
Also, fo/gu is not amateur-friendly as it required a lot of skill to master the chain and ilbarta.
watch this video and analyse it. However, sega plans to nerf chain in the future too.
therefore, dont get your hope up.

in this video, i messed with chain as only 18 combo applied while >19 combo is much more damage.

check out my channel, there are some old video from ep2 when gunner dont get nerfed yet.

O___O holy hell. I'm assuming you have at least chain finish and elemental conversion maxed right? Why did it never occur to me to use uncharged auto target techs like rafoie, ra/sazan, grants, or ilbarta to keep up a chain...

Either way is a crafted Ilbarta the only way to do respectable tech chain finish damage because of its stacking damage nature?

[taizero00]

my ilbarta is crafted ice fang with +150% power. charge time is 1.2s
my chain finish is max and ofc element conversion. also only ilbarta chain combo is most natural combo with tmg while doing a huge damage.
* one more thing, i never run out of pp if i spam the ilbarta normal without chain unlike anything other force have to switch to gunlash or pp convert or PB.

Well good to see this nuttery still works.

The most satisfied Challenge ever make with FO/Gu

Spoiler!

[GALEFORCE]

That looks really promising. Be sure to update us when the Chain nerf hits. I hope it's still viable after.

[taizero00]

hugest nerf to stylisJA;;;60%->10%..
now fo/gu is no longer viable....just a quick updating...
thanks sega... now i cant play the class i love anymore

[Sandmind]

Yeah, GUFO leveling was good fun at the end of EP2, but I had been busy level capping TE and leveling BO in EP3, and with the announced further change to GU, I didn't invest more time/meseta on that class combo. I'm glad I did now...

One has to wonder if that grave making was because FOGU, as it standed, was going to outshine the eventual R+Tatk class next year?

On the flip side (no pun intended), maybe, just maybe, Sega will release some good TMG with great Tatk and PK latent and have it FO, TE and BO (why not?) able.
