Aika Online: Dual Gunner 101

Before you start reading that bunch of junk data below, please do take note that this post intention was not to make it look like a guide. Rather, the intention is to offer a place where people could come and have a quick glance at what a Dual Gunner class could offer them or use it as a reference.

That being said, let me welcome you to the first post of the 101 series. *Clap clap clap~ xD

A Dual Gunner, often known as damage dealers. Your main role in a party would be to dish out large amount damage in a short time and to DO that, you rely on your equipments and skills greatly. (erm.. of course, when I say skills, it refers to BOTH Dual Gunner skills and the PLAYER skills. :p) Dual Gunners have a bunch of skills like the other classes. And below, I will highlight the skills that are more important to a damage dealing Dual Gunner, in my HUMBLE opinion, of course. :)

1. Poison Ivy.

One of the first skill you can get (Lvl 4). You should at least put ONE skill point here. This is a fairly handy skill as it allows you to root the target and stop it from moving. Trying to escape from enemy? Root it! Trying to STOP enemy escaping? Root it! Trying to prevent mobs from attacking your Cleric from melee mobs? Root it! Ok, you get the message... xD What? Yer asking how long the root last? Well, the higher you upgrade it, the longer it last. Huh? Yer didnt know skills can be upgraded? Noooooooob! :p

Ok, let's ignore the noob and move on. xD

2. Full Auto

You get this at level 12 and it will be one of your most used skill in a while. Basically, this skill let you unleash 10 bullets in a SECOND! Wooot!!!! Nothing to be happy about, thats a gimmick actually. =.=;; Because, the damage of your skill depends on the skill level, not the damage per bullet. Anyway, max it!

3. Maelstrom

You get this at level 19. Now, this black cloud of smoke is no joke. Although it is not a damage skill strictly speaking, its so call a damage enhancing skill. And it enhances your damage GREATLY! Upon the use of this skill, a certian amount of damage will be added everytime you attack your target - up to 10 times OR within 10 seconds. And guess what, Maelstrom treat Full Auto as ONE attack! How cool is that? xD

~.~ Huh? Yer don't get it? Ok, fine. I will explain further. Remember the gimmick I mentioned earlier? Full Auto fires 10 bullets in a second? Yup, you got that. Each bullet fire from Full Auto will have the addition damage and yet Maelstrom took it as one attack.

Example:
Let's just put it that you have a level 1 Maelstrom which deal additional 26 damage per attack. After you Maelstrom your target, you fire 10 normal attacks. The damage that you deal will be as below.

10 normal attacks + 10 x 26 = 10 normal attacks + 260 damage.

Now lets incorporate Full Auto into Maelstrom with 9 normal attacks.

(9 normal attacks + 9 x 26) + Full Auto (10 bullets + 10 x 26) = 9 normal attacks + Full Auto + 494 damage.

Can you see how much difference it is now? And it just get better at higher levels. So, max it. Next please! xD

4. Crossfire

*Please do not mind all chats in the above pictures as they are all purely fictional~ xD

Your first and only AOE skill for a very long time to go. You get it at level 32. Using this let you fire 8 bullets at EVERY target within 5 meters from you! And similar to Full Auto, the 8 bullets is a gimmick too. =.=;; But WAIT! That means that it works the same way as Full Auto in Maelstrom too! Thats right, little buddy~ You are getting better now. xD

Basically, a simple Maelstrom + Full Auto + Crossfire + 8 normal attacks combo deals HUGE damage! How much exactly? Hahaha. Calculate yourself, thank you. I am too lazy to do the whole fomula thingy now. :p

PS: Max it too please. xD

Well, there are still some more pretty cool skills for Dual Gunner. However, since they are all kinda self-explanatory, I will not go through them. Unless there are request for them. Hehe.

So now, lets look at the skills that YOURS TRULY have choosen for Dual Gunner, shall we? Those skills that I put only 1 point on them means they are handy to use but i do not see the point in upgrading them further. And of course, those are by no means the BEST build, just best IN MY humble opinion only. xD

Ciaossu for now. ^^
