Description

By focusing all of your energy into your Mana Bullets, this skill draws out the full potential of Dual Guns. While the Way of the Gun skill is active, you will have unlimited Mana Bullets, all Dual Gun skill cooldowns will be reset, and all Dual Gun attacks will be Critical hits. This will empty your guns of Mana Bullets, though.

Details

A player activating Way of the Gun. The ammo count becomes infinite for a short duration

• Requires Dual Guns equipped in order to use.
• While active:
  • Both Normal Attacks and Dual Gun Skills receive a damage bonus depending on the rank of Way of the Gun.
  • Normal Attacks from Dual Guns are guaranteed to critical, disregarding the user's critical stat, the enemy's protection, and the critical rate cap.
    • Because all normal attack hits are criticals, it is possible to repeatedly stun the enemy and even knockback with consecutive hits.
  • Normal Attacks from Dual Guns have their Attack Speed increased.
    • This stacks with the Attack Speed Set Effect from the Chinese Dragon Set and Attack Speed/Fast Attack Enchants as well as Vivace.
  • Normal Attacks from Dual Guns do not consume Durability for the duration of the skill.
  • The user's Dual Guns have unlimited ammunition.
  • Any Dual Gun Skills on cooldown prior to this skill's activation are refreshed.
• The message "Way of the Gun activated." will appear when the skill is used.
  • The message "Way of the Gun has ended." will appear when the skill ends.
• This skill can still be loaded even if the user has an empty chamber.
• A green bar under the user's health will indicate how much time is left, depleting as time continues.
• The chamber count at the bottom will temporarily change itself into a solid fill with the "infinite sign" as the counter.
  • When the skill's duration ends, the user will be left with 0 bullets in the chamber of the gun used. Therefore, it is more efficient to use the skill with no ammo.
    • Dual Gun Skills except for Bullet Storm loaded before Way of the Gun ends will not cancel and can still be used despite not having any ammo.
• Switching to any other weapon, even to another dual gun, as well as ranking any skill will cancel Way of the Gun.
  • Way of the Gun does not cancel upon being knocked back or knocked down.
• It is not possible to use Reload while Way of the Gun is active.
• It is possible to use Potions and other non-Dual Gun skills such as Mana Shield as well as mounting while Way of the Gun is active.
• Can be used during Counterattack and Windmill's animation.
• Unlike most skills, Way of the Gun uses a percentage of the user's maximum Stamina based on the skill's rank, rather than a fixed number.

Skill Issues

• The in-game description says all dual gun skills are guaranteed to critical. This is not true and only applies to normal attacks.

Obtaining the Skill

Memory Book

Rewarded for clearing Generation 8: Dragon and speaking to Blaanid during Clear Storyline Chapter 2 in the Fourth Memoir.

• The skill will have training requirements up to Rank 9 completed.

Other Methods

• Learn the Grapple Shot or Bullet Slide skill up to rank B.

Training Method

• Grapple Shot contributes to "Attack an enemy while the Way of the Gun skill is in effect" even if used on other creatures.

Tips

• Way of the Gun trains best at areas where a large amount of defeatable mobs are present and grouped closely together.
  • Outskirts District 1 of Shyllien Nature Reserve is a good training spot due to the mass amounts of Mutant Rabbits. However, one's damage should be preferably high, as the Mutant Rabbits have large amounts of HP.
  • For Fast Ranking Up, Tara Rath Royal Castle Kitchen Dungeon is a good training spot due to the infinite amounts spawn of food monster. Kill and hit enemies using Shock or Dance of Death while using Way of Guns is counting as requirement. As experience using this method only take less than two hour to Rank 1 Way of the Gun, but since Shock and Dance of Death require finishing G (Mainstream Quests) episode this method not available for newbie.
• Shooting Rush, preferably Rank 9 due to its reduced cooldown time, is recommended to be used alongside Way of the Gun, as it attack range and radius covers a fairly large amount.
