Gunner

"Versatile bearers of firearms. Able to attack, bind, and heal according to the situation."

—Gunner description, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight

Powerful soldiers who's skills lie in high-caliber firearms that are guaranteed to blow a hole in the enemy's defenses, let alone their bodies.

The Gunner (ガンナー Gunner in the Japanese version) is a class of experts at ranged combat using various firearms. They can aim for specific body parts to disable them, fire off specialized rounds that pinpoint an enemy's weakness, or take time to prepare devastating blasts whose sheer power is something to behold. They can even restore their allies' conditions. Gunners typically aren't quick on their feet, and due to their low health and defenses it's best for these bearers of powerful firearms to sit in the back lines, picking the enemy apart at a distance.

Profile

Gunner makes a special appearance in the first game's remake as Frederica Irving's class. It is thus exclusive to Story Mode unless switched to using Alter Class. Gunner lost a few gun skills from Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard in exchange for new utility skills.

• Strengths: Great firepower that can be dealt in large bursts, and can perform elemental attacks, bind body parts, and medically support their allies.
• Weaknesses: Very ineffective on the front line due to poor defenses, especially when using Charged attacks. Class is exclusive to Frederica unless switched to using Alter Class.

Profile

Masters of firearms, the Gunner can destroy their opponents through a variety of ranged precision strikes. They're not particularly quick or durable, but their power and versatility make up for their flaws, allowing them to keep up with the rest of the party without missing a beat, so long as they are safely tucked away in the back lines. From that ensconced position, they can ignore all defense to aim their most powerful shots. Should their allies be in danger, they can employ special medical bullets to support them. As a contrary to their high power, their low TP pool makes them a difficult partner to upkeep.

• Strengths: Great firepower, and can perform elemental attacks, bind body parts, and medically support their allies.
• Weaknesses: Poor defenses, especially when using Risk attacks. Low TP pool, and terrible Agility growth impairs accuracy and speed.
• Force skill - Riot Gun: The gunner focuses all of its will into a single, powerful bullet guaranteed to stun an enemy.

Profile

Gunners in EO2U now have their damage scale off Agility, which would have made them the worst class in the game had they not swapped their Strength that was top-tier in EO2 for it. Now they have even more than Survivalists, turning them from slow glass cannons into slightly less glassy speedy attackers. Like the previous Untold, Gunners trade a few gun skills for several active and passive utility skills, but focus less on regular attacks and more on line-piercing skills. Along with these skills, they hold a mixture of binding, elemental, and support skills, allowing them to fill multiple roles in the party at once, but remain best at doing ranged damage.

• Strengths: Great firepower that can be dealt in large bursts, and can perform elemental attacks, bind body parts, and medically support their allies. Speedy.
• Weaknesses: Highly vulnerable on the front line due to poor defenses, especially when using Charged attacks.
• Force Boost - Action Boost: For 3 turns, Gun skills will be used twice in a row, although the second usage will be weaker.
• Force Break - Supreme Bolt: Powerful stab attack to 1 enemy, near-guaranteed chance to stun. Unusable if the Gunner's arms are bound.

Profile

Of all the ranged physical offensive specialists in the series, the Gunners of High Lagaard are the ones to answer the call to Maginia. Unlike their Fafnir Knight version, they return to the strong but slow method, sacrificing Agility for incredible Strength and Luck for astounding damage output and snipe binding success. This does mean they take a hit to accuracy, which generally must be offset with equipment, buffs, or ailment support. The Gunner is a flexible damage dealer and support, but their poor HP and Vitality puts them on the backline.

• Strengths: Incredible firepower, strong binding ability. Great TP pool for a damage class.
• Weaknesses: Terrible HP and Vitality makes them incredibly glassy on the frontlines, especially when aiming Charged Shots. Some skills have poor accuracy.
• Force Boost - Double Action: For 3 turns, Gun skills activate twice. The second is weaker, but costs no TP.
• Force Break - Riot Gun: Powerful ranged stab attack to 1 enemy, high chance of stun.

Skill Breakdown

Since Gunner's inception in Heroes of Lagaard, fragile long-range physical attackers have been a staple in the series. The Gunners of Nexus borrow from some of them, such as Pop Flare from Arbalists. Interestingly, Scattershot first appeared as one of Gunner's skills in Etrian Mystery Dungeon. Gunners have a wide variety of attacks they can launch, allowing them to adapt to the party. They can be more on the sturdy and supportive side like Hunting Hound Rovers by focusing on Snipes and support skills, or lean into higher risks for higher rewards like Front Mortar Arbalists by focusing on higher damage attack skills.

One of their core movesets is the Snipes. Like the original Gunner's Snipe, Leg Snipe, Arm Snipe, and Head Snipe never miss their target, although the binding can fail. Leg Snipe's leg binding ensures that the target cannot be missed by subsequent shots.

Over the years the Etrian Odyssey series has clearly moved away from attack skills that are just a stronger regular attack. For Gunner this means every skill has some kind of tradeoff. The Ricochet branch plays around with accuracy, most trading away accuracy for more damage or hitting more than one target. Feint Shot is the only one with an accuracy improvement, which unsurprisingly reduces enemy evasion, but also deals less damage for a higher TP cost. Accuracy issues can also be solved by giving up an armor slot for Aim Goggles, and later Target Goggles.

The Charged Shot/Fire/Ice/Volt branch begins with Act Quick. This "charge" ability has a number of uses for other skills, but for the Charged branch in particular it allows the Gunner to nearly eliminate the vulnerability and TP costs. Time spent on Act Quick, however, is time not dealing damage. The drop in DPS is somewhat like basic elemental Rounds fired by Gunners in previous games. Act Quick's usefulness depends on whether TP has to be conserved or a danger point has to be avoided to win long boss fights, where the Charged skills are Gunner's most effective attacks.

While the Untolds introduced most of the utility and support skills, Medic Bullet is the same as usual. Cover Support only works when the Gunner is in the back line. There isn't much reason for them to be anywhere else, since there is no advantage to bringing this version of Gunner to the front line like there sometimes is for other long-range specialists. Shell Shock sometimes helps deal with random encounters and helper minions, but is not a priority. Penetrator works for normal attacks, thankfully, since the whole Ricochet branch is unaffected. The Force Boost Double Action will repeat Medic Bullet, and can combine with Multi-Shot to fire off an attack skill 3 or 4 times in one turn. Though the extra attack deals 40% damage, Snipes get another chance to bind and Feint Shot extends its debuff's duration.

Subclassing

In Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Gunners can gain the ability to subclass like the rest of the adventurers.

Subclasses for Gunner

• Protectors don't require most stats to use their Guard skills, so a Gunner can use them when the party is threatened by dangerous telegraphed attacks, or DEFEND to heal everyone with Healing Wall and Cover Fire combined. HP Up and Phys DEF Up are also welcome to offset the Gunner's vulnerability to physical attacks.
• Ronin give Phys ATK Up and Speed Up. The latter becomes important in improving the Gunner's action speed and offsetting their poor accuracy. Upper Stance adds a stacking damage boost, but doing so requires a Katana to be equipped, so it's picked for a build that goes all-in on offense.
• Zodiacs and Imperials are subclasses of choice for the elemental Charge Gunner. For the former, Etheric Gleam and Singularity improve elemental damage and amplify bonuses for striking weaknesses. For the latter, Element Boost stacks with the Gunner's Phys ATK Up and Absorber gives some TP back for striking weaknesses.
• Nightseekers give Follow Trace, which can be combined with Multi-Hit and Double Action. They also provide ailments and more ranged attacks through their Throw skills, which also benefit from the Gunner's high Strength and Luck stats. Speed Up is also good for countering the Gunner's low turn speed and accuracy. For Blade Flurry's sub-weapon, the Gunner can use the petrify-inducing Rock Cannon to cover another ailment.
• Pugilists are for the binding Gunner. Status ATK Up and Meditation raise binding success rate and Adrenaline gives TP back on successful Snipes. Raging Billows is also a great passive to take, offering up to 50% bonus damage on a fully disabled enemy.
• Heroes get in the running due to Afterimage. The extra attacks from both Double Action and Multi-shot can create Afterimages, so a Gunner can temporarily be almost as good as a full Hero at making them. Afterimages created while Double Action is active also repeat their attack skill.

Gunner as Subclass

Gunners provide damage-boosting passives for offensive classes and TP Up to help them spam attacks, and support skills and a ranged attack for those who would stay on the back line.

• Protectors with a Gunner subclass, as opposed to the inverse, put a greater emphasis on defense than offense, but the Gun skills at half their usual maximum still deal a good amount of damage, somewhat replicating Dragoon from the fifth game. Focus on Charge skills on turns where you don't need defense to get the most bang for your buck.
• Zodiacs want the extra TP Up, and Penetrator works on anything charged by Etheric Charge, but guns don't give enough magic attack for Zodiacs. If they want they can even cut costs with Act Quick.
• Farmers toting guns can fall back on the Snipes to pinpoint a particular bind. Cover Support lets a Farmer provide healing to the front line, and Medic Bullet is good for removing status ailments in an emergency.
• Imperials, being the TP-starved frontline parallels to the Gunner, make great use of Act Quick to greatly discount their Drive skills and boost their action speed to circumvent the defense penalty.
• Pugilists gain a good chance for extra attacks when Penetrator hits the enemy's back line, which several of their combo attacks can do. A lucky Multi-Shot can easily reach Lash Out's 9-hit limit. They can choose a gun to dual-wield for Million Rush, and Snipe from a distance if they need to.

Sketch of a gunner's attire.

Female gunner sketch.

Part of an illustration from Sekaiju no MeiQ Collection of Visual Materials.

"Training" a beast.

A gunner trains hard every day. There are so many techniques to learn. We must strike our enemies down with Weakshot! Heal our allies with Medishot! Target our enemy's weak points! Quickly reload elemental bullets! And when all else fails, use the Riot Gun! But is our instructor really asking us to shoot bananas out of an enemy's hand...?

Trivia

• One of the female gunners uses a button of Jack Frost, a character of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and the official mascot of Atlus.
• This is one of the four classes from the first two games which have the same name in both English and Japanese versions, the other three being Medic, Alchemist and Dark Hunter.
• According to their New Job Training entry, the middle-aged gunner is an instructor to the other three.
