Story
Gunslinger was an ancient title bestowed upon a particularly active legion during the First Demon Wars. The only extant record from that time, the Chronicles of Klayah, reveals that although the title “Gunslinger” had fallen into obscurity, it was indeed used by the most powerful kingdom of the time during the First Demon Wars.
However, Kounat came to an untimely end with a mysterious explosion. The secrets of the Maverick and the secrets of buliding them were lost forever. It is believed by scholars that the rifles used today by the Dwarves of Archimedia are based on the ancient design of the Maverick.
Characteristics
The Maverick-wielding Gunslingers have a variety of unique magic and machines at their disposal that can induce their enemies to walk right into thermal traps, allowing for effective mid-distance attacks. The Gunslinger’s Triple Missiles attack compensates for the fact she has a weak long distance attack by enhancing the Maverick’s inherent strengths. The Gunslinger continues to use the Rune Caster’s Mana Shield and Dash Jump; however the Gunslinger’s version is stronger than that of the Rune Caster’s, who has always been weak when it came to close quarter combat, and the summoned W.D.W. has also been enhanced. The Gunslinger’s many skills can be confusing at first, but with practice and training she is a force to be reckoned with on the battle field.
With a normal attack combo, the Gunslinger can perform up to 4 hits (3 + double-attack). The fourth hit in the combo will knock enemies down and back.
With the Maverick’s power comes a potentially debilitating limiter on combat effectiveness: the Overheat gauge. Located below the MP gauge, this bar fills up as the Maverick is fired and its barrel heats up. If the gauge reaches full/critical, Mari can no longer fire until the heat dissipates from the barrel; the gun will refuse to reload and all pressing the attack key will result in is the clicking of a gun without ammunition. Approximately 7 shots can be fired before the heat level reaches critical. Also,assuming the barrel isn’t overheated, a moment after ceasing fire, the barrel will begin to cool down. A good balance between firing and waiting will enable you to keep the gun available for use at all times. Full heat dissipation from critical requires about 5 seconds, after which the gun will be available for use again.

Skills
| Shock Wave | High Power Rush | Chaos Beam |
- Shock Wave (1st MP)
Gunslinger’s 1st grade attack where Mari fires her Maverick into the ground, causing a series of explosions to burst up from the ground. Its maximum range is 1/2 to the edge of the screen. Also, more damage will be realized against enemies in melee range, as at the skill’s maximum range, only one eruption will hit. - High Power Rush (2nd MP)
Gunslinger’s 2nd grade attack summons a cannon that shoots a volley of missiles which explode within a specific area. It is similar to Rune Caster’s Shock Field skill, this attack fills an entire side of the screen with damage. Enemies closer to the middle of the skill’s range will be struck by more explosions. - Chaos Beam (3rd MP)
Gunslinger’s 3rd grade attack summons a highly destructive weapon that shoots a ray beam. Any enemies in its path will be instantly vaporized. The horizontal range of this skill is long, reaching beyond the edge of the screen. Its vertical range is limited though, roughly Mari’s height. The beam is quite powerful, and will knock back light enemies struck by it. Amusingly, Mari summons characters in what looks like the Power Rangers to assist her.

Additional Info
* Gunslinger is one of three classes that uses a gun, the 2 others are Starlet and Bounty Hunter (obviously all Rufus Jobs).
* “Shock Wave” is an initial ability used by monsters, Magician, and Druid.
* Gunslinger is also known as Duelista in BGC although it leads to confusion because Sieghart’s 3rd Job is known as Duelist.
* The “Helper Bot” is used in the Gunslinger’s taunt.
* Chaos Beam appears to summon two characters which are similar to the Red Power Ranger and the Yellow Power Ranger from the Power Ranger series. Its also suggested that the cannon was probably designed by them as well.
* This is Mari’s only job that has an unbalanced or unequal armor set. (Right foot leg has a sock while left leg does not.)
