Strategy[]
Tips:[]
- Always have a Gunblade equipped. Better the Gunblade you equip is, more damage your abilities will do.
- Try to get item that reduce armor, because every of his skill is physical damage.
- It's more wise to get Punishment or Flame Saber in late game for auto attack damage then using Lionheart because physical damage will drop a lot in late game. Punishment have stun chance in each hit and Flame Saber have magical damage scalling with agi 25% chance.
