class-wiki: Gunslinger rework

New page

'''Gunslinger''' is an [[Expanded Classes|expanded class]] on Vortex Legends that fights with firearms: revolvers, rifles, shotguns and gatling guns. Gunslingers stock coins to fuel their buffs and stances, and each weapon type has its own set of attack skills.

The skill tree is organised into four branches:

* '''Coins and Stances''': self-buffs paid for with coins, including two stances that cannot be active together.
* '''Rapid Fire''': revolver and gatling skills built around fast normal attacks and follow-up shots.
* '''Rifle''': slow, aimed shots with heavy single-target damage.
* '''Shotgun''': close-range control, weapon-scaling blasts and area damage.

Skill points can be spent freely across branches, so hybrid builds remain playable. Many attack skills require a specific weapon type, so a Gunslinger usually specialises around one or two firearms.

----

== Coins and Stances ==

This branch spends coins gathered with [[Coin Flip]] on self-buffs: an accuracy buff, a defensive stance, an offensive stance and magic-infused bullets.
