Normal Attack

Gunblade has three different variations of Normal Attacks.

tip

• Short Range Hot Shot increases the Potency of all Normal Attacks.

NA123

Tap Normal Attack to fire a single shot forward. Re-tap up to two more times to chain a total of three shots. Each successive stage is stronger than the previous.

Variation	Potency	Time (s)	PP Cost	Focus	Focus/s	F0 DPS	F5 DPS	OD DPS
NA123	285	1.15	-19	6	26	248	276	289
NA123(SRHS)	371	1.15	-19	6	26	322	359	376

cNA

Holding the Normal Attack button performs a Charged Normal Attack. The first charged stage unleashes several shots in rapid succession.

Variation	Potency	Time (s)	PP Cost	Focus	Focus/s	F0 DPS	F5 DPS	OD DPS
cNA	345	1.45	-21	5.2	18	238	265	277
cNA(SRHS)	448.5	1.45	-21	5.2	18	309	344	361

scNA

Charging the Normal Attack up to the second charged stage releases a powerful AoE blast attack.

tip

• After releasing this charged attack you will receive super armor and frontal guard for the duration of 0.5 seconds.

Variation	Potency	Time (s)	PP Cost	Focus	Focus/s	F0 DPS	F5 DPS	OD DPS
scNA	620	2.6	-20	13	25	238	265	278
scNA(SRHS)	806	2.6	-20	13	25	310	345	361

Charged Blade

After releasing a charged Normal Attack using the Weapon Action button at the right moment will quickly thrust you toward the enemy.

tip

• During this thrust you will be granted super armor and an omnidirectional guard for 0.4 seconds.
• Because Charged Blade counts as a Weapon Action, you can perform a Blade Counter when guarding an attack with it.

Variation	Potency	Time (s)	PP Cost	Focus	Focus/s	F0 DPS	F5 DPS	OD DPS
Charged Blade	220	0.5	-7	4	40	440	490	513
cNA>Charged Blade	565	1.95	-28	9.2	24	290	322	338
scNA>Charged Blade	840	3.1	-27	17	27	271	302	316
