POISON_AMMO: 110% damage + Poison proc
SILVER_AMMO: 130% damage vs Undead

GUN_DAMAGE = BASE_DAMAGE × AMMO_MULTIPLIER

Casting Formula

Gunslinger doesn't cast magic
Gun attacks are instant (no cast time)
Reload time varies by gun type

Damage Formula

Gun Attack Damage:

GUN_DMG = (DEX×1.3 + STR×0.4 + GUN_ATK + AMMO_ATK) × SKILL_MULTIPLIER × AMMO_BONUS

Example: Gunslinger attack with Revolver (280% damage)
DEX=120, STR=70, GUN_ATK=140, AMMO_ATK=20

BASE_DMG = (120×1.3 + 70×0.4 + 140 + 20)
         = 156 + 28 + 140 + 20
         = 344

With Normal Ammo:
SKILL_DMG = 344 × 2.8 × 1.0 = 963.2 damage

With Fire Ammo (×1.2):
SKILL_DMG = 344 × 2.8 × 1.2 = 1155.8 damage!

With Shell Ammo AoE (×1.5):
SKILL_DMG = 344 × 2.8 × 1.5 = 1447.2 damage (but 70% accuracy)

Gunslinger Mastery Bonus:

MASTERY_BONUS = (DEX / 10) + (STR / 20)

DEX=120, STR=70:
Bonus = 12 + 3.5 = 15.5 extra damage!

Stacks with ammo bonuses!

Rapid Fire Mechanic:

Gunslinger can "rapid fire" with reduced accuracy:

RAPID_FIRE_COUNT = (AGI / 50) rounded
AGI=80: 1 rapid fire per attack
AGI=100: 2 rapid fire per attack
AGI=150+: 3 rapid fires per attack!

Each rapid fire deals 70% damage but no weapon penalty
Total = 1 + 0.7n damage (where n = number of rapid fires)

ASPD Formula

ASPD = 200 / (1 + AGI/200)

Gunslinger with AGI=90:
ASPD = 200 / (1 + 90/200)
     = 200 / 1.45
     = 137.9 ASPD ✓ Good for gun user

Unique Mechanics

Feature	Effect	Formula
Ammunition Cost	Zeny per shot	~50-200 Zeny
Reload Time	After X shots	Depends on gun
Gun Mastery	ATK bonus	DEX/10 + STR/20

Wind Ninjutsu: +50% wind damage
Earth Ninjutsu: +50% earth damage

Casting Formula

Ninjutsu has short cast time (faster than magic):

CastTime = BaseCast × (1 - (DEX×2 + INT) / 530)

Ninja with DEX=120, INT=60:
CastTime (1.5s) = 1500 × (1 - (240+60)/530)
                = 1500 × (1 - 300/530)
                = 1500 × 0.434
                = 651ms ✓ Very fast!

Damage Formula

Ninjutsu Damage:

NINJUTSU_DMG = (DEX×1.2 + INT×0.6 + WEAPON_ATK) × SKILL_MULTIPLIER × ELEMENT_BONUS

Example: Fire Blade (300% damage, Fire element)
DEX=120, INT=60, WEAPON=130

BASE_DMG = (120×1.2 + 60×0.6 + 130) = 144 + 36 + 130 = 310
SKILL_DMG = 310 × 3.0 × 1.5 (fire bonus) = 1395 damage!

Shadow Clone Mechanics:

Ninja can summon shadow clones:

CLONE_DMG = BASE_DMG × 0.85 (clones deal 85% damage)
CLONE_COUNT = (INT / 25) + 1
INT=60: 3 clones total
INT=100: 5 clones total!

With 5 clones attacking:
Total = (BASE_DMG × 5) + (CLONE_DMG × 5 × 0.85)
      = (BASE_DMG × 5) + (BASE_DMG × 4.25)
      = BASE_DMG × 9.25!

Massive multiplier!

Stealth Bonus:

Ninja in stealth gets damage bonus:

STEALTH_BONUS = 30% damage increase while hidden
BREAK_STEALTH_DAMAGE = 50% increase (expose for burst)

Coming out of stealth:
Damage = BASE_DMG × 1.5 (expose attack)

ASPD Formula

ASPD = 200 / (1 + AGI/200)

Ninja with AGI=110:
ASPD = 200 / (1 + 110/200)
     = 200 / 1.55
     = 129 ASPD ✓ Good
