Description

Magic bullets are a combination of bullets that have elemental damage with debuffs. They have two main advantages. First, they carry an element. This means that you have at your disposal most elements rather easily. This can help you be more versatile. All of them use 1 bullet and have a varying MP cost. They fire slightly slower than normal shooting and have a cooldown. The status effects they inflict do not always work and the chance varies. All of the same element will cooldown at the same time. For example, if you fire Forgetful Bullet Hole (Magic), then Toxic Bullet Hole and Spell Mute Bullet Hole will become unavailable until Forgetful Bullet Hole finishes cooling down. Cooldown isn't always a problem, as your next Freischutz skill should be finished cooling down by the time you attack with a skill of another element, making Freischutz non-stop. More cooldown makes you less effective, but because your bullets will be inflicting more damage and inflicting status effects, Freischutz is easily one of the most useful gunner abilities in the game. Freischutz is one of the easiest starter skills, later in the game however you get a rather low damage output compared to, for instance, mages. Freischutz is best suited for dungeons, where it boasts a great deal of affinity exploitation. However, the PVP capabilities are near abysmal unless the gunner can hit fast and deal a lot of damage. However, the gunner will be able to do nothing when teamed up on. It is best to stay behind a team mate and back them up, where Freischutz can come in handy for the duo. Damage can be boosted with Sharpshooter, Magic Fidelity and various gears.

Freischutz gunners have a diverse range of support. Debuffing an enemy can basically cancel out their effectiveness. Enchanting Bullet Hole can stop a demon entirely by charming them, allowing you to focus on the entire mob. Spell Mute Bullet Hole can decimate a spell user's battle capabilities. Forgetful Bullet Hole can inflict Amnesia (muddle) on an enemy, rendering them practically useless. The combinations are limited only by the user's creativity and technique with choosing which attacks to use in succession.

Progression

Requirements to Unlock: Shot at Class 2-0, Curse Magic at Class 2-0, Gun Knowledge at Class 1-0, Magic Fidelity at Class 1-0
Raising: You raise Freischutz by gaining rank in its component Expertises.

• Gains expertise equal to 30% of your Shot level.
• Gains expertise equal to 10% of your Curse Magic level.
• Gains expertise equal to 40% of your Gun Knowledge level.
• Gains expertise equal to 20% of your Magic Fidelity level.

By using Freischutz skills, Gun Knowledge and Magic Fidelity will both increase. This means that the most effective way to raise Freischutz is to use Freischutz in the beginning and if you can use Ranged Shot from the Shot expertise (not to be confused with Range shot, which only raises Shot expertise) since it raises both Shot and Gun Knowledge. The ratio of Gun Knowledge and Magic Fidelity expertise gained from Squalling Bullet Hole is 2:1. (This means Gun Knowledge is raised faster than Magic Fidelity.)

Curse Magic is not recommended to raise higher than Class 2 unless you wish to combine Curse of the Wretched into your build. Most pure Freischutz builds will be focusing on Shot and Gun Knowledge as a means of raising Freischutz, with perhaps a few Magic Fidelity classes for MP cost reduction.
