The Corsair is the Gunslinger branch, entirely defined by the Battleship in 4th job. Battleship Cannon is the primary damage skill while mounted. With Rapid Fire as backup, Bullseye for boss damage, and a unique "dismounting" playstyle for boss fights.

Overview

Strengths

• Battleship - Battleship mount with its own HP pool, enormous damage from Battleship Cannon
• Bullseye - Bullseye marks target for +20% multiplicative damage
• Ice Splitter - Ice Splitter freezes enemies, protects Battleship HP
• Versatile elements - Fire and Ice attacks for exploiting weaknesses

Weaknesses

• Battleship dependency - Losing the ship costs ~75% DPS
• Active playstyle - Must "dismount" during boss attacks to preserve ship HP
• Prereqs for 4th job - Homing Beacon must be 30 and Gaviota must be 15+ for 4th job skills

AP Build

DEX is the main stat (opposite of Buccaneer!). Start DEX 13. +4 DEX / +1 STR, cap STR ~60-70. STRless (base 4 STR) restricts you to Maple guns.

18-20	Dash to 10 (MAX)
21-27	Bullet Time to 20 (MAX)
28-30	Sommersault Kick to 11

	Invisible Shot	20
	Grenade	20
	Gun Booster	20

3rd Job - Outlaw (Level 70-119)

	Skill	Max Lv
	Burst Fire	20
	Octopus	30
	Gaviota	30
	Flamethrower	30
	Ice Splitter	30
	Homing Beacon	30

Skill Build

Level	SP Allocation
70-76	Burst Fire to 20 (MAX) - enhanced Double Shot
77-86	Ice Splitter to 30 (MAX) - freeze up to 6 mobs, 3-second freeze
87-96	Flamethrower to 30 (MAX) - fire DoT, 6 targets

Explanation

Ice Splitter before Flamethrower - freeze utility is more valuable than raw fire damage, and it protects your Battleship HP in 4th job. CRITICAL: Homing Beacon MUST reach 30 and Gaviota MUST reach 15 minimum - these are hard prerequisites for 4th job skills ( Bullseye and Aerial Strike respectively).

	Elemental Boost	10
	Wrath of the Octopi	10
	Bullseye	10

179-188	Battleship Torpedo to 30 (MAX)
189+	Aerial Strike to 30, Hypnotize to 30

Explanation

Battleship Cannon is everything - your DPS while mounted is ~75% of your total output. Bullseye is a massive 20% multiplicative damage boost for bossing. Battleship at max gives highest ship HP for survivability. Dismounting meta: In boss fights, jump off your ship during boss attacks to preserve ship HP, then remount. This makes Corsair the most mechanically active class in boss fights. Rapid Fire is your backup when the ship goes down.
