Gatling Gun

The Gatling Gun is a ranged weapon in Xenoblade Chronicles X, used by the Shield Trooper and Bastion Warrior classes, with rank 10 of the Bastion Warrior granting mastery. Additionally, the characters Lin, Frye, and Nagi use this weapon.

Overview
Gatlings provide pure offense, since they have six s that deal offensive damage, with three of them being specifically thermal damage and most of them dealing area-of-effect damage. The Gatling's auto-attack fires large numbers of rapid-fire bullets (28 to 48), and while each shot only grants 1, this can be increased using Ranged: TP Gain Up for quick Overdrives.

Gatling guns can also make the most of an Overdrive, since each Art fires a large volley of bullets at the enemy, increasing the count each time an attack is performed. Combining this with a green Art doubles the count, so the damage can ramp up very quickly.

However, they offer little in the way of defense other than healing through Enhanced Stand or the combination of Titan Recharge and. Typically, it's paired with a Shield for the reflection from Supershield during longer battles, or a Knife with its Full Specs aura to allow for one powerful Art to end the fight quickly.
