Freestyle Shot
Firing ATK
A one-handed pistol stance. Althought it has a poor accuracy, it allows for quick firing of a series of bullets.
Pistol
Characters that can use this stance:
Brunie Etiene, Catherine of STR/DEX/INT, Grace, Stock Musketeer
Character level requirement:
24
Granadosource's take:
Freestyle shot is a well rounded stance that allows musketeers to have evasion and at the same time maintain a competetive amount of attack speed and critical rate. Freestyle gives you more freedom as it offers a good single target skill, a self buff and a good mobbing skill. Comparing it to another single pistol stance - Aiming Shot - It has lesser accuracy thus leading to lesser damage and it doesn't have skills you can chain and spam.
Westraid is a very handy self buff for single pistol users. Since you're lacking in power (accuracy) you can offset it with speed in a way increasing your DPS. Westraid is also a skill that can be used in Dual Pistol stance so you can go pump Westraid in Freestyle and max a more useful skill in Dual Pisol stance first. Triple Firing is a good mini-boss skill. The recovery time isn't fast enough for it to be spammable. It has a knockback ability making it worth using even in PvP. The Quick and the Dead is the stance's last skill. It randomly shoots target in its AoE and it deals really good damage. The only downside of the skill is that it has a limited radius.
