This is the High Rank Gunner Version of the Battle Armor.

Click for High Rank Blademaster Version of Battle S Armor.

Jewels
This armor has 6 slots, so it has only limited gemming options. If you want to gem out the Faint Duration [X2], insert 1 Steadfast Jewel. This leaves 5 slots open for gemming. It's possible to gem in Attack Up Large or Damage Rec Speed +2 with a 3-slotted weapon or with a 2-slotted weapon, but the latter will causes Faint Duration [X2] to remain. You can also gem in Attack Up Medium without weapon slots, or Attack Up Medium and Autotracker, but in order to remove Faint Duration [X2] you will need at least 1 weapon slot. It is also possible to gem in certain skills and remove Faint Duration [X2].

Remarks

 * Decent Gunner Armor with nice skills and some gemming possibilities. At 26 a piece, it also possesses high defenses for its level, as the most powerful High Rank Gunner armor has 34 a piece. High defense combined with Attack up S makes this an armor that's usable throughtout High Rank and Nekoth's Quests and allows the continued use of weaker bowguns and bows, though not too long of course. And, not unimportant, the armor looks very stylish with its special goggles and left arm. This all combined, makes it one of the better High Rank armors.
 * It's possible to use the Helm instead of the Cap: this will give you +13 PsychicVis instead of +11, but it grants only 1 slot instead of 2, so unless you really need the 2 slots or the better elemental resistances on the Cap, the Helmet is a good option with higher defense.
