Artillerist Guide
Complete Artillerist guide covering the Barrage and Firepower Enhancement (FPE) builds, including the Bombardier Tank and Jumper Piano setups.
Identity
Firepower & Barrage Meters
Artillerist fills a Firepower Meter (left bar) and a Barrage Meter (right bar) by hitting enemies with any skill. Firepower Meter grants 10% damage per level up to 30% at level 3, and the Firepower Enhancement engraving provides an additional 42% normal skill damage from meter level 1. At level 3 you can activate Kindle for 25% normal skill damage and 35% MP recovery for 8 seconds, after which the meter resets. When the Barrage Meter is full you can enter Barrage mode, transforming your skills into their Barrage-exclusive forms — this is replaced by Barrage Attack when running Firepower Enhancement.
Synergy

Core Priority
Cores are Bombardier Tank (Sun), Safehouse (Moon), and Vanquish (Star).
Damage is all into turret W, with Q providing a cooldown reset for W. Extended chair time, so make good use of the turret teleport to maintain W uptime if the boss repositions.
Chaos cores: Flashy Attack | Swift Attack (Sun), Smoldering Strike (Moon), Attack (Star).
Priorities
- Use Barrage: Focus Fire always before Barrage: Howitzer.
- Don't let Flamethrower and Gravity Explosion get canceled.
- Build Barrage Meter with your normal skills, then dump it in Barrage mode.
- Use Barrage: Location Transmission to reposition during Barrage Mode, such as entering support buffs.
- Always try to pair Flamethrower + Gravity Explosion and Homing Barrage + Air Raid together.
- Your rotation will de-sync no matter what — spam Forward Barrage during downtime.
