Intensive Aim

Intensive Aim
Type:	Active/Supportive Skill
Levels:	1
Prerequisites
In order to gain this skill, the player has to complete a quest.

Intensive is an Expanded class passive skill available as Night Watch. This skill utilizes all five types of guns to provide varying combination buffs as well as a large buff when fully stacked that augments specific skills.

Combination Skill Masteries

When using a skill with a gun with this skill learned you will gain a "mastery" buff depending on which gun you used.

For example, you use Desperado with a Revolver and gain the "Revolver Mastery" buff. This buff will not affect Revolver skills and will only affect other guns while it is active. This buff remains active until you swap to another gun and use one of the listed skills with the new gun.

Once the new gun's skill is used the old mastery is consumed and replaced by the new gun's skill. The old mastery (in this case Revolver Mastery) becomes "fatigued" and cannot be used again until either 45 seconds have passed or all 5 masteries have been utilized.

This means its always faster to stack intensive aim by utilizing all 5 guns rather than swapping between one or two. However, you can still stack intensive aim if you are willing to wait out the cooldown.

Below you will find the combinations and how they augment the other skills/guns.

Intensive Aim Stacks and Activating Intensive Aim

After consuming a mastery and gaining as stack of Intensive Aim, you will see a gold bullet on the right side of your character. This stacks up to 10 times, and can be consumed at either 5 to 9 stacks, or 10 stacks. However, until used these also grant a damage buff of 2% damage per stack of Intensive Aim, up to 10 times for a total of 20% more physical damage. This damage works similar to a card type damage like Turtle General or Hydra card. Changing maps, however, will completely remove your Intensive Aim stacks.

To use your Intensive Aim stacks you can activate the skill like any other and then use another corresponding skill that is eligible for an Intensive Aim effect.

When you do this, your Intensive Aim stacks are immediately consumed and lost, however, if you activated Intensive Aim with a full 10 stacks then you will maintain the 20% damage buff for 1 minute. With enough rotations and active gameplay, it is possible to permanently keep up your 20% damage buff by constantly reapplying Intensive Aim.

Note that the 20% damage buff does not stack with itself during the 60 seconds after using Intensive Aim. Any stacks you gain will be tracked, but until the 60 seconds are up will not increase your damage any further than the 20% cap.

Gaining AP

AP is a new type of resource that Night Watch has to unleash their Limit Break skill, Slug Shot.

This skill is taught at the same time as Intensive Aim. It can only be cast once you have full AP.

Casting an Intensive Aim buffed skill at 5-9 stacks will grant 25% of the necessary AP to cast Slug Shot.

Casting an Intensive Aim buffed skill at a full 10 stacks will grant 50% of the necessary AP to cast Slug shot.

AP is not lost on map change, like Intensive Aim stacks are. To learn more about Slug shot visit the page linked above.

Stacked Intensive Aim

As you consume your masteries you will see your bullet stack up on the right of your character and a click sound to signify you are ramping up.

Once ramped up, you can choose to activate Intensive Aim by using the active portion of this skill. When you do this all your stacks are consumed and depending on how many stacks you have the effects for the skill you choose will be different. Note that only some skills can be buffed by the active portion of this skill.
