Portraits

Gunslingers and Bounty Hunters are level 6 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Watchtower.

Heroes with a specialty

• Tancred the Mercenary has Gunslingers as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters for each level attained after 6th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Special Ability: Preemptive Shot

Preemptive Shot triggers when the Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter is targeted by a ranged attack in combat, retaliating against their attacker with a ranged shot before the enemy has a chance to fire. Gunslingers can only do this once per round, while Bounty Hunters can do this an unlimited number of times.

Preemptive Shot does not trigger if there is an enemy unit adjacent to the Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter, unless the hero has Bow of the Sharpshooter equipped.
