Guns Of Glory Duelist Gear: How to Choose the Best Brawl and PI Stats

Blitz allows for more customization than almost any other wargame. But what if you want to trick out a gear to be the ultimate killing machine, and do it with grace? Look no further than the duelist.

All factions can purchase a duelist upgrade. Duelists must be piloting a gear (or a strider in Caprice lists) but sub-lists may allow them to be placed in a strider or even a hover tank! Upgrading a duelist is the same cost as purchasing a veteran, is included in the cost of models with the Vet trait, and unlocks access to both veteran upgrades and duelist upgrades.

These kind of duelists will pick gears with high Brawl and ideally a high PI stat and melee weapon. They will upgrade or swap their weapon with the Old Reliable vet upgrade (if needed) and buy extra levels of Brawl with the In Your Face veteran upgrade. You can even add Paired Weapons for +1 burst. There are generally two ways to do well here. One is to get a high AP weapon and go for a lot of dice. The other is to focus on getting as high a result as possible to hunt models with hi ARM. The other (cheaper) option is to buy additional actions, start with a high damage weapon (such as those available from Smash Fest) and try to hit several times or several models. Remember that melee weapons can be used as many times as you have actions! Some sub-lists, like the SRA for the South have access to extra brawl dice in addition to these vet upgrades and can get into absurd territory.

A good option for a cheap duelist, you can purchase the EW Specialist skill on a gear with ECM and ECCM to jam signals very effectively. Extra actions can let you do this in the reactive turn, or auto on weapons could free you up to hack during your activation and still pose a threat with your guns. Access to shields or agile from duelist upgrades can also help the duelist be more survivable to keep an ECM bubble out for their friends, and with EW specialist and the right gear, you can be essentially unhackable.

Being immortal is a pretty neat skill. Using the veteran upgrades for field armor or immunizes (to haywire, corrosion, or fire) this duelist picks a huge gear and gives it Agile and a Shield. With their native reroll and maybe even Defender upgrade for AMS, this duelist can become very hard to remove. Put them on an objective in cover (maybe in smoke or ECM defense as well) and force your opponent to blow actions trying to kill them.

The final kind of duelist to consider is a mixture of upgrades. For example bring a melee monster in a gear with EW and add EW specialist. Bringing a Gun-Slinger and planning to act like the Cheerleader. Upgrading a few shooting skills on a short range model and also buying a cheap melee weapon and a dice of brawl to give you some AP options. 2ff7e9595c
