==Skill 1 - Gun Spin==
;Basics 
:Load a bullet to a heirloom revolver. Tap on the attack button to fire in quick succession. Starts with 2 loads. Can hold up to 5 rounds.
*The will be equipped with a unique revolver titled "Devotee of Peace," a Legendary Handgun-type weapon that is otherwise unobtainable.
*For every use of his skill, he loads one round. Up to 5 can be loaded at once, or 6 with the Combo Buff. Each loaded bullet costs 1 energy.
**The skill can stack up to 2 charges, or 3 with the Combo Buff.
**Outside The Origin, the Mentor can also increase the maximum number of charges and rounds by 1 each.
**Attempting to use the skill, whether it is fully loaded or while firing, will trigger statue effects if they are available. Otherwise, nothing will happen, and no charges are consumed.
**Switching weapons or picking up other ones will cause the revolver's loaded ammo to be lost entirely.
*Once the gun is used, all loaded bullets will be shot consecutively. Each bullet deals 8 damage, has 5 critical chance and 6 inaccuracy. The attack cannot be interrupted, and the revolver disappears afterwards.
**It is still possible to do the basic melee attack while holding the revolver.
**The player can attack when the loading animation is still underway, causing it to be cancelled as all loaded rounds are launched.
**This skill takes 2 (1) seconds to cool down, and it will continue until it reaches the maximum charges.
**When the character is frozen, the revolver disappears.
*The skill is not affected by the condition and can still be used.
*The skill is unusable without energy.
;Skill Upgrade
:Bullets are enhanced and can pierce through enemies. 
*Devotee of Peace now fires piercing rounds and has 20 critical hit chance. The bullets change appearance.
;Mentor Upgrade
:Skill charges +1. Devotee of Peace max loads +1.
*Can hold up to 6 bullets (7 with the Combo Buff).
*The gun can stack up 3 charges (4 with the Combo Buff).
==Skill 2 - Bounty Tag==
;How to unlock
:Use 8,000 gems to unlock this skill.
;Basics
:Tag an enemy. Your bullet will target and track them. Get coins per tagged enemy killed.
*The skill will apply a red crosshair icon on an enemy for 10 seconds.
**If there are no applicable targets, the skill will not work and the cooldown does not apply, although statue effects can trigger.
**Killing a tagged enemy will change the targeting icon into an "x." The "x" will convert to coins after seconds.
***The number of coins is determined by enemy rank, such that common enemies give 1 coin, late enemies (that only appear in x-4 and x-5) and mines (Gold Mine or Crystal Mine) give 3 coins, and bosses give 10 coins. The value is doubled on Champions.
**If the is in sight of the marked enemy, he will only aim at the marked enemy but no longer on the closest.
**Retargeting an enemy while the mark is active causes the original mark to disappear.
**When an enemy is marked, solid projectiles and shockwaves that can travel will gain homing abilities, even if they are usually incapable of so. This does not apply to laser weapons that fire a beam. Bouncing attacks will still bounce even if they are affected by this skill.
**The mark is counted as a status effect, such that it lasts shorter on enraged bosses and under the condition.
*This skill has a cooldown of 4 (2) seconds.
;Skill upgrade
:Double critical hit rate to tagged enemies.
*Bullets' critical chance is double when hit tagged enemies.
**This bonus critical hit chance is not applied to melee and laser attacks (including Breath of Hades).
**The critical chance is calculated as (character crit + Book Pile crit + Weapons crit)x2.
**This only applies to the owner of the tag. Teammates in multiplayer do not get the bonus.
;Mentor Upgrade

*Improves the homing effect and increases damage dealt to the target by 25%.

**While holding the walkie-talkie, the cannot use Weapons but can still use the Bare Hands attack.
**The bomber always drops 10 bombs in a straight line, the space between 2 bombs being roughly 3.5 tiles.
**The bomb explodes upon landing, dealing 12 damage in a 4-tile radius. The explosions can cause Burn.
**The bomber's shadow has a very small collision hitbox. It can destroy crates and deal 12 damage on contact.

**Up to 3 airdrops can appear in the same floor.

==Trivia==
*This character was introduced as a playable character in Update 2.7.0, already having both Gun Spin and Bounty Tag.
*Close Air Support was added in Update 2.8.0.

*In Update 3.0.0, 's default skin, along with the default Task Board's cat received a retexture.
**Before this update, Detective Rock and Jin Yi Wei used to have the same bomb sprite for Close Air Support's attack, but then Detective Rock ended up with the same bomb sprite as the default skin.
*Starting with Update 5.4.7 and ending at Update 5.5.0, 's fire pools created by Close Air Support were bugged, incapable of dealing damage. The explosions and their Burn status effect still worked, though.
*If idle for 10-15 seconds, the will revert to his NPC animation that stands on a barrel.
*The , Airbender and the Knight are the only heroes that do not cost a specified amount of currency.
*He is the first character whose skins change the appearance of a Living Room feature, more specifically the Task Board.
*Rewards from the Task Board cannot be claimed by the himself.
*Because he is considered as a map feature when idle in the Living Room, Priest's skills do not affect him.
*When found during a run, if the gives the condition, the slowed movement speed will only take effect on the next floor, similarly to how it works in the Living Room.
**Several other challenge conditions are also "bugged" in that they do nothing for the current floor.
*The 's appearance resembles a stereotypical rural Sheriff in the 1800s, with characters in Prequel's Guildhouse calling him "Ole Sheriff".
*'s quote "Noice" could be a reference to a meme with the same punchline.
*'s Close Air Support may have been inspired by the Rogue character from Nuclear Throne, whose active skill is bombarding an area in a straight line.
