Giselle is noticeably an expert Hunter as she won the Hunting competition for three years in a row. She also has a permit to raise beasts within the city. Her Sniper Rifle is inherited from her Grandfather.

## Combat

Giselle uses a Sniper Rifle which is a weapon with high base attack but reduced speed. However, this can be augmented by masteries that both reduce Action Time and restore Action Points.

Giselle will do extra damage when her AP is full (Blue) so its favorable for her to standby then attack rather than moving then attack.

Pros

* High ranged damage
* Can use Precision Sniping to augment her attacks further and giving different debuffs to enemies
* Longest attack and vision range with a base of 14 range and can be improved to 15 range
* Can use Base Defend to allow her immediately Conceal herself after attacking which giving her a very strong boost versus ranged attack as long she's not exposed

Cons

* Because Giselle cannot use Armguard, she will be very fragile if exposed
* Giselle has very low dodge rate which means she will take many of hits if not in cover. Combined with a low HP stat, this makes Giselle one of the more fragile characters
* Low speed
* Her base attack costs a high 20 Vigor, so she will need Vigor restores or Overcharge buffing for better Vigor management
* Not very good against Bicrons and enemies with Impulse Field or Damage Absorbing
