“The Hell Where Ideals Burn” – The Hell of Burning Ideals
This exclusive railgun carries Archer’s ideals and beliefs. Its data is like a burning poem:
HP: 952.6 | ATK: 582.12 | DEF: 529.20
Red Origin Hunter
This railgun, like a hunter’s spear, grants Archer the following powers:

Increases the equpper’s critical rate by 16%, like a hunter’s gaze locking onto the target.
Upon entering battle, like a hunter beginning the hunt, increases the equpper’s ATK by 40%.
After each Battle Skill cast, increases the equpper’s ATK by 10%, up to 4 stacks, like the flames of ideals continuously rising.

Normal Attack
“Kanjiang•Moxie”
Archer’s normal attack is like the blades of Kanjiang and Moxie, cutting through the enemy’s soul:
Deals damage equal to 100% of Archer’s ATK to a single enemy target, with quantum attributes.
Battle Skill
“Pseudo-Spiral Sword”
Archer enters the 【Circuit Connection】state, as if entering a vortex in the quantum domain:
Deals damage equal to 400% of Archer’s ATK to a single enemy target, with quantum attributes.
While in 【Circuit Connection】state, each Battle Skill cast during this state will not end the turn, and the damage dealt by Archer’s Battle Skill increases by 100%. This effect can stack up to 2 layers and lasts until exiting the 【Circuit Connection】state.
Archer will exit the 【Circuit Connection】state after casting the Battle Skill 5 times or when there are not enough SP to cast the skill again, and the turn will end.
If all enemies in the wave are defeated, Archer will exit the 【Circuit Connection】state.
