2. GUNS: HAND GUNS AND MACHINEGUNS

Learn about Handguns and Machineguns in Resonance of Fate. Handguns stun and break enemy gauges, while Machineguns deal temporary damage.

At the start of Resonance of Fate, you will have two Handguns and one Machinegun. Handguns serve multiple purposes: they can stun enemies, break their gauges (which act as a defensive shield), and ultimately kill them. However, a Handgun cannot deliver a killing blow until an enemy has been weakened by the Machinegun. The damage inflicted by the Machinegun is temporary, and it is the Handgun attack that transforms this temporary damage into a permanent kill.
