Tactics

• The Level 5 and 6 Gunner Deals splash damage and is required to go far in Endless.
• Many players use low level Gunners to deal with early Hidden Voids.
• However, he doesn't get lead penetration until level 5.
• This is mainly to conserve cash for later on in the game as Gunners are still one of the most viable choices for going late game and beyond.
• From Wave 61 onwards, it is required to upgrade Gunners to Level 5 as the rushes of high health Voids can overwhelm single targeting towers, including Level 4 Gunners and below.

Trivia

• A Level 6 Gunner can deal up to 1,520 damage from 142 KFP90's on the whole board.
  • The Kitsutori version requires 119 KFP90's to max out at 2,500 damage.
• There is also the 'Kitsutori' and 'Kisutori II' badges that are linked to getting a Level 6 Gunner.
• This is widely considered to be one of the best towers in game.
• Getting a Level 6 Gunner in Ancient Dunes will cause the map's skybox to turn into a void-like space, and you will get a badge for doing so.
• The best Guardians to bring when using the Gunner are Cassy and Ruby Queen due to their buffs favoring Ruby towers.
• Dawn is the brother of Fade, Fei, and Yami.
• Dawn's full name is Dawn Usagikami.
• Dawn lives in the Usagikami Residence.
• Before towers had their image shown in shop and in your loadout, Dawn had a more feminine look, with long hair, a traditional Japanese outfit, and had the word 'Male' next to him.
• Dawn originates from ArenaDev's other Arena: game, Arena: Ballistic! He is an Uncommon Character alongside his elder sister Fade.
