Duel Arts

Along the few Legendary Arms that survived, a fighting system for efficient use of firearms also survived the demise of Eincrad and was passed down from generation to generation among the survivors and was then passed on to the founding members of the Order. Duel Arts is taught as mandatory course for any Dispatch.

The name came from the practice of the gunslingers of Eincrad to engage in duels against each other to hone their skills and ultimately, to decide the strongest. Eincradian gunslingers usually dueled to the death to determine their rank in the military. The Order also uses this tradition to determine their current Dispatch members, though killing is not allowed. A trainee can simply challenge any Dispatch member to a duel, witnessed by another Dispatch member, and should he or she win, the spot of the losing Dispatch is awarded to him or her.

Since Duel Arts was developed by Eincradians, they took into account the performance level of the firearms technology and as such, it could only be used optimally when using Legendary Arms, and to some extent, with Forbidden Arms. Using the current level firearms places enough performance issues with the techniques, making it more of a liability than an advantage.
