Combat

Basic Attack

A 2-shot handgun that lunges forward and releases a bullet with each lunge. The first bullet causes slight knock-back while the second bullet causes moderate knock-back.

Charge Attack

Launches a barrage of six crystals into the sky, landing in a vicinity around three to four tiles ahead of the original charge location or if a monster is in front of your charge location. Once the crystals are lodged into the ground, they will continually damage any monsters coming in contact with them until the crystals decay.

Note: While the crystals are lodged into the ground, they act as a nearly impassable wall for monsters.

Damage

The following damage values represent the weapon at its completed level, without any UV or bonus from other equipment, and are listed as a range found from the first to last floor of each stratum.

Notes

This item was introduced during the second March of the Tortodrones event the
2014.190
16 July 2014
.

The charge attack (depending on the gun's damage type of course) is effective against Mecha Knight and Almirian Crusader monsters. These enemies are highly likely to be struck by the barrage when it actually hits because their shields decay by the time the crystals land.

The Grim Buster is part of the March of the Tortodrones gear. The items in this set include:
