Navigator Eddie (Gunner Type)

[Tritium]

I just had my first run in with this guy in the arena… To say that he liquefied my team would be A gross understatement. Screw the prisoner, this guy looks to be one to own.

I'm curious, what made him a foe to be reckoned with? I want to nab one of these guys and am wondering (if I do end up getting him) whether he'd be worth skill sharding.

Noticed something that might need tweaking with this guy's AI on autoplay: constantly uses charted course until he gets taunted for whatever reason, at which point he sporadically switches to using nothing but Landfall for the rest of the battle. Just something that's slightly confusing.

After 20 Nautical Souls...

1st Soul of the PVP rewards I put into the Book of Souls was a Gun/Assassin Soul and...tadaa.. NAVIGATOR EDDIE


So what are the best Talismans for him? 3 yellow and 3 purple?

If you got Warrior Troll in your Team you don't need "Invisibility". Maybe 3x Thief Talisman and 3x Void Talisman is more efficient, because of earlier fury attack?

Fix the AI on this guy. All he ever does is charted course, unless fury is full.

Is this Eddie even still possible to pull or was he only possible to pull during the Nautical Souls event?

You can still get him via rare G/A souls, legendary souls, and the new sacrificial souls.

So the Immortal Souls event gave me plenty of time to get acquainted with my recently fully Sharded Navigator. I love him, he's a beast. Him and Tailgunner (possibly also Cyborg) are IMO the best farmers in the game currently.

These are, according to me, the pros and cons of Navigator and Tailgunner when it comes to farming:
Tailgunner's pros:
- Better Fury. Raining Death recharges faster, does more damage, and the Extra Turn is flat-out deadly with an Angel of Fear in the party. Bosses are also immune to Final Journey's Blindness, which is annoying.
- Faster. If both characters operate at maximum efficiency, Tailgunner will be faster because his Fury and basic attack is shorter. This is especially pronounced when fighting Magus or Gunner Golden Sons, as the Golden Sons only revive after Navigator has finished with his multiple-hit shooting.
Navigator's pros:
- Better basic attack. Landfall may take longer than Barrage but IMO it does more damage, both in general and because you have the chance to do true damage.
- Better AI. Tailgunner sometimes likes to use Second Chance (past Power move) which is inefficient when farming. Navigator's Charted Course problems are behind him.

Note that Navigator has very low SPECIAL as a Gunner, and as such I highly recommend a Thief set on him. As for the other 3 Talismans, I use Voids but Assassins are also a fine choice.

BTW, Dead Reckoning is great in the Assassin dungeon. Fully sharded (and with Assassin Talismans) it instakills everything save for the boss (Voids will sometimes leave one alive in red health). Also those Newborns can't take away your buffs if they can't hit you
Speaking of said boss, Crashing Rocks is a great anti-Boss move. Which you can then follow up with Roaring Wave for great results

Gotta say! Your nav sure does kickass! I only use him on the hardest lvls though, like NoTB, Xs of LoL, or lightbringer (underworld skull quest).
