The Gunslinger is a member of the Slinger family of enemies in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. They roam in ancient areas like Kitten Kingdom Ruins or near mechanical factories like the Waste Disposal Plant. It can often be seen together with its stabby counterpart, the Swordslinger.
Appearance
The Gunslinger has a very similar appearance compared to its Swordslinger brethren: A floating robot wearing a long, old, tattered brown coat, with its metallic face partially covered by a wide brimmed cowboy hat. The only difference between the two is the decoration on their hat: While the Swordslinger appears to have part of a sabre attached to the front of its hat, the Gunslinger has a magazine clipped to the back instead.
Overview
The Gunslinger primarily attacks with bomb and thunder elemental attacks that hits random party members multiple times. Its attacks are overall low powered and not very threatening, save for Headshot, an (ironically) inaccurate attack with a very high chance to instantly down its target.

Adventure Story
In this spinoff game, Gunslingers appear as enemies in the second area of the game (the Desert). They move back and forth on their platforms, but attempt to chase Matt if they spot him. Periodically, they will raise their cannons and fire a large bullet at Matt, which must be dodged. As usual, Matt can also take damage if he touches the Gunslinger itself.
Unlike the main EBF games, the Gunslinger does not have a melee-focused counterpart. However, it does have an upgraded version/alternate species that appears in later levels: the Black Gunslinger. This version of the Gunslinger is identifiable by its black clothing and new hat design. It moves faster, does more damage, and fires three bullets at a time.
- This section is incomplete. You can help Epic Battle Fantasy Wiki by adding required information to it.
To do: Exact stats. "moves faster" and "does more damage" is not enough.
Trivia
- As mentioned in concept art galleries of Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4, the design for the Gunslinger enemy came from a DeviantArt member named kmau.
