The Badass Gunner is a figure of sheer audacity and unmatched marksmanship. Representing the fearless sharpshooters of lore, this piece stands for courage under fire and unerring precision. On the chessboard, the Gunner brings a combination of tactical prowess and bold aggression, ready to engage at a moment's notice.
The Gunner moves with the straightforwardness of a rook, but only up to three squares in any horizontal or vertical direction, symbolizing a balanced approach between aggressive positioning and strategic restraint.
The 'Sniper Shot' is the Gunner’s unique ability. Once per game, the Gunner can target any enemy piece in its line of sight (straight line horizontally or vertically), capturing it regardless of distance. This ability mirrors the long-range accuracy of a skilled sniper and can turn the tide by taking out a key piece from afar. However, it cannot be used to deliver checkmate directly.
