Gun Kata

 is a Tier 1 skill in Athena's Xiphos skill tree. increases gun damage, and encourages interspersing gun-play with melee attacks.

Effects
Gun Kata gives a small boost to damage with all guns, and a significant boost to melee damage for several seconds after shooting an enemy.

Strategy

 * Gun Kata works best in close quarters, where the player can alternate quickly and easily between gunplay and melee attacks.
 * Any and all melee damage boosts increase Rend's bleed damage -- shooting any enemy at all will apply Gun Kata to bleeding enemies.
