Where to Find Tanzee Ignis's Assault Rifle
Tanzee Ignis's Assault Rifle is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Using Tanzee Ignis's Assault Rifle Well
Chipper Chimp Gunfire is a burst on a long leash, and the two numbers that decide how you play it are not on the item screen: gunner mode runs for ten seconds, and the skill is then locked out for 120. That is one Fire magazine every two minutes, so treat the rifle as something you spend on a boss's stagger or on the moment a base raid wave lands, not as a damage source you can lean on through a fight. It is a toggle you fire yourself rather than anything that ticks away in the background, and Tanzee Ignis has to be the Pal you have out — a Pal sitting in the party does nothing with it.
How hard the rifle hits is set by Tanzee Ignis's partner skill rank, which condensing raises. The power figure in the game files runs 30 at rank 1, then 32, 36, 42, and 50 at rank 5 — that ladder is what the game is labelling when it shows Damage Up S, M, L and XL on the skill from rank 2 upward. Going from rank 1 to rank 5 is two thirds more damage per burst, and nothing about the gear itself changes on the way: one copy of the rifle is all you will ever need to build, however far you condense the Pal.
Against the plain Tanzee's rifle this is the better gun at every rung, and by enough that the Grass version is rarely worth condensing for. Tanzee's ladder is 20 / 22 / 26 / 32 / 40 against the Ignis 30 / 32 / 36 / 42 / 50, and both share the same ten-second window and 120-second lockout — so a Tanzee Ignis straight out of the sphere very nearly matches a Tanzee you have already condensed three ranks, and it fires Fire instead of Grass, which is the far more useful element to be carrying at this point in the game. The Ignis rifle costs one more Technology level, one more point, and 10 Flame Organ on top of a slightly heavier pile of Copper Ingot, Stone, and Wood; the Flame Organ is the only part that takes a detour, and everything else you will have on hand by level 13.
Tanzee Ignis's Assault Rifle — Tanzee Ignis's Gear
Tanzee Ignis's Assault Rifle is Tanzee Ignis's own gear — no other Pal can equip it, and Tanzee Ignis cannot be ridden or put to work in its geared role until you have this in your inventory.
Equipping it turns on Tanzee Ignis's partner skill, Chipper Chimp Gunfire.
Tanzee Ignis is Fire, which is what decides where it is worth taking — the gear does not change its typing, only what you can do with it.
