[[File:RAmarl.png|right]]
'''RAmarl''' is a human Ranger who is considered to be a true jack-of-all-trades class, being able to deal damage, provide good crowd control, and support herself and parties effectively. She does not excel in any one category, but is able to hold her own in both One Person and multiplayer games, regardless of what is required.

RAmarl has the second highest ATA in the game, but has the lowest ATP of all the non-Force types. In comparison to [[RAmar]], this does make her weaker in every situation as a damage dealer, but her access to level 20 {{Shifta}}, {{Deband}}, {{Jellen}}, {{Zalure}}, and {{Resta}}, along with various support boosting items, makes her much more effective at supporting than he is, and can make almost every situation become very low risk while playing alone or providing support for others.

RAmarl is perfect for players who wish to play a truly versatile type, but do not expect to offer anything better than what specialized types are able to offer.

==Pros and cons==
<big>Pros</big>
* Very high ATA - Allows her to use all manners of [[File:Extra Attack.png|16px|middle|link=Attack#Special attack]][[Attack#Special attack|special attacks]] effectively, giving her good crowd control and ability to use [[Weapons#Special attacks|sacrificial specials]] very well
* Level 20 support techniques - Allows her to buff herself and other party members, as well as provide potent healing during the early game and for [[Weapons#Sacrificial_damage_increase|Berserk]] usage
* Ranger arsenal - With options such as {{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}, {{Gun|es|ES Needle}}, {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, and sacrificial {{Gun|Arms}}, Rangers have options for every situation
* Good at both single- and multiplayer - Even if not the best, all options are open to RAmarl
<big>Cons</big>
* Weaker than other classes in multiplayer - If there is another RAmarl, [[HUnewearl]], or Force present, another Hunter or Ranger would always be a stronger candidate
* Weaker than [[RAmar]] at high levels in One Person mode - RAmar works better alone due to higher ATP and ATA and the existence of [[ES weapons]] for {{Zalure}}, though it should be noted that RAmar only overtakes RAmarl in base ATP at level 80 and in base HP at level 100

==Section ID choice==
Note that the section ID choices below are merely suggestions, and are not required choices for playing RAmarl. All IDs have tangible benefits, leaving ID selection up to player preference. Below are a few recommended IDs for RAmarl depending on what type of item coverage is preferred.

===Finding items for RAmarl===
<big>{{Greenill|32}}</big>

Greenill has access to many core Ranger items – namely {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, {{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}, {{Gun|rare|Cannon Rouge}}, and {{Unit|rare|V502}}. Greenill also has access to {{Unit|rare|V101}} and {{Shield|rare|Red Ring}}, important items that are excellent hunts for any class.

<big>{{Purplenum|32}}</big>

Purplenum also receives many items that are excellent hunts for any Ranger. Like {{Greenill}}, it gets {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, {{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}, and {{Unit|rare|V502}}; Purplenum also has several good {{Gun|rare|M&A60 Vise}} drops and an increased chance of finding common [[mechguns]], giving it the best chance at acquiring sacrificial {{Gun|attributes|Vulcan|Vulcans}} with high Hit.

===Finding items that RAmarl hunts well===
<big>{{Bluefull|32}}</big>

Rangers are incredibly good everywhere, but especially in Episode 2, where Bluefull has a very powerful Seabed, which includes {{Sword|rare|Yunchang}}, {{Sword|rare|Zanba}}, {{Cane|rare|Psycho Wand}}, and {{Tool|rare|Parasitic Gene "Flow"}}. On top of this, Bluefull can hunt {{Unit|rare|Limiter}} very well from [[Astark]]s, which is an easy hunt for Rangers as well. {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}} also makes an appearance in Episode 1 from [[Del-D]]s.

<big>{{Skyly|32}}</big>

Similarly to {{Bluefull}}, Skyly has many good items and hunts in Episode 2, where Ranger shines in comparison to other classes. While Skyly is usually thought of as a Hunter ID, Rangers will have an easier time hunting many of the core Skyly items, which include {{Gun|rare|Heaven Punisher}}, {{Sword|rare|Sealed J-Sword}}, {{Sword|rare|Monkey King Bar}}, {{Sword|rare|Vivienne}}, {{Sword|rare|Daylight Scar}}, and {{Sword|rare|Guren}}. On top of this, {{Sword|rare|Lame d'Argent}} can be found from [[Dorphon]]s, which is a very useful item for all classes, but especially Rangers.

===General good ID===
<big>{{Whitill|32}}</big>

Whitill is a powerful ID that gets many coveted and valued items in almost every area in the game. Whitill is the most unrestrictive ID, giving players the freedom to play any content and still have the chance of scoring something big, in contrast to more restrictive IDs such as {{Bluefull}}, which focus players into certain areas. Whitill finds many good items such as {{Unit|rare|V502}}, {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, {{Sword|rare|Diska of Braveman}}, {{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}, {{Sword|rare|Slicer of Fanatic}}, and more!

=Equipment progression=
==Early-game (Normal to Very Hard)==
Play the game as you wish and use what you find, but you will want to focus on finding the following as soon as possible:
* {{Disk|Shifta|Shifta LV3 disk}} or above
* {{Disk|Deband|Deband LV3 disk}} or above
* {{Disk|Resta|Resta LV3 disk}} or above

You may find these from the player shop as you progress, the later areas in Normal difficulty ([[Ruins]], [[Seabed]], [[Subterranean Desert]]), or all areas in Hard/Very Hard. These will give you the starting foundation on RAmarl, as Shifta and Deband will increase your attack and defense, while Resta will allow you to make more mistakes as you learn to tackle enemies, as well as providing support for any other players you play with.

After progressing through the starting difficulties and finding some {{Tool|rare|Photon Drop|Photon Drops}}, you will want to focus on procuring the following equipment through trade:

* {{Gun|attributes|Vulcan|Charge Vulcan}} with 50 Hit
* {{Gun|attributes|Arms|Charge Arms}} with 50 Hit
* {{Gun|attributes|Raygun|Charge Raygun}} with 50 Hit
* {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Battle}}
* Level 200 [[Mags|Mag]] with focus on POW/DEX if not feeding your own

These upgrades will help you make the jump into Very Hard, and also eventually into Ultimate once you reach there.

Once you reach level 41, you will want to obtain {{Shield|rare|Ranger Wall}} from {{Quest link|Gallon's Shop}}, which is the best barrier for RAmarl until level 180.
==Mid-game (early Ultimate)==
Once you enter Ultimate, you will want to focus on acquiring the following items, either by hunting or through trade:

<big>'''{{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}}'''</big>

Frozen Shooter is a Ranger staple, as its special attack will [[Freeze (status)|freeze]] an enemy with 100% success rate, providing the accuracy check is passed and the enemy is not immune to freeze. This makes a lot of content easier, especially where larger enemies are involved.

<big>'''{{Gun|rare|Spread Needle}}'''</big>

Spread Needle is a classic weapon that makes it very easy to clear content as a low-level Ranger. With normal-heavy-heavy combos, any enemy which is susceptible to knockback can be permanently stunlocked. The [[Weapons#Special attacks|special]] on RAmarl, however, is mostly useless, as [[Weapons#Paralysis|Seize]] is not very effective on her. Spread Needle should only be used when enemies have approached you, as your Hit {{Gun|attributes|Arms|Charge Arms}} will always do more damage otherwise, and the [[damage cancel]] mechanic means you may hinder your party by using this weapon on enemies your party members are fighting, as it is not very strong.

Eventually, you will replace Spread Needle with various {{Gun|es|ES Needle|ES Needles}}, which are stronger and have more potent special attacks.

<big>'''{{Gun|rare|Cannon Rouge}}'''</big>

Cannon Rouge is a [[Launchers|launcher]] that fires a shot that explodes on detonation. This weapon cannot combo, but the explosion is very potent on enemies with multiple hitboxes, such as idle Lilies, [[Dragon]], and [[Gal Gryphon]]. The shot has infinite height, so it will connect with flying enemies by just firing a shot in their general direction.

<big>'''{{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}'''</big>

Heaven Striker is a [[Handguns|handgun]] with unrivaled ATP, [[Rifles|rifle]] range, and a unique [[Weapons#Sacrificial damage increase|Berserk]] attack. The special attack has a radius and range similar to a [[Shots|shot]], allowing you to attack enemies directly above you, or to your side. Heaven Striker is a fantastic weapon for picking off lone enemies, as the "auto-aim" mechanic of the special attack can save a lot of time.

You will need 200 ATA to equip this weapon, so it is recommended that you try to procure as many {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Arms}} as possible.
