Editing RAmarl/Guide (section)

=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.

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.
