'''RAcast''' is an android Ranger with the highest ATP of all the ranger types, although the lowest ATA of all the rangers. With the ranger arsenal and high ATP, he is an extremely powerful damage dealer, easily able to wipe entire rooms with little effort providing that he is being provided with [[Shifta]] from another player. Due to his access to traps as well, he has almost unparalleled crowd control alongside his android boost to paralysis specials.

However, his access to traps means that even if he is a little slow in some areas, he is able to play very safely.

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

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.
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 [[Heaven Punisher]], [[Sealed J-Sword]], [[Monkey King Bar]], [[Vivienne]], [[Daylight Scar]], and [[Guren]]. On top of this, [[Lame d'Argent]] can be found from [[Dorphon]]s, which is a very useful item for all classes, but especially Rangers.

RAcast is an android Ranger with the highest ATP – but the lowest ATA – of all the Ranger types. With the Ranger arsenal and high ATP, he is an extremely powerful damage dealer, easily able to wipe entire rooms with little effort, providing that he is being provided with high-level Shifta.pngShifta. Due to his access to traps as well, he has almost unparalleled crowd control, alongside his android boost to paralysis specials.

On his own, RAcast can be a little weak, as unlike Hunters, there is no supply of Shifta other than Mylla & Youlla.pngMylla & Youlla, meaning that RAcast can struggle to kill things quickly in the initial section of quests without high-attribute gear. However, his access to traps means that even if he is a little slow in some areas, he is able to play very safely.

Pros and cons[edit | edit source]

Pros

  • Extremely powerful in multiplayer - With the Ranger arsenal, high ATP, and a source of Shifta.pngShifta, RAcast does extremely high damage over a wide area with little effort
  • Ranger arsenal - With options such as Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, Gun icon.pngES Needle, Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, and sacrificial Gun icon.pngArms, Rangers have options for every situation.
  • Access to traps - The most powerful crowd control tool in the game
  • Highest HP in the game - Able to withstand the most attacks, making fixed attack damage the most dangerous source of damage

Cons

  • Weak alone - While RAcast can be powerful in areas which primarily rely on instant death specials, RAcast's complete lack of Shifta can make him much slower than other options when playing alone
