RAmar is a human Ranger who has the highest ATA in the game, along with the second highest ATP of the Rangers. Paired with access to basic support techniques, including level 15 Shifta and Deband, this makes him a very powerful option in every situation. The versatility of the Ranger arsenal allows him to provide wide-range area-of-effect with good damage and some of the best crowd control outside of android-exclusive traps. He is largely considered to be the best solo class, even better than HUcast in most situations, while still able to hold his own in multiplayer parties regardless of scenario.

In comparison to RAmarl, he is stronger in all situations, but the lack of Jellen and extremely weak, slow Resta means that mistakes and dangerous situations are more punishing if the player is unable to control the enemies properly. While he can support the party with Shifta and Deband, those are the extent of his supporting abilities, making RAmarl much more useful in a party which would benefit from a supporting role.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Highest ATA in the game - RAmar's high ATA allows him to hit special attacks more often than any other class, giving him extremely good crowd control and ability to use sacrificial specials very well
• Extremely powerful solo - With the Ranger arsenal, RAmar's ATP, and access to Shifta, RAmar is a top-tier solo class
• Very powerful in multiplayer - Regardless of if there is a supporting class or not, RAmar can fit into any party as a top damage dealer
• Ranger arsenal - With options such as Frozen Shooter, ES Needle, Heaven Striker, and sacrificial Arms, Rangers have options for every situation

Cons

• Weak early game - RAmar has less HP and ATP than all the other Rangers early on, and takes some time to grow into his strengths

Section ID choice

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

Finding items for RAmar

Purplenum

Purplenum receives many items that are excellent hunts for any Ranger. It has access to core Ranger items like Heaven Striker, Frozen Shooter, and V502. Mericarols can be hunted for Heaven Punisher, a late-game handgun that allows RAmar to excel in Episode 4 Subterranean Desert quests. Purplenum also has several good sources for M&A60 Vise and an increased chance of finding common mechguns, giving it the best chance at acquiring sacrificial Vulcans with high Hit.

Yellowboze

Yellowboze can hunt Frozen Shooter and Spread Needle, Cannon Rouge, as well as both Lame d'Argent and Galatine - two of the best sabers for any class that can wield them. Other strong items to hunt on Yellowboze include: V101, Daylight Scar, Photon Filter, and Select Cloak. The last two being components for Divine Filter.

Redria

Redria has access to many core Ranger items – namely Heaven Striker, Spread Needle, and Cannon Rouge. Redria also has access to Red Ring, V502, Heavenly/Battle and Diska of Braveman - important items that are excellent hunts for any class.

Finding items that RAmar hunts well

Bluefull

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". Additionally, Bluefull can hunt Limiter from Astark, which is an easy hunt for Rangers as well. Heaven Striker also makes an appearance in Episode 1 from Del-D.

Skyly

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. Additionally, Lame d'Argent can be found from Goran Detonators, which is a very useful item for all classes.

General good ID

Whitill

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. Both Handgun: Milla and Handgun: Guld can be hunted on this section id, which combine to make the iconic Guld Milla. Whitill, like other ids on this guide, can also hunt Frozen Shooter, Red Ring, V502, and Heaven Striker. Though not considered RAmar staple items, Slicer of Fanatic, Ophelie Seize, and Limiter (rare boss) can also be hunted on Whitill.

Equipment progression

Normal to Very Hard Progression

Item	Use
Weapons	Weapons with Hit attribute provide a direct boost to ATA. Handguns, Lasers, and Shots are powerful but don't be afraid to use melee weapons, as they often have better stats than their ranged counterparts.
Frame	Look for frames with slots (4 is max)
Units	Prioritize Arm, Power, and HP units (boosting ATA, ATP, and HP respectively). Use a battle unit if obtained
Ranger Wall	Obtained from Gallon's Shop without any combat, best-in-slot level 41-180
Mag levels	Focus on POW and DEX. Feeding plans at Mags/Guide
Materials	Work toward a plan (above), Important Stats Only recommended. HP materials have their own cap and can consumed ASAP
Shifta and Deband	Offensive and defensive buffs
Resta	Health restoration

Early Ultimate Priorities

Item	Use
Charge Vulcan with 50 Hit	Great single target damage
Charge Arms with 50 Hit	Powerful option for clearing groups
Heaven Striker	Excellent option even with 0 Hit
Frozen Shooter	One of your best early crowd control options
Heavenly/Battle	Significant speed increase to all attack animations
Level 200 Mag	Mostly just provides stats. Particular mag doesn't matter, Nidra recommended due to ease of feeding and good triggers
Completed material plan	Large amount of stats for RAmar

Handling More Situations

Item	Use
Hell Laser or Hell Raygun	Makes many Episode 2 areas much faster
Arrest Laser or Arrest Raygun	Crowd control options for enemies that can't be frozen
Spread Needle	Can provide easy kills by pushing enemies back, and can arrest groups of enemies, though much less effective than Arrest Needle on RAmar
Cannon Rouge	Great for bosses, breaks Dubwitch, can be effective for huge groups
V501	Boosts Hell and Arrest

Recommended endgame equipment

Category		Item	Notes	Alternatives
Melee	Single-Target	Galatine	Fast combo-kills on most enemies
		Daylight Scar	For especially tanky enemies
	Multi-Target	Excalibur	Fast kills on up to three melee-range targets	Gungnir (Charge, Berserk, Spirit)
Ranged	Single-Target	Heaven Striker	Fast kills on low health targets	Laser, Raygun (Charge, Berserk, Spirit)

		Demon's Mechgun	Multi-hit Demon for tanky enemies
	Multi-Target	Arms (Charge, Berserk, Spirit)	Go-to option for spread out enemies

		ES Needle (Berserk, Spirit)	Fast kills on groups of less evasive enemies
		Diska of Braveman	Almost as much ATP as Baranz when paired with Thirteen. DoB has a faster animation and cannot be manually evaded.
		Cannon Rouge	Good damage on multi-target enemies (Lilies, Bosses) and groups much larger than five
Frames		Thirteen	Makes Diska of Braveman viable
		Stealth Suit	Good EVP, makes teleporting effects slightly faster, removes weapon "slingshot" effect
		Dress Plate	Provides 70 EDK for ignoring Megid - generally more useful than DFP and EVP when lilies will be encountered
Barriers		Red Ring	Provides 20 ATP and ATA in addition to excellent defensive stats	Ranger Wall
Units		V101	Provides +40% battle speed in addition to 15 to most stats	Heavenly/Battle
		V502	Increases effectiveness of some specials (including Hell and Arrest)	V501

	Arrest Needle	Group crowd control. Especially necessary for Dorphons	Spread Needle

Increased Damage	Yata Mirror	While usually not worth losing the accuracy from Red Ring or Ranger Wall, the 35 ATP Yata Mirror provides can make the difference between some enemies living and dying	Combat Gear
