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. 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, 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

Pros

• Extremely powerful in multiplayer - With the Ranger arsenal, high ATP, and a source of Shifta, RAcast does extremely high damage over a wide area with little effort
• Ranger arsenal - With options such as Frozen Shooter, ES Needle, Heaven Striker, and sacrificial Arms, 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

Section ID choice

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

Finding items for RAcast

Purplenum

Purplenum receives many items that are excellent hunts for any Ranger. Like Redria, it gets Heaven Striker (rare boss), Frozen Shooter, and V502. Mericarols can be hunted for Heaven Punisher, a late-game RAcast item that allows her to excel in Episode 4 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 also hunt Frozen Shooter and Spread Needle, Cannon Rouge (rare enemy), 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 (rare boss), 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 RAcast 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". On top of this, Bluefull can hunt Limiter very well from Astarks, 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. On top of this, Lame d'Argent can be found from Goran Detonators, which is a very useful item for all classes, but especially Rangers.

Greenill

Greenill has access to many core Ranger items: Heaven Striker, Frozen Shooter, Cannon Rouge, and V502. Greenill also has access to V101 and Red Ring, important items that are excellent hunts for any class. The downside of this section id is that often times, there's a better id that aligns with denser quests for specific items it can hunt, making it a little weaker in comparison to ids that synergize well with Ragol Boost Road (it lives in a big shadow cast by Redria in many areas of the game). However, it still has its strengths, and can notably hunt for several items in the quest: Maximum Attack E: Episode 4

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 RAcast staple items, Slicer of Fanatic, Ophelie Seize, and Limiter (rare boss) can also be hunted on Whitill.
