Maximizing hit chance

The following tables assumes usage by a Ranger with maxed ATA and either Red Ring or Ranger Wall equipped. The Hit shown in the table is the value required to hit the given enemy on Ultimate difficulty with S3; Paralysis is never guaranteed, as neither of these enemies have low enough ESP to give even an android with V502 a 100% chance to paralyze.

Enemy Hit Dorphon 5 Dorphon Eclair 25 Enemy Hit Dorphon 0 Dorphon Eclair 20

Girtablulu can always be hit by S3 from either class with a 0 Hit Spread Needle. RAmar makes better use of ES Needle, guaranteeing an S3 on any of these enemies, and RAmarl has a similarly guaranteed S3 with ES Needle on Dorphon and Girtablulu, but not on Dorphon Eclair.

Detonating traps

If timed properly, Android Rangers can self-detonate their Traps using Spread Needle, which cannot be done with ES Needle.
