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

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

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

Greenill icon.pngGreenill

Greenill has access to many core Ranger items – namely Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, Gun icon.pngCannon Rouge, and Unit icon.pngV502. Greenill also has access to Unit icon.pngV101 and Shield icon.pngRed Ring, important items that are excellent hunts for any class.

Purplenum icon.pngPurplenum

Purplenum also receives many items that are excellent hunts for any Ranger. Like Greenill icon.pngGreenill, it gets Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, and Unit icon.pngV502; Purplenum also has several good Gun icon.pngM&A60 Vise drops and an increased chance of finding common mechguns, giving it the best chance at acquiring sacrificial Gun icon.pngVulcans with high Hit.

Finding items that RAcast hunts well

Bluefull icon.pngBluefull

Rangers are incredibly good everywhere, but especially in Episode 2, where Bluefull has a very powerful Seabed, which includes Sword icon.pngYunchang, Sword icon.pngZanba, Cane icon.pngPsycho Wand, and Tool icon.pngParasitic Gene "Flow". On top of this, Bluefull can hunt Unit icon.pngLimiter very well from Astarks, which is an easy hunt for Rangers as well. Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker also makes an appearance in Episode 1 from Del-Ds.

Skyly icon.pngSkyly

Similarly to Bluefull icon.pngBluefull, 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 Gun icon.pngHeaven Punisher, Sword icon.pngSealed J-Sword, Sword icon.pngMonkey King Bar, Sword icon.pngVivienne, Sword icon.pngDaylight Scar, and Sword icon.pngGuren. On top of this, Sword icon.pngLame d'Argent can be found from Goran Detonators, which is a very useful item for all classes, but especially Rangers.

General good ID

Whitill icon.pngWhitill

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 icon.pngBluefull, which focus players into certain areas. Whitill finds many good items such as Unit icon.pngV502, Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, Sword icon.pngDiska of Braveman, Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, Sword icon.pngSlicer of Fanatic, and more!
