Ranger guide
Ranger, without a doubt, has the largest toolbox for any situation and can easily fit itself into almost every team composition.
Check out the Weapons page. Rangers have access to easily use weapon specials. ES weapons have no penalties for multi-hit/targets. Rangers having the highest ATA in game and combined with Needles and Shots being easy to apply Special weapons, makes Rangers powerful and less punishing for mistakes.

RAmar - Highest ATA Ranger with access to Shifta and Deband 15. (Note: Easiest class to hit weapon hit % break points)
RAmarl - Second highest ATA Ranger with Shifta, Deband, Jellen, and Zalure 20. Massive 900 EVP. (Note: Combined with Stealth Suit, Ramarl can almost dodge every enemy auto attack.
RAcast - Highest ATP Ranger, worse ATA, with traps.
RAcaseal - Her only niche situation where she shines best is solo spaceship where you hell enemies and have traps. Making Space Ship her domain in solo time attacks. (Note: She has stupid high defense which can be a hindrance from multi-hitting attacks from enemies, causing her to die instantly instead of falling down.)
Starting Weapons
Charge/Berserk/Spirit 
Gungnir (50% Hit) - Melee weapon used for clumps of enemies are higher than 5+, up to 10 targets. Really good against Chaos Sorcerer Clumps because of the orbs soaking damage. Primarily will be used to kill Yowies and Satellite Lizards.
Charge/Berserk/Spirit 
Vulcan (50% Hit) - High burst, multi-hit, single-target, medium-range with long ending animation. Not great against enemies with high defense.
Charge/Berserk/Spirit Arms (50% Hit) - Multi-target weapon with long range, decent damage and animation speed. Being able to hit 5 enemies at a safe distance, makes this weapon your early bread and butter to taking care of large waves of enemies.
Spread Needle - Fast animation speed, low damage, and small range, and a special to paralyze enemies. Its good for a tight situation but if you're positioning well Charge Arms and Baranz Launcher will always be the better option to slay enemies. Common uses against Girtablulu and Dorphons as they cannot be Frozen.
Frozen Shooter - Long range rifle with a special that uses heavy attack accuracy instead and ignores proc chance of ice specials. This will be your utility to freezing elite enemies that are giving you a hard time to kill. Common use against Garanz, Delsaber, Ill Gill, Gi-Gue, Sinows, Delbiter, Mericus, Merikle, Mericarol, Gibbon, Astark, and Goran Detonator.
Heaven Striker - Pistol with rifle range's normal and heavy attack. Special attack with berserk special that defaults back to pistol range but has auto tracking like the Rianov weapon-series. This pistol touts insanely high single-target attack damage. Destroys enemies with high defense where Vulcans cannot overcome. Has special interaction with 
Striker Unit. During even beat timer(1st number of the 3digit numbers located bottom right of menu screen), gives access to Divine Punishment. Popularly used in Ep4 to deal with Gorans and Lizards. You'll be wanting to sphere this weapon once you have one with a comfortable amount of Hit % as this will be your go-to weapon to kill elites and bosses.
Cannon Rouge - Strongest Bazooka in game and can be used to hit Gilchic switches. Commonly used against bosses such as: Dragon/
Sil Dragon, De Rol Le/ Dal Ral Lie, Barba Ray, Gol Dragon, and Gal Gryphon. (Note: Niche uses against Canabin Ring, Chaos Sorcerers, Gilchics, and Girtablulu)
Excalibur - Multi-target saber with berserk targeting up to 3 enemies and second stronger saber in game. Commonly used against Yowie, Satellite Lizard, De Rol Le, and Barba Ray. Due to this being a weapon unlocked after killing 10,000 enemies from Lame d'Argent, an attribute slot is lost. You can only have 2 Stats for this weapon and one is usually reserved for hit%. This is up there on your list of weapons to sphere.
Galatine - Strongest single target melee damage. Used to kill elite enemies with high defense.
Daylight Scar - Strongest single target with multi-hit.
Twin Blaze - Gifoie Special to stop enemies charging such as: Dorphon, Zu, and Delbiter. Other use is for instant breaking traps.
| Weapon | Target Range | ATP | ATA | Special |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Excalibur | 3 | 950 | 60 | Berserk |
| Galatine | 1 | 1260 | 77 | Spirit |
| Daylight_Scar | 1 | 550 | 48 | Berserk |
| Twin_Blaze | 1 | 520 | 40 | Gifoie(1-10) |
Endgame Weapons
ES Needle - Recommended Specials : Hell/Demon's/Arrest/Berserk Arrest Needle will replace Spread Needle to Paralyze enemies.

ES Scythe - This is a niche weapon only really for RAmar as his ATA is high enough to make use of a Hell Scythe against Lizards.

Daylight Scar with hit Percentage range.
