Most useful RA/BR PAs?

[Kole]

Can someone tell me which PAs are good to use for a RA/BR?

So far for assault rifle I'm using End Attraction for mobs (fast, pierce, larger bullet) and Sneak Shooter or One Point for weakpoint/bosses (very high dps or accuracy on those moving bosses)

for launchers I'm just using Zero Distance cause I find the other PAs too slow or weak, and for bullet bow just Million Storm

(obviously I have a rifle bias)

[Tunga]

Million storm is a terrible PA. Use Final nemesis, Pen arrow or master shot in combo with chase arrow and banish arrow for bosses.(bow for mobs is terrible)

Try cluster bullet or divine shot for launcher mobbing.

Rifle you should also try Satellite cannon too.

never mob with bow, ever

I'm assuming you went RaBr for bows o-o

Aside from the usual ChaseArrow / Banish / MasterShoot / Penetrating / LastNemesis ..... which commonly used for bossing ......

Try TorrentialArrow, GravityPoint and PenetratingArrow for mobbing o-o Though maybe it's not so accurate for PenetratingArrow to hit weak point. MasterShoot can be used on 1 tougher mobs to pin-point weak spot (head, for things like Fordoransa (2 tusk one) grade). The combo I usually use is GravityPoint / GravityBomb - Torrential / Penetrate.

For MillionStorm, it's a bit limited to PSEBurst only, imo.

Actually just for Weak Stance, and thanks for the BB info.

Slightly related to this, but apparently 1 stage charge of End Attraction lets it use 90% of it's full power (and probably would activate WS Charge). Think this might have some more dps potential?

[Rakurai]

Partially charged End Attract can only hit twice, as far as I've noticed.

[Kole]

Honestly I've had even uncharged hit multiple times on certain large bosses - a full charge gives the bullet it's maximum size and the full 100% damage

Why would you want Weak Stance while Fury Stance + JA bonus does just as good if not better?
Not to mention Massive Hunter + Automate.

Wait, is there a discussion about this (RA/Br vs RA/Hu) somewhere on here?


Also, back on PAs, I've heard that Homing Emission is strong but when I've tried it out, it seemed both slower and weaker than sneak shooter.

There's really nothing to discuss. If you aren't using bows, there's no point in subbing braver over hunter.

Well, having that much bonus weakpoint damage is a stylistic challenge, as well as Attack Advance with launcher

Uncrafted Homing Emmision is mainly used at melee range to land all its 6 hits on a single weakspot, dealing damage similar to Impact Slider, while keeping Standing Snipe unlike IS. Satellite Cannon and Ends Attract basically overtook HE as the king of rifle bossing PA, but even then HE still had uses on mobile targets like Banthers. Buff to One Point is really what killed HE, dealing similar damage, while being able to keep Sharpshooter.

Nowadays as Ra/Hu, I mostly use 2 palettes for Rifle, 1 for Launcher, and 3 for misc utility.
Rifle 1: EA/Piercing/SC
Rifle 2: One Point/IS/Diffuse
Launcher: Cluster/Divine/Cosmo

Partisan: Assault Buster x 3
Gunslash: Strezwei - Kreisenschlag - Trillsplode
Gunslash: Additional Bullet x 3 for weak trash
Jet boots for Strike Gust Shifta and Double Jump

As Br sub, you will also have access to Katana and Bow for utility
Katana: Guren - Kanran - Kanran (Mostly a TACO thing for Katana dashing and KCF
Bow: Banish - Master Shoot - Nemesis
Bow: Penetrate - Chase - Banish

Wait, how do you use JB PAs as Ra/Hu? Is there some JB that have built-in Strike Gust and multiclass?

[BlueCast Boy]

For Bow's, Banish Arrow is not only meant for bossing but also for taking out group because off its charge version. You can also try to using Banish Arrow on mobbing and some AoE PA like Million Storm, Torrential Arrow or Gravity Arrow.

Cool, thanks. Gotta buy myself a pair.

So to get this straight, the buffs from JA and Fury mostly match Weak Stance?

They beat it completely (1.61x vs 1.485x) when you are not using charged PAs (e.g. SC, EA), and are slightly behind when you are (1.61x vs 1.63x). Technically Ra/Br outdamages Ra/Hu when using those particular PAs, but Ra/Hu is way tankier, has Massive Hunter to charge freely against bosses and does not necessarily require weak points to be effective so people prefer it for rifle use.

Alright thanks guys, now I just gotta grind Hu to hell. See ya on ship2!
