One Shot, One Kill (A Comprehensive Ranger Guide/Discussion)

[Charmeleon]

That bow has Kamikaze Arrow built in. Although without Banishing Arrow, its use would probably be quite limited.

it does have k.arrow built in, my bad.. just when i thought i could trust cirno again...

I'm new with the whole RA/BR and bow thing so can someone explain which bow PA's to use and how they work? Thanks~

[Dephinix]

My set-ups are:
Bow 1: Last Nem> Master Shoot> Banish Arrow
Bow 2: Chase Arrow> Penetrating Arrow> Gravity Point

Last Nem is a long charge single shot burst damage PA, your boss killer. Master Shoot will fire 3 arrows uncharged, 5 if charged, and does nice
single point damage as well as hitting switches. Banish Arrow you throw on a target to have it record all the damage you do to it in the next
3 seconds, and it reapplies it(with extra bonuses).

Chase Arrow stores 1-3 arrows to strike your target the next time you use a damaging PA on it. Could for boss kill set-ups. Penetrating Arrow
is a great mobbing PA once you get uses to it. It can hit twice(maybe three, haven't bothered with it), and will sometimes be better than Master
Shoot for Banish Combos. Gravity Point is a
suction PA, it's range isn't a zondeel, but it's good to have in Base Defense when Gravity Grenade is on cooldown. Some may say to use Torrential
Arrow instead, but, a well placed Gravity Point into a Penetrating Arrow seems better imo.

As a Ra/Br though, you should be able to mob better with Rifles and Launchers. Rifles Piercing Shell is about half as strong as Penetrating Arrow,
costs less, and doesn't require a charge up. For bosses, the usual quick combo is just a JA Banish Arrow, normal shot, Last Nemesis.
Whether you use WB for it, or whatever other change ups, is up to you.

Not advised for beginners or veteran only expert players benefit from it.

Oh I seek recommend 120 r-atk per unit if you want one shot SH Ragne from his back location. With the Sfera Rain +40 ofcourse.

Dreadful trees.

HU tree:

Max S-Atk tree is utterly pointless unless you're doing TA as Ranger (and RaHu isn't even used anymore lol). For a Ranger sub, it is best to take Automate Halfline, Massive Hunter and either Flash Guard or Iron Will, for more DPS as it allows you to attack through attacks. This isn't about "gitgud" or "stun the boss before it can hit you", it's about being able to not have to dodge and just do damage instead, which no matter how you look at it, is more damage.

RA tree:

1. You should always have 4 Weak Bullets. Sure, it's not always necessary in an organised MPA for something like Elder, Luther, Magatsu, but the extra weak bullets go a long way when doing things like VHAQ, XH TD (make sure you stack up to 8 for Bibras), and other general things.
2. No Moving Snipe? I know it's not really popular, but it's 100% recommended. It lets you do more damage when you don't have time to proc standing snipe. Seems pretty good to me.

BR tree:

Remove: J. Reversal Cover, Charge Shoot, Rapid Shoot Advance, 7 points from Rapid Shoot, get max R-Atk Up 1, then do whatever with the points. Rapid Shoot should be maximum if you plan to play GuBr, as it allows you to build chain a little faster.

For an "expert player", you sure aren't showing it. . w.
