if you dont have one yet you might as well just wait for necky to make a return and just grab orbit rifle instead.

Probably doesn't. Not like you would want to use normals when you are holding WB anw.
PP-wise, between orbit launcher, upper trap, stun/grav grenades, you probably can sustain just fine.

Pretty sure it does. I rmbr seeing this vid when Para-0 was first released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQVUIVyR7Xs
Also, just tested pierce in midair, it drops you even if you skip JA

I think it drops you a bit before the JA circle comes out. If my memory serves, Para0 is the only PA that gives you mid-air SS

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but I’m under the impression that midair pierce does not keep standing snipe for the next attack

In place where you cant get multi-hit EA, you wont get multi-hit pierce either. According to swiki, pierce does 825 dps, sneak 1247, diffu 1497 but you lose sharpshooter. Para-0 has around 1379...

More so than before actually, considering that pierce got a bigger power buff than EA did. I don't though, because where EA is good (when it can hit multiple times), it's basically unmatched, and...

I wrote a rough list on which PA to use just a bit higher on this page, you can refer if you want.

As far as weapon is concerned, when you are not bossing you should be using launcher like 90% of...

For movement I personally actually just use that TMG with innate Grim Barrage, not entirely sure if it is faster, but at least there isn't the end delay.

Launchers:
Mandatory
- Diving Launcher - Crafted, try to get as low PP cot as possible. Aim towards the ground, and the explosion will hit everything around it.
- Cluster Bullet - Aim towards...

Tbh considering that basically every new boss has WB jamming already, its actually a buff to RA since they are buffing like every single PA we have to compensate. And since they are nerfing HP of...

Ra/Br is definitely still viable but /Hu is far more useful, with MH and Automate making SC and EA much safer to use, and better damage on non-weak points, as well as uncharged attacks.
If you want...

Try Ideal or Skull. They are easily the next best rifles in the line, and farmable solo

Honestly dying is not the issue here, especially when most hard hitting attacks are telegraphed. The issue is the fact that without MH, you need to worry about hits staggering you in the midst of a...

Ranger weapons are actually quite TAJA friendly, since Diffuse/Crazy Smash/uncharged Aiming Shot are fast PAs that can be used to lead in to stronger PAs.
Technically, Ra/Fi has greater multiplier...

Negative hunter gives 13% damage at +40. Other species hunter gives 20% damage for +40. Ex13 red gives 16% unconditional damage at +40, or 14% at +20.
Most endgame bosses are either darkers, or...

TBH before 13* just grab an EX13 +20 Red Rifle, probably beats everything else

207 more Att than Ideal, 103 more than Skull. Should be ~2-3% difference. Not worth trashing them for the new rifle imo. But for Launcher there is nth that comes close other than Ares, which is still...

If not using BB, just go sub Hu. Gives similar multipliers and much more survivability.

Only type 0 available. Anyways crafted homing emmision is weaker than uncrafted, as it weakens each individual hit. HE is best used at melee range where you lock onto 6 points and land it point blank...

Don't craft HE. uncrafted is 2-3 times stronger than crafted if landed properly. Glory rain is pretty good but I'm not really a fan of it. Typically I like to work with 2 palette with Rifles:...

but there is a catch with using Ideal, being that Ra main cannot equip it. Best for Ra main is probably crafted specific PA boosting bows (notably Nasuyoteri for Banish Nemesis), following which...
