The STRONGEST Character Made EASY! Rackam Guide: Granblue Fantasy Relink!

so what's all the fuss about with this guy anyway hello there everybody welcome back to the channel my name is josepher and today's gramly Fantasy reing video we're going to be covering Rackham those of you who watched my recent video outlining the top five characters in grbl fantasy reeling will know that I put rackam in the top spot and I've played the game for a significant portion of time over 200 hours in fact many of which I've spent playing rackam normally and then I've also spent a decent amount of time playing rackam in a way that makes him the top character in the game so if you want to find out more about what makes rackam so enticing for people trying to clear things quickly then stay tuned and keep on watching so Ram's primary role in gramble Fantasy relink is that of a range damage dealer and he just does damage he doesn't really do a lot of shenanigans with power control like oan or EO he just does damage and has a consistent stream of doing so so let's take a look at his skills and his General move list and see what there is to go know about rakam now I'm aware that a lot of people have covered rakam in great detail already but considering that he was the last character I was able to get the Terminus weapon for you may not have heard it from me so let's go over his basic game plan so when you press square you get a basic shot from rackam that's a three shot burst and you'll notice a gauge that's being lifted if you time his shots correctly it will do a significantly larger amount of damage and it will fill that gauge quicker if you hold the triangle button you'll get Bullseye blast which is unfortunately very bugged online it's a charge attack that charges quicker depending on how far your heat gauge has gotten but unfortunately when you're playing online even if you charge it to maximum it treats it as if you haven't so it's not necessarily the best move to be using online and it does kind of impact his gameplay jumping attacks wise you'll get just basic shots if you press the square button you can do it up to three times before you land and then you'll get his aerial barrage attack which is going to be significantly important as we go through the video and you'll see why as we progress so you could charge this up just as you would with Bullseye blast the closer you are to the enemy when you do this trust me will make a big difference so as we've done with the other characters we've covered I talk to you about the skills that I I currently use with rackam and then the ones that we don't use with rakam and then we'll go into why we probably won't end up using any of them so first of all we have coffin maker coffin maker is a stream of damage that does pretty heavy amounts of damage and will fill your heat gauge very very quickly then you have Spitfire which is a simple shot that inflicts a defense down then you have slag shot which is a AOE effect attack that is wind Elemental not that that really matters if you have wind War Elemental sigils but it's there to just in case you use the weakness in Grand blue but realistically it's just an attack you kind of want to use up close to a large enemy because it will deal a significant portion of damage if they you're right in their face doing it or if you're fighting multiple enemies it can be useful for that too then you have collateral damage here which is just a rather slow rather big attack that happens to hurt rackam in the process you can actually Dodge out of this I've seen quite a few comments saying why would you ever use this you like why would you hurt yourself Etc you can once you've let the bullet go Dodge a couple of times and you'll get away from it that way but the damage cap and damage potential of collateral damage is pretty solid however I would change this for a different skill if it weren't for the fact that Bullseye blast was bugged so the last sort of damaging attack that rackam has is bullet hail which sounds lovely when you use it it's similar to certain other attacks like P's rotor verbal but doesn't last nearly as long in terms of damage and it's a bit of a pain in the butt to use because if the enemy is out of bounds for whatever reason I'm looking at you baham then it just doesn't trigger I honestly thought that this was a bugged attack as well for a long while before realizing that that was the case rakam has two Buffs that he has access to so he has double tap first which will add extra hits to his regular square attack so if you're using that relatively often then you may want to consider using this I don't I tried it for a while I found that I just did more damage with other things and then you have wild gun smoke if it weren't for the fact that Bullseye blast was bugged I would use this it UPS his attack decreases his defense and makes it so that his heat gauge doesn't fall so the damage numbers that you're seeing here are more akin to what you would be used to if it weren't for the online portion of the game bugging it out but it is bugged currently so you can have the choice of either using an extra attack or you can just not use any of his skills at all and then his last skill is duration which is a like invulnerability Dash I kind of think this is useless to be honest it looked really cool when I was playing through the game but I just ended up not using it because a perfectly timed Dodge or even a non-perfectly timed job but a Dodge will do do the job perfectly fine so before we go into the builds I'm going to explain the reason why you tend not to use skills with rackam at all but or at least if you're trying to speedrun a lot of endgame fights the reason for this is because the damage cap on the aerial barrage attack is absurdly high and then the actual damage that you deal with it doesn't compensate for that so what you can do is you can build your rackam to have a gargantuan amount of attack and damage boosters as well as damage cap even with sigils like Berserker or Les is more so that you're not actually using your skills at all and you're just using aerial barrage because when you do so you get a ridiculous amount of damage if you time it well so you can deal upwards of a million damage a shot if every bullet connects and which is not best displayed on the dummy because of the fact that you is very small but against larger enemies it's not difficult diffult to hit every bullet here so you can imagine that with a 60-second timer you can do crazy amounts of damage so if you look at the difference there between the grounded shot and the higher shot and the total damage that I'm dealing here it's just ridiculous so in terms of build you can do rackam in the normal way just getting your damage cap leveled up and then increasing your attack stats through stamina tyranny Etc to make it so that you're capping every shot that you're doing or you can go straight into the build that utilizes aerial barrage so this requires less is more at maximum level which increases your attack by 120% while you don't have any skills assign and you will need that attack in order to make it so you're hitting the damage cap that is bizarrely high for aerial barrage so you can go with Berserker as well I actually don't have my berserker's leveled because it just don't but that is another way that you can add a large amount of attack you could even add glass Cannon if your feed feeling really bold and you're going along with Berserker so that you can increase the damage cap and the Damage you deal even further however I tend to find that I would much rather use something other than using Berserker and stopping myself from being able to dodge at all and taking a hit in damage so that I'm still able to dodge so instead I just have a supplementary damage bullet or or sigil here so that you've got combo booster concentrated fire all things that just give damage because each instance of damage increase is multiplicative rather than additive so you're better off having access to say stamina on on one of your um one of your secondary stats and then having concentrated fire to increase your range damage combo booster cuz you're do using a lot of hits at once tyranny I have attack as a secondary stat because if it's getting boosted then why not and then that allows me to be able to dodge while I'm still doing the aerial barrage does not only that but you can actually just make it so that you're doing one and then if you dodge you actually get a second shot while you're midair so this allows you to still get a really solid damage output even though each individual shot is doing less damage would you get more damage by using Berserker and glass Cannon yeah of course you would but I quite like having the ability to dodge still in terms of party build for rackam especially if you're going down the aerial barrage route this is the party that I have found with AI that served me best all three of these party members have access to some sort of crowd control and all different types of crowd control as well because as long as the enemy is sitting still you're going to be dealing crazy amounts of damage so personal has his slow Lancelot has his freeze oan has his paralysis and having access to them is just going to make your damage much higher just because you're able to not have to worry about where you're aiming those aerial barrage shots of course if you're playing him normally this still applies I just find these three to be my favorite AI team in general because they just seem to bring what I'm looking for in terms of damage and also crowd control and support abilities if I need them honestly the damage that put you get from the aerial barrage version of rackam is so absurd that I would not be surprised if it was patched out in the next update for the game however I still think that rackam is an extraordinary character even without it I played him for a good 80 to 90 hours of my playr most of the time I was playing peral and whenever I wasn't I'd be playing rackam because his just safety of at a distance his ability to hit ads his ability to hit the enemy wherever it decides to go and his Mobility while he's doing it as opposed to oan makes me think that he is just one of the strongest characters in the game if not the strongest character in the game and then you add that ridiculous damage output in if you chose to go choose to go down that route and he's absolutely the strongest character in the game but if they do patch that out if you're going to do that side games please make it so that Bullseye blast does the damage it's supposed to when we're online because otherwise he's just going to get thrown in the bin so would I recommend rackam to players yeah so yeah nice short video for you on this one I wanted to release a video for raka specifically because I've used him a lot in Gran blue fantasy reink and obviously in my last video I very much was singing his Praises as the best character in the game and I wanted to explain why even though I'm sure lots of people have made guides to rakam and his aerial barrage already let me know in the comments he what you think of this like do you think that it should be patched out because it makes grinding significantly quicker and there's a lot of that to be done in this game or do you just think that it's something that needs to go because it makes him a little bit unfair because that's defin there's definitely an argument for that too certainly by the time the harder raids come out but I just want to see what happens when the new boss comes out to be honest it could shake things up entirely who knows comment down below and if you're not sure what to comment as always just say
