Complete Rades Guide & Build | Skills, Gear, and Talents
Skills
First, let’s learn about his passive. His normal passive gives you extra speed, which is a stat that can be useful on almost any character.
The enhanced passive gives you a 30% chance of inflicting a taunt on your opponent, making them unable to attack anyone else on your team.
As a Defender, this will let him take the damage for his team, allowing him to perform his role effectively.
His first ability is No.4 Jimmy, letting him shoot a bullet at an enemy. This attack has a chance of applying a Poison effect that deals damage for 2 turns.
His second ability is No.3 David, letting him shoot out muddy water, dealing damage to all enemies. This is a great AoE damaging ability that lets you damage all of your opponents. Your allies will also gain increased DEF Lv. 2 for two turns.
Your Special Skill is No.1 Carl, letting Rades cast a strong, powerful shield to protect all allies.
- This barrier will be 140% of his ATK.
- 50% chance to grant an ally Increased Endurance Lv. 3 for two turns.
- Grants all allies Status Change Immunity for 2 turns.
The final move in his kit is the Combined Attack with a partnered mage. This attack will have a 60% chance of inflicting a Taunt for two turns. With this, you can Taunt a lot of people if you have a lot of AoE damage.
Here’s the Skills Upgrade Priority: No.1 Carl > No.3 David > Combined Attack > No.4 Jimmy.
Gear
For the Gear Set, you will want to go with a 2-set bonus Ominous Whip. This set will give you extra ATK stats, which is a stat that Rades can benefit from.
His barrier scales with ATK so the more you have, the more durable your teammates will be.
For the remaining two pieces, you’ll want to go with the The Great Merchant’s Collection 2/4 set effects.
The extra defense will make you more durable. Since you are going to Taunt and receive attacks frequently, more defense will mean a lot.
For his sub-stats, consider going for Magic Attack, Defense, or Endurance.
Talent
For his Red talents, go for:
- Increased MATK +7%.
