Should you pull?

CONSIDER. Rapi is a permanent SR, no need to save pulls or chase copies — new players will naturally pick her up through daily crates/upgrades to fill an early Counters squad. Players with a strong SSR lineup can skip her entirely.

Review & Analysis

Rapi is a Fire Attacker wielding an AR with Burst III, an accessible SR often found in Beginner Team lineups for Story/Campaign content. Skill 1 FF Formation triggers after being attacked 20 times, buffing her own ATK for 20 seconds — a reward for staying on the front line. Skill 2 Missile targets the highest-ATK enemy with heavy damage plus a Taunt effect. Her Burst Warhead Volley hits the same kind of target with even greater damage and boosts her own ATK further — the main damage source and the biggest power spike in her kit.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Warhead Volley (biggest single-target damage + self ATK buff) → Skill 2 Missile (second-largest single-target damage) → Skill 1 (passive ATK buff, triggers when attacked).

1/1/1 (playable) → 4/4/4 → 7/4/7 (final). Prioritize Skill 2 and burst since both deal direct damage plus taunt; Skill 1 is just a passive self-buff, so leave it for last.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Burst snipes the highest-ATK enemy, removing the biggest threat first.
  • Skill 2 deals 528.97% ATK damage and taunts for 5 seconds, buying the team a safety window.
  • Skill 1 self-buffs ATK by 21.81% after taking 20 hits, useful in drawn-out fights.

Weaknesses

  • SR base stats (HP 252742 · ATK 12982) trail far behind the Counters squad's SSRs.
  • AR normal attack only deals 13.65% ATK, so outside of burst her DPS is weak and she leans heavily on burst and Skill 2.
  • Skill 1's trigger (20 hits taken) makes her nearly useless in fights that end too quickly.
