I'm still playing around a bit before deciding on the skill shard investment. Looks like execute got more powerful. If I could make one character adjustment then I would like to see the skill shards for mark go towards extra turn chance rather than increased damage. I think that would greatly increase his effectiveness towards the shard investment.
Hello everyone!
I got a brand-new Rainmaker Eddie (thanks to Sacrifice update) - but i have never used him in any team combination.
As far as i remember, he was specialized with his crazy high Special Stat at first LOTB era. Then we have experienced many character tuning updates - we still do. But now i really don't know how he is "currently" or is he useful with any team combination?
I would like to hear your experiences about this ultra-rare Eddie.
Cheers!
Hey osiris, good to see you back.Quote:

He can fit in any team since no enemy team in the campaign can ever get a turn against him."Claim" (his past basic attack) does AoE damage and heals the whole team for every mark on the target. Fervor is quite broken (ie doing more damage than it should due to damage charge being applied every time) along with assassin troll since it was introduced so the damage he does with fervor now will change when the devs eventually decide to fix it.
I would recommend an assassin set, two holy talismans and a health (ward) because all his attacks are either true, phyiscal and magic, or magic. Claim is his best move, so much so that it seems too powerful for the defense AI on PvP to ever use it. Also it does magic damage which is the reason for the two holy talismans.
He takes 31 skill shards but by god is he a good investment if you have the time and effort.

Well, about Rainmaker Eddie - i really appreciate your detailed info. But i have never seen anyone using him at PVP - you know, serious "Mummy Tauntfest" is going on there. By the way, i have tested his AI little bit. Looks like it's worth to keep him!
But 31 skillshards.. Sigh.. He probably have a secret name like "Rain-taker"
Because you must literally "Rain" the skillshards to max him out :cool:
Oh ya, he's not very popular in PvP. Partly due to his rarity but also because, even at maxed skills it's hard to find a good team for him.Quote:

My defense is inspired from his with the other AGS replaced with an AoS. Since I'm low in the ranks for most of the week I get a fairly alright "defense hold" rate when compared with my previous standard taunt team.
Despite that rainmaker still is a valuable character to have when it comes to your offense team. Suddenly gunner CR doesn't seem so OP any more!!
I won't blame you if you choose not to join the max skill rainmaker gang (shoutout to raccar and ill!) :cool: skill shards don't come like rain but like tiny droplets! Hey, there's a spot available on my list if you're looking for troopers!

I put my focus on offense first - so i can climb to higher ranks easier and get better items up there. Then i will have more resources to invest. First things first :)
Request sent! I look forward to try your fully maxed Rainmaker, then i can have a better idea :cool:
When I got my hoard of skill shards from sacrifice, first thing I did was max out AoP. He appears to be vital if you want to do well in PvP!Quote:

Claim is his best ability? well that's surprising! Or has it changed? My strat with him is pretty much using his 1 energy mark, which usually gives an extra turn (yesterday i had a crazy 7 extra turns on LoL, which killed him instantly with execute). Then activate the marks, which deals significant damage.
Though claim is meh for me, i use it when playing easy lvls and stuff like that...
Im using 4 assassin (2 shield and 2 barrier) sets for him and 2 boost will. Seems pretty good to me.
But if only i got him when he had his broken 6k special!
Claim is really, really good. Big pile of AOE damage, especially when fully sharded.Quote:

Although, if you're just using him for loot grinding on, say, Cast Die, I can see going with 3 Assassin and 3 Holy to max out the Magic damage. That's how I've built my Vampire Hunter and I might try that with my Rainmaker. Except that it really hurts Execute against the LOL bosses.Quote:

Oh, you're using Boost (Will) talismans. No wonder Claim sucks for you. Claim does Magic damage. :)
Ah yes...fun times. :)Quote:
