The funny thing is while I have him set as my Champion, he isn't my lead Eddie. My Soldier Eddie is my workhorse. Rainmaker is a single-terget specialist and I have him set as my Champion to give my fellow Troopers a chance to try him out. I'm still figuring him out myself. I also have to get his Talismans up to 4-star and I'm waiting for some upgrade talisman drops to do that.
I don't know if other Eddies have this quality, but Rainmaker appears to be very unusual in that his base Special stat is ludicrously high enough to refill his Fury every turn (after a bit of leveling up). You can use his Fury ability (Execute) every turn. I'm not kidding. It makes his Guard ability kinda pointless unless you really need the defense. It also makes Talismans that increase his Special completely not worth it, too. It's also odd in that it makes pretty much all of his other abilities pointless because you just end up using Execute every turn.
The Execute ability also only does (a lot of) damage to one target. If you need more of a cluster bomb, have your Rainmaker take an action to do some damage and refill your Fury, then swap in a different Eddie on the following turn and use his Fury ability. Pretty nice perk for your group.
Also note that his Fury ability (Execute) does both Physical and Magical damage. It's a bit awkward in terms of choosing your talismans, but three of them have to be purple anyway, and those appear to have both ATK and MAG bonuses.
An annoying thing about Rainmaker: all of his abilities can be leveled, so best of luck with where his Skill Shards land.
