Rainmaker Eddie (Assassin Type)

Want to shard up either Rainmaker or Eternity soon, need a purply Eddie. I'm torn. What say the Rainmaker experts?

Rainmaker, eternity is pretty lackluster imo. Also rainmaker is badass

Mine has 3 assassin talismans, 2 boost wills and 1 holy arcane. The 3 assassin talismans are not even 5*. Yet with my strat of spamming mark on an enemy then executing kills almost all bosses

Hes also a great farmer with his claim!

Depends on what you're looking for, I think. Rainmaker is pretty much just straight damage, so he needs a solid support team for PVP. He's fantastic as a PVE loot grinder and trashes the Gunner LoL boss.

I haven't had a chance to try out Eternity, but his skill set looks potentially useful for PVP (particularly Parting Blows). He also has a much lower Skill Shard investment.

Speaking as a rainmaker expert (think I'm one of the first to max him so I've seen him at his all time lows ), I probably wouldn't max him again if I had the chance - since skill shards are pretty hard to come by these days! Luckily, with the launch of the achievements back in October I was able to finish him with 12 shards to go! Only took three months

He's lackluster in the arena - no matter how much damage a character does, with as awful defenses and HP as he has, there's just no room for him in most teams. Even teams built around him are pretty easy to beat (I've tried one blocker, two blockers.. no gravy).

If you're looking for a decent PvE manual farmer, his claim ability is very good and does some heavy AoE damage (however it's a three tap move meaning more time required to beat a level). One thing I tried yesterday was his fury, execute, against Horus. With one mark pre-applied, Horus was left on his knees begging for mercy! In the gunner LoL dungeon, he certainly wrecks havoc - I've seen some huge numbers from him.

All in all a cool novelty character but I believe he requires yet another few tweaks to compete with the other five star eddies. Of course if you've got 32 shards to spare and you want a good laugh, go for it. Since, he is the coolest eddie out there!

But hey! He has dat sweet cleanse!

Ask for a slot from jofer, im sure he would accept ur request! Eternity eddie prob does less dmg on purpose, he has a reflect shield with his heal, and revenge. I prefer rainmaker personally

A question to all the built Rainmaker owner...
Is he in the end worth it, already have a deep rooster & don't plan to go all out PvP for a while, been stockpiling shards & with the coming home rewards on the way I could shard him right away...
He's definitely the coolest looking Eddie with the Cyborg but once built, is he too likely to be benched 90% of the time?...
Have to say I never played a fully built one..

Sag - I think Hypnos wrote a pretty good synopsis a couple posts up.

I did end up dumping a bunch of shards in mine and have fun pulling him out to play manually. I agree he's a very cool Eddie and it's gotten to the point in the game for me I'm sharding toons I think are cool (like Purple CotD and Rainmaker) even if they're not useful in the arena.

I've never used Rainmaker in the arena and I usually finish them off pretty easily when I see them. So if it's for fun - go for it - but if you're thinking arena - I agree with Hypnos - save the shards

I remember one shotting these with my DM or Prisoner when I see one too, he's the squishy kind to say the least...
Arena is kinda far ahead for me presently, I'll probably flip a coin after the rewards just in case I'd pull a Cyborg or something.. Also be the eternal time who knows..

Tanks for the quick reply Niko, and Hypnos for the excellent write-up on what to expect from what used to be the rarest Eddie

Seems like there ARE no rare Eddies anymore

Still unable to decide whether it's a good or a bad thing, at least we get to see them now

*Edit, finally sharded the guy... A good laugh, he's probably the funniest Eddie to play manually I've seen... Would've needed those older purple talisman to unleash full potential in my opinion but with the right team he's definitely a monster... Let's see when BNW hits
