 Hey everyone, welcome back for more Exo Series content, today's video I'm going to discuss my hero guide for FC Rachel. So he currently has two FCs already, one Gold Fatecore and one Blue Fatecore. We're going to discuss his stats, his strengths and weaknesses, skills, playability in PvP and PvE content, recommended garden stones, synergy with other heroes, my overall rating and also my final thoughts. Before that, if you want to see more Exo Series content, please hit the subscribe button down below. So here we are at FC Rachel's profile. So I got FC Rachel early in the game pretty much when I started because I think he is one of the, or the first FC, a general that I really summoned for, I had to summon for him in the stream of creation. So that is why I got him that early. So for his profile, so he heals from the Nation-Saint-West, his element is fire, his position is attack and attack type is physical. So for his strengths, FC Rachel has above average attack, above average attack speed. He has average hit and he has average HP. And for his weaknesses, he has below average defense, low dodge, low crit hit and low block. So as you can see, Rachel is really built for, for a relentless attack. He's not really, he, he isn't the fastest unit in, in the bunch. He, but he deals a lot of damage if you use him wisely. Also he is kind of a support unit for all of your heroes in your team. Let's check out FC Rachel's passive. So his passive, he has this heartin, so afflicts enemies with lower attack than self, with a disheartened mark and decreases their dodge by 50 and defense by 20%. So this is his unique passive. So this triggers when his attack stat is higher than the enemy's attack stat. Also he has flow mana, which gives mana to the back row allies permanently and they gain one mana. And he has counter three. So just to discuss his passives, I'm going to discuss all three passives, oh sorry, all three heroes, hero versions. So first is your regular Rachel. So your regular Rachel only has counter three, flow mana, back row, and disheartened. So if you have Rachel's blue FC, so it's the same as his original form. But his gold fate core has Harbinger of Awakening and Executor of Battle. So when you try to use Rachel, it would depend really on what FC you have and what suits your team's playing style. So for his S1, it's quick slash. So for his regular form, it's 315 damage, Reset's turn if target dies. So it's the same with his gold FC, his S1. His S1 for his blue fate core is 100% damage, silence for 5 turns, then damage of 100% of own health. Then we look at his S2, which is a silent slash. So deals 525 damage to one enemy, increases attack slash hit of all allies with 50% and their attack speed by 20 for 10 turns if target dies. So this S2 is similar to everyone. So the original one, this gold fate core and the blue fate core. So this actually gives additional boosts to your team. So boosts through attack speed and increases attack of your allies.

So as for Rachel's playability, so we start off with PVP. So he is very good right now in TAG or main PVP especially. Some of the teams that are ranked above Master 1 and 3, up to the top 50 have used FC Rachel in their teams. So mostly he is combined with faster units, particularly Baraka because he combos with this unique passive with Baraka. And I've seen builds as well that incorporates Jin and Jinai to that back row team. And I've seen a build with FC Iris on the front. So for his PVP capabilities, Rachel is really built for speed. He is built for support. He is built to enhance the attacks of his teammates. And he is also decreasing the defense of his enemies. So he is very good right now in TAG and main PVP. So for PVE, he is good in closing out or clearing out chapters. He is also good in your battle if you're using him in your PVP team. He is good in holy graggling rounds for fire day because of just try to elemental enhance him so that he could break additional guardian stones almost playable in any PVP content. So good support unit and good attack unit. So here we are at FC Rachel's recommended guardian stones. So for him, I have three recommended guardian stones. The recommended guardian stones that I have would really boost his number one HP and also his dodge rate. He has actually below average dodge rate but it would be great if you increase his dodge rate up to an average level to increase his survivability. So my first recommendation would be fire because for your equipment set effects, he gets damage reduction and when you awaken him, he gets HP up to a maximum of 5000. The next would be is your nature set. For your equipment set effects, he gets dodge of a maximum of 20 but for if you awaken him, he gets HP plus 2000 maximum and plus 12 maximum for dodge rate. So for me personally, this is what I would use for him but there's a third option. If you want to pursue this one, this option is only good for his awaken set effects which is the light effect. The first portion which is your equipment set effects, it gives him a barrier which you don't really use that much but once you awaken him, it gives him plus 200 defense which gives him more survivability and his dodge increases to plus 12 for light if you awaken him. So for light, make sure that you awaken him so that you would have the maximum effect for this one. So as for synergy with other heroes, so if you can see in my screen, this is the team that I've seen in PVP which he synergizes well because Jani also gives the back row team a lot of speed as well. So he synergizes well with fast attack heroes. So he should be in your Blitzkrieg team, the one that attacks quickly and disables your enemies quickly. So that is his ideal build for PVP and also for PvE but particularly more on PVP. So he also supports the back row allies with mana and he is ideal with heroes with high attack. The only trick with Rachel is his survivability as well if you don't finish off your enemies in the first round of battle or second round because they could counter you with a lot of AOE. Make sure that he survives well, increases defense, try to increase his dodge also. So for my overall rating of Rachel, so this is a 1 to 5 rating, so 5 being the highest. So as for his stats, I would rate Rachel at a 4 because most of his stats are good. He has a lot of good strengths, his weaknesses can be masked through his gameplay and he can be paired with heroes who have share health and he can be masked on the defensive side by good defensive heroes. So next is your playability. So I rate him at a 5 because I've never had a problem with him in terms of playing him in any content. He excels well, he supports your team, he is not your main damage dealer actually. So he is your support damage dealer, he is a support character but with a lot of attack or a lot of punch as well. There are better damage dealing heroes out there so make him your secondary damage dealer for almost all the content that you play in. As for synergy with other heroes, so he is again good with a team that is fast so that limits his play style. If you really want to maximize him, build your team very fast. But other than that, he is again good in pairing with other heroes. He doesn't really need to be supported as much only in his survivability. But in other skill effects, in other things he do, he is pretty much an independent character or hero that you can switch in and out of multiple teams. So again, there is no limitation to where you put him. My suggestion is that you put him in a fast team to deal as much damage as possible that as quick as possible. So would I recommend FC Raid Shells? So first and foremost, let's clear this out. I am recommending FC Raid Shells Gold FC. The blue one, if you don't have a chance to get the gold one, the blue one is really okay but if you rank them, I'd really want you to get the gold FC over the blue one because of the differences in the skills and the passive as well. So I think gold would be better. I've used FC Raid Shells for a couple of months already and he's been very good in my roster and he really is a good general or support general for his team. So my final thoughts. You should be built with speed and damage, so be careful of tanky teams. Just be careful of tanky teams that you can't kill quickly because I'm sure that their counters are based on AOEs that could easily wipe out your team with Raid Shell. So the next would be increase your attack stat for unique passive to activate. So that's his disheartened skill. So increase the skill as much as possible because you need that skill to trigger so that your enemies would be softer and easier to kill. That's the key actually to having a fast attack speed with Raid Shell. He makes your other team softer so that your teammates or the team or your other heroes would have an easier time in killing the opposing enemy. And also don't forget to awaken Raid Shell if you can. So moving forward he is a good character for PvP. If you have him, build him, build him with dodge and build him with increased defense and also increase his attack stat.
