Overview

Randall is a fairly standard attacker who boasts high charge attack damage potential, but it takes several turns and requires some party synergy to achieve maximum potential. Furthermore, the source of his boosted damage, Status Kickfighter's Creed 1.pngKickfighter's CreedCharge attack DMG and charge attack DMG cap boosted (Max: 5 lvls / Can't be removed)
, is reset after C.A., lowering his damage potential once again. Combined with his lack of party utility, he becomes a decent character, but not particularly worth a party slot outside of certain party compositions.

How to Play

Randall's kit revolves around Status Kickfighter's Creed 1.pngKickfighter's CreedCharge attack DMG and charge attack DMG cap boosted (Max: 5 lvls / Can't be removed)

to weasel out of a large attack, but note that this will cost him his charge bar.

Full Auto

Note: Do not clear his Skill Fate Episode if you intend to use him in Full Auto teams.

Randall is an enabler in Full Auto, 1-turn C.A. teams. It requires some specific components, such as Icon job 300301.pngChrysaor MC, a 3★ Summon s 2040157000.jpg Huanglong as a main or support summon, the +30% Crew charge bar boost, and a relatively strong grid, but players who can fulfill its requirements can quickly clear battles without focusing on them.

With the above setup, Randall can C.A. from second position thanks to his Status Uplift.pngCharge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%

(which will grant at least +20% charge bar to all allies after them). With another character in third position that can gain at least Status Uplift.pngCharge Bar +10%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 10%

, the fourth slot can consist of nearly any character (as long as they don't have a skill that consumes charge bar).

consumes 30% charge bar, thereby negating his role as an enabler. Since Full Auto would automatically use it, the only way to prevent that is by not unlocking the skill. Being limited to two skills also makes Randall a "faster" option compared to some of his alternatives.

Zeze's recommended EMP build for Randall (SR), designed for Full Auto teams.

The top priorities for this build are both Critical nodes as well as the Support Skill. At 3★, it will be ~100%Verification needed. chance to gain Status Kickfighter's Creed 1.pngKickfighter's CreedCharge attack DMG and charge attack DMG cap boosted (Max: 5 lvls / Can't be removed)
, which makes up for the lack of Sway. Taking a few points in C.A. DMG will help him contribute damage.

Because this build is meant for clearing content in one turn, nodes like Charge Bar and DA which are recommended in Gamewith's build are unnecessary. Charge Bar may be useful for people who want to use him for this purpose, but unlocked his Skill Fate Episode.
