Megalos Anemos offers a lot of useful buffs to the party.
Roaming Cyclone and Smagrados can help with many multihit omens in V2 fights.
Wind IV can be pretty useful to prevent particular enemy attacks and omens from hitting immediately with the Undaunted Gale debuff as well as gaining C.A reactivation which boosts Smagrados stacks.
Aeras Arche is always active regardless of placement in the party or if he is dead.
Weaknesses
Taking enough hits will remove Tempestas Iudicium
Due to him working better on C.A teams, lockout is gonna be high.
His cooldowns can be pretty long.
How to Play
The goal with playing Raphael in the frontline is to charge attack as often and consistantly as possible.
Synergy
Classes
Kengo with a Wind Unsinged Kashige with Devilry will grant a lot of Charge Bar specially combined with Tempestas Iudicium’s 10% Uplift Effect.
Similarly, Sumabito with Arkab Prior also offers a lot of Charge Bar maybe to a lesser extend, however Shiranui Stance’s Hostility boost can help the rest of the team keep Tempestas stacks at the cost of the MC’s does not have any way to dodge; and Tag Team can help with charge bar gain in a pinch.
Relic Buster’s Limit Burst is also a quick way to help with Smagrados stacks and activate Galeburst and if Windhose is the main weapon can help generate charge bar and boost C.A damage once uncapped.
Once Rising Force reaches Ultimate Mastery, it can help generate a lot of Charge Bar and Feedback especially with Daur da Blao as a main hand weapon once it’s fully uncapped.
Party Members
At 5★, Seofon and Raphael directly benefit from each other's kits. Cuore di Leone can help retain Tempestas stacks thanks to the Unchallenged effect it brings while it and Seven Star’s Brilliance are easy ways to accumulate Smaragdos stacks and activate Galeburst while the Dodge All effect from Megalos Anemos helps Seofon maintain Swordshine stacks. And of course, higher levels of Transcendence bring more benefits such as the Fated Chain Bar boosts from Infinito Creare at Level 130 for V2 fights and Seven Star’s Brilliance being recastable once at maximum Transcendence.
While Catura at 5★ doesn’t directly buff Raphael other than with Mooved (which can still be pretty useful in grids with 2 Tiamat Arc Aura and/or Spear of Renunciation/Repudiation with Cunning Temptation). Cowlick Lift is an easy way to gain more Smagrados stacks and activating Galeburst with it’s C.A Reactivation to Catura herself and the MC, which can generate even more charge bar with the methods previously discussed.
Raphael’s is a good candidate for Kaguya’s Heavenly Winds’ buff. And Kaguya gaining C.A reactivation once the ally uses their own charge attack helps with gaining Smagrados stacks.
Since Raphael dispels with C.A, Enyo can gain Instant Charge and deal damage immediately thanks to her Trampling Spear skill.
Summons
Tiamat Omega’s bonus Wind Damage and Mirror Image pair up pretty well with Tempestas.
Zephyrus’s Charge Bar boosts is pretty useful and pair pretty well with a C.A party.
Kaguya once fully uncapped boosts charge bar as well as giving a C.A damage boosts as well as autorevive being always useful.
