# Rage — Anime Apocalypse Gadget

**Tier:** S · **Rarity:** legendary
**Credibility:** verified_single_source · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Effect

S-tier offensive gadget per FRVR — specific effect numbers not yet attested on Discord.

## Notes

**Rage** is the second S-tier gadget per FRVR's ranking. Unlike Black Hole (3 independent aggregators) the S placement is single-source — specific effect mechanics are not yet attested in the Discord `❔ faq` channel.

## Single-source caveat

FRVR's tier list rates Rage at S-tier but does not specify the exact effect (damage boost vs. AoE pulse vs. crit-rate buff). Until Discord's _Meta Build_ or _Gadget Database_ threads document Rage's specific behavior, this page reflects the placement consensus without inventing mechanic detail.

Related: the Rage cosmetic (Battle Suit (Rage)) is a separate exchange-shop item — do not conflate the cosmetic with this gadget.

## Effect detail

Per frontmatter `effect_text`, Rage is marked as an "S-tier offensive gadget per FRVR — specific effect numbers not yet attested on Discord." The gadgets tier-snapshot (`tier-snapshots/index.json`, category `gadgets`, 2026-05-13) reinforces this with the note **"FRVR-only S placement; effect not described in sources."** `docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.3 records the same status ("Rage — generic IP / not described / Raid 钦定 cosmetic (Battle Suit)").

## Best modes

Per `docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.5 (Shiroo死, 2026-05-09), gadgets are officially split into three mode rankings. Rage's canonical home is the **Raid gadget ranking**: Foong's _Meta Build_ thread (§1.1.1, 2026-05-10) names "Rage (Battle Suit)" as the cosmetic-slot pick for Raid loadouts, paired with a weapon from Spin / Naoya / Akaza / Coyote and the [Reaper](/traits/reaper/) trait. For the **Survival** (§1.1.2) and **Infinite** (§1.1.3) loadouts, Foong picks [Black Hole](/gadgets/black-hole/) or [Infinity](/gadgets/infinity/) instead — Rage is not the Survival/Infinity cosmetic pick.

## Tier positioning

Sits at S tier in the gadgets snapshot with `sources_supporting: 1` (FRVR only) — `docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.3 documents the S placement as "verified (FRVR + Tier 1)" because Foong's Discord _Meta Build_ thread independently confirms it as the Raid cosmetic. Cross-source breadth is narrower than [Black Hole](/gadgets/black-hole/) (FRVR + Beebom + Tier 1) — both are S, but Black Hole sees 3 attestation streams while Rage sees 2.

## Synergies & comparison

In Raid loadouts, Rage occupies the same cosmetic slot Black Hole takes for Survival / Infinite — meaning Rage replaces, rather than complements, AoE-setup gadgets. Per `docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.1.1 / §1.2.1, the canonical Raid pairing is Rage + a Raid weapon (Spin / Naoya / [Atomic](/abilities/atomic/) / [Destructive Fists](/abilities/destructive-fists/) per the §1.2.1 Reaper matrix) + [Reaper](/traits/reaper/) trait + Colossus Titan or [Igris](/pets/igris/) pet (§1.1.4). For Survival builds, swap Rage out for Black Hole or Infinity.

## Acquisition

Per frontmatter, Rage has rarity **legendary** with credibility `verified_single_source` (FRVR tier list). The frontmatter does not record a drop rate. Note: `docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.3 explicitly calls Rage a "Battle Suit" cosmetic — the in-game item appears tied to the cosmetic system rather than the standard gadget gacha, but full unlock path detail is not yet documented in `docs/04`.
