Raphael			B	C	C	-
Pros	Very effective cleanser for Sloth 14 - his Tailwind cleanses the party's ailments, plus he's immune to Bind, Charm, and Mute, ensuring he cannot be stopped from using it. Tailwind also pierces Bulwarks, letting him contribute to damage dealt. Tailwind will also revive one fallen ally at random with 50% HP up to 6 times, given that he is not afflicted with Suppression. The revive effect becomes more threatening the more Archangels are on your team. P1 increases his overall damage dealt, while P2 lowers the Force affinity of all enemies by 1 level if there are 3 or more Divine/Heralds alive on your team. P3 grants a 40% Light/Force damage boost to Divine/Herald party members, as well as an additional Press Turn to the team whenever Raphael is revived from a demon skill. P4 deals a little extra damage and gives him Concentrate when entering a boss battle.
Cons	In Sloth, he might not consistently use Tailwind to cleanse unless the enemies are weak to Force (via Force affinity down). Raphael can provide this himself at p2, but you'll need to bring 2 other angels to activate it. Alternatively, his Yellow archetype offers Prayer as another method of cleansing. If using him for anything other than cleansing, he'll need a team built around him to work well. God's Blessing does not deal damage, unlike Uriel and Gabriel's passives. Panel 4 only works against bosses, making it useless in PvP. This, combined with the high cost of P4, makes it a very questionable investment. His healing, DEF buff, and ATK debuff chain effects are all defensively oriented, however he is somewhat fast and lacks bulk - a role mismatch. Weak to Dark unless Teal.
Notes	God's Blessing pairs well with Lakshmi A, as the heal with trigger Diwali and restore MP to your team. This allows you to circumvent Camael's MP drain, which would otherwise stop Archangels Teams in their tracks. For Sloth 14, consider using Party Moh Shuvuu with panel 1 (obtained from Dx2 Duel points), as she can cleanse more reliably than Raphael.
