==Evaluation==
By far one of the (if not THE) strongest leaders in the game, hands down. When his Leader Skill is fully activated (matching 5 colors + activating a skill), it's a 5 * 2 = 10x to ATK, or '''100x''' with dual {{2012|MINN}} leads. The only other leaders with that kind of multiplier are {{498|MINN}} and {{803|MINN}}, and it's much, MUCH harder to hit their requirements. By the time you're able to achieve this evolution, you should be reasonably comfortable with Ra's rainbow matching requirements - especially with frequent Active Skill activations helping you out.

Naturally, the best subs for Awoken Ra are ones with short cooldown skills. Also useful are {{AwokenSkill19|20}} Awakenings, {{AwokenSkill21|20}}s, and defensive skills.
*{{1747}}: Ra's BFF. Activating her skill means a guaranteed 100x for Awoken Ra. Also great as a co-leader. {{1588}} is almost as good.
*{{440}}: Yes, you can activate this thing every round! Have fun skilling it up, though...
*{{2009}}: 4-turn enhance plus increased orb move time? Needless to say, if you have the bird in addition to Ra, it's a shoo-in. {{2011}} is in the same boat.
*{{1217}}{{997}}: Binds are the #1 way to disable an Awoken Ra team, and these ladies are the #1 fast-acting solutions. Note that you can't activate their skills if you're at full health and not bound.
*{{1928}}: Change the World every 5 rounds? Not a bad idea.
*{{1298}}{{812}}{{814}}: Short cooldown defense skills, for when you might need an extra turn or two.
*{{1727}}{{1728}}{{1729}}{{1730}}{{1731}}: The classic Ra Heartbreaker subs are back, this time with the extra benefit of an easy 5-turn cooldown. Take note that you can't activate their Actives if there are no Hearts on the board to transform.

==For New Players==
Ra is one of the most challenging leaders to start with, but also one of the most rewarding. If you have the patience and aptitude to stick with him (especially if you have an easier leader to help you through the tough times), there's nearly no content in the game that can stand in your way. Even if you don't feel confident with Ra yet as a new player, you may be glad to have him in your arsenal when you're ready to take on advanced dungeons in the future.

==Background==
Ra was the Sun God of the ancient Egyptians. Pharaohs were considered to be incarnations of Ra, which may be why his representation in this game is made up of so many royal sarcophagus lids. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra Wikipedia]
