Ranger is an excellent choice for pawns. I always like to have at least one in my party at all times for their versatility and combat adaptability. They're not ideal against every enemy, but they're almost never helpless.

I built my Ranger pawn alt for straight physical damage, normally equipped with Framae Blades, the Revenant Wail longbow, two strength rings, Thousand Kisses & Instant Reset, Tenfold Flurry only, Challenger/Mitigator inclination, and the following augments : Clout, Vehemence, Stability, Adhesion, Opportunism, Sinew.

I used to be a big fan of Great Gamble, but it misses too often for my taste nowadays. Equipping Tenfold Flurry as their only bow skill maximizes their shots fired per minute, rarely missing their target.

With regard to Strider pawns, I love the devastating power of Brain Splitter but pawns often miss fast-moving targets with it. My Strider pawn alt is only equipped with Framae Blades (no bow) because I built her to climb. Skills : Thosand Kisses, Brain Splitter, Cutting Wind. Augments : Adhesion, Opportunism, Clout, Vehemence, Sinew, Stability. Inclination : Challenger/Mitigator.

My party is synced to Challenger/Mitigator inclinations because I'm a proponent of classic Napoleonic strategy :  Target the enemy's support logistics and communications systems first before going after the main army.
