Veteran Commander

Specialty

Thanks to the modifications done on the Nasod Arm, Raven is able to tolerate overheating much better, allowing him to execute even more explosive flame-based attacks. He now possesses abilities that leave flames on the ground, burning enemies who walk through the scorching ground. With Shadow Backslide, he is capable of shadow stepping in both directions to misdirect and evade enemies.

Background

Before his Nasod arm could overheat one too many times and fail him in battle, he approaches the Ponggos for their expertise in weapons.

They promptly send him out to collect rare materials for the repair: Ignis' arm that blasts out nuclear flames, for greater firepower; the dark steel of Durahan Knight, for better heat resistance; and enchanted, mass-altering golem fragments, for making the usually heavy dark steel easier to carry. Gathering all these materials from such huge, dangerous monsters is clearly not simple, but Raven succeeds nonetheless.

The Ponggos complete the Nasod arm enhancement, and soon pushing the overheat system to its limits, Raven becomes the distinguished Veteran Commander—a temperamental yet compassionate leader of fighters.

Second Class Advancement

At Lv35, Weapon Taker can advance into Veteran Commander. The second class advancement quest is obtained from Ariel, the event NPC located in every town.
Veteran Commander can also be obtained by using the Item Mall item: Badge of the Crow Mercenaries.

Additional Combos

Image Description Damage
File:VCcombo1.png

Air Bomb Raid
(Will overheat)
Raven jumps into the air, shoots out an explosive shell, and continues the combo with a barrage of shells at a 45 degree angle. The first shell he fires requires MP, and launches the target slightly. Repeatedly pressing the X key will fire shells repeatedly, causing overheat, with the last shell also launching the target. However pressing the X key only twice will fire the first shell and then another, both of which will launch the target, with no overheat. Should the shells come into contact with a platform they will leave a trail of fire momentarily, burning any targets they come in contact with. The shells will fizzle out and disappear if they travel far enough without contact, however flames still appear where they would hypothetically land. A maximum of 10 shells can be fired in one volley.

Sword Flame Thrower
(Requires overheat)
After executing the standard >>ZZ combo, Raven spins around, striking the target with his claw and blasts flames from his palm. Requires overheat to use at all; attempting to do so without enough HP will cause instant recoil. Hold the button to both start and continue spraying flames. The flames will cancel manabreak.

Trivia

  • Raven increases the firepower of his Nasod arm, further increasing the risk of overheating his arm and injuring himself.
  • Whenever Veteran Commander's arm overheats, it will show as his arm 'vents' opening, and makes a sound when it closes.
  • With both Mercenary Behavior and Mercenary Survival Strategy, Veteran Commander can become extremely resistant to overheat, status effects, and damage when low on HP, making him a progressively difficult opponent to injure.
  • During Veteran Commander's release event in NA/UK, when summoning his NPC Card, the angel from the KR pre-release event appears and fights for them. However, this didn't happen in his pre-release event.
  • Veteran Commander has exceptional mid-air maneuverability compared to other job classes after learning Air Slicer, which gives him the most mid-air skills out of any job class.
  • Veteran Commander's overall design has crow-like motifs.
    • Both his Nasod Arm and weapon resemble the head of a crow/raven.
    • His uniform and accessories bear a sharp feather-like design.
