Sword Taker

[A mercenary who focused on refining his swordsmanship skills]
He suppresses the power of his Nasod Arm and uses his blade to deliver slashes at extreme speed.

[Finishing Slash] A quick slash that pierces through the target. Use this skill to catch the enemy off guard.

[Shockwave - Divider] Use this skill to take out enemies that are gathered around in a small area. Can also be activated midair.

[Berserker Blade] Suddenly extends the length of the blade to slash the enemy. A useful skill with a relatively low MP cost.

[Hypersonic Stab] Use this skill on a powerful enemy. Very useful skill on multiple enemies.

Background

Raven's new Nasod arm is powerful. Too powerful, in fact, that he has chosen not to rely on it. He is afraid that using it might overpower his consciousness and cause another threat towards the Kingdom of Velder. Unleashing the pent-up rage within him from the past will only lead to destruction. His willpower to resist the usage of his Nasod arm has turned him back to mastering his old swordsmanship and becoming a Sword Taker.

Trivia

• Unlike Raven's other classes, Sword Taker's Nasod Arm shows little change from its original appearance, merely covering the circular detail on the back of the hand.
• Before the model revamp, the metal plates on Sword Taker's Nasod Arm were significantly more white. After the model revamp, it was changed to a much darker grey metallic color with more details.
  • The revamped artwork for Sword Taker still depicts his Nasod Arm with a whiter shade metal, though his current Nasod Arm is much more similar to base Raven's arm in terms of hue.
• Investigation of client data shows this class was initially called "Soul Taker".
