Weapon Taker/es: Difference between revisions

[[File:OldOverheat.png|thumb|Old overheat state; Raven's entire body was engulfed in flames.]]

'''Weapon Taker''' and [[Veteran Commander]] has a unique system in which he can increase the effects of some combos and skills by "overheating" himself as well as increasing his damage output by 10% in a similar fashion to [[Awakening Mode]]. To do this, one must repeatedly press the skill button for the corresponding skill 5 times or more in succession; if done right, a small text will appear saying "OVERHEAT". However, Overheating will result a loss of HP as well as a recoil that leaves one vulnerable. Whereas Weapon Taker's skills will recoil with an uppercut after overheating, [[Veteran Commander]]'s skills will recoil with a swing.

Such skills include:

*[[Revolver Cannon]]  

*[[Giga Prominence]]  

*[[Hellfire Gatling]]

**Overheating no longer damages Raven over time. Instead:  

***For combos, each extra X blast consumes a bit of HP.  

***For Skills, with the exception of [[Deadly Raid]], at the end of the overheated skill, 20% of the damage done from the overheated damage will be deducted from HP.

**The way to see if Raven is overheated is changed. Rather then his whole body on fire, he now only sets his arm ablaze. [http://elwiki.net/wiki/images/Arm.png'''''New way of seeing overheat state(Veteran Commander's arm vents will open, Weapon Taker's arm will just be on fire)'''''].

**[[Harpoon Spear]], [[Deadly Raid]] and [[Ignition Crow]] have been added to the Overheat list.

*Though not mentioned in his backstory, Weapon Taker improves his arm not by letting it evolve like [[Over Taker]], but instead by taking parts from enemies and integrating them with his arm, improving it without increasing its influence on him. Thus this is why he is named "Weapon" Taker.

*His necklace appears to be black feathers, which may be a reference to his [[Raven|name]], or to the Crow Mercenaries.

*Though the artwork shows him to look as old as [[Blade Master]] or [[Reckless Fist]] instead of Raven's other 1st class branches, this is only due to a different artist.

*In the original teaser trailer of '''Weapon Taker''', at the end there was a combo in which Raven could boost himself upwards like Chung's >>^x.

**Upon further inspection, this combo is simply the >>^ZXX where the 2nd X propels you slightly into the air. This is because in the original teaser trailer of '''Weapon Taker''', some of the attacks were specially modified. For example, the XX X~X combo was modified so that instead of lauching the initial bullet, an explosion similar to [[Giga Prominence]] came out of the ground. This is due to possible balancing reasons.

*His in-game model loses one of his characteristic scars in his face while his Skill and art at the top of the screen, still show it.

*During S1 PvP, many moves depleted HP in values where you'd have to be careful of which moves you decided to overheat.

**Before the Overheat revamp, you could actually kill yourself by using Overheat.
