Weapon Taker

Speciality

As a weapon, the Nasod Arm requires a strong foundation of intellect, but since Raven was once a mercenary, his body became more combat-oriented instead after much of his experiences. Still, a few hysterical aspects (of the Nasod Arm) have bound to his basic skills allowing Raven to deal more damage at the risk of damaging it; Raven is now able to execute complex attacks by integrating medium-range flame attacks from his Nasod Arm with his combat proficiency.

Flames or fire bullets that are launched from the Nasod Arm explode on target, and for that reason, Raven's Nasod Arm can overheat. However, this overheating system can be exploited as a strategic attack to deal enormous amounts of damage by making use of the increased heat generated by the arm. Raven's Nasod Arm, when beyond overheated, can now withstand the high temperature and is able to continuously attack. The most opportune time for the Weapon Taker to attack is when he has plenty of stamina, but he needs to be well prepared first.

Background

Raven tries to restore the honor of the "Crow Mecenaries" remembering the sacrifice of his companions.

The Crow Mercenaries were never rebels. They took the fight to prove the honour of the Velder Kingdom.

Even after his escape from the Nasods who implanted within him a spirit responsible for his misdeeds and sins, he still could not forget his comrades and fiancee who fought and sacrificed themselves for him.

He now returns, not for vengeance, but as the Leader of the Crow Mercenaries and will do what he needs to restore their lost honour.

"I will remain the Raven that I was to begin with.

As long as I am alive, the Crow Mercenaries will never die out; I am back and I will show you the Crow Mercenaries restored to its former glory.

For them... I will once again don the uniform of the Crow Mercenaries..."

Additional Combos

Image Description
File:WtCombo1.png Overheat barrage

Fire a fire bullet, then do dash attack and cause an explosion at point-blank. If you press X repeatedly, you fire off a barrage of explosions that do a large amount of damage, but this will consume HP due to overheating. You will glow red for a few seconds, which is the "overheat" state. In this state, you will temporarily gain an extra 10% in damage for normal combos and skills.

  Hit and Run

Raven attacks three times with his sword, then does a backroll, firing 2 shots from his hand. Whereas, holding the directional button, he does a front roll pass his enemies and then grabs them with his arm.

File:WtCombo3.png Aerial Fire

In midair, slashes once, then use your nasod arm to cause an explosion; press again for another, larger, explosion, thereby propelling yourself higher. This combo is somewhat similar to Rune Slayer's >>^xzz


Overheating Skills

Weapon Taker has a unique system in which he can increase the effects of some skills by "overheating" himself. Such skills include Revolver Cannon, Giga Prominence and Hellfire Gatling. To do this, one must repeatedly press the skill button for the corresponding skill several times in succession. If done right, a small text will appear saying "OVERHEAT", you will glow red and the skill will be longer than usual. You will result in the loss of HP after using this system.

Trivia

  • Has an overheat System, which allows certain skills and combos to be extended and do more damage for a short amount of time if the key is pressed repeatedly, but you will inflict upon oneself some fire damage as a penalty.
  • The >>^X flares are now red.
  • Weapon Taker and Reckless Fist are the only classes with a Necklace accessory.
  • His necklace accessory appears to be black feathers, this might be a pun on his name, or a reference 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.
