Background

  • In-game Version
  • Nexon Version

If the goal is to become righteous, then the path towards that goal should also be a righteous one.

As part of atonement, Raven focuses on his sword technique, strictly controlling his Nasod Arm.

His signature swift movements and attack divulge from using brute strength.

Instead, enemies are caught unawares by his subtle attacks, which are still powerful enough to cut through steel.

Trivia

  • As Blade Master is described as a fencer, his weapon is designed to look like a saber, one of the traditional fencing weapons, though it is more curved than a modern saber one would use for fencing nowadays.
    • Sabers are intended to both be able to stab and slash to call back to their historical origins, as opposed to rapiers that are purely meant for stabbing. This is reflected in Blade Master's skill set as well.
  • Contrary to Blade Master's theme of rejecting his Nasod Arm, he inexplicably gains the ability to generate small black holes out of his Nasod Arm.
  • In the original portrait of Blade Master, it would show that Raven had one of his eyes closed. However, in the old UI, it would show that Raven had both eyes open.
  • Before the portrait revamp of their 1st job, Blade Master and Reckless Fist shown the most difference in age from their previous jobs.
  • The combo image for Slashing Uppercut is edited to match Raven's class after it was moved from Sword Taker. The original image that depicts Sword Taker can be found here.
