Sword Taker

Specialty

The Sword Taker relies mainly on his sword to deliver flurries and slashes at extreme speeds that even Elsword cannot match. The Sword Taker can creep right behind his enemies and slash them to death if they are not too careful.


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 caused him to revert to his old swordsmanship from when he was a soldier for the Velder Kingdom, thus being dubbed "Sword Taker".


First Class Advancement

 
Sword Taker can also be obtained by using the Item Mall item: Sword Taker's Revelation

Raven is required to be Lv15 to begin his first class advancement.
After completing the Taker quest chain, Raven can decide between advancing as a Sword Taker, Over Taker or a Weapon Taker.

Additional Combos

Image Description
  Normal Launch Combo

Does a regular ZZZ combo, but finishes with an uppercut that launches yourself and the target in the air.

File:STCombo2.png Dash Launch Combo

This is another launch combo, but you activate it by doing a dash attack
and then using the ZZZ combo. This is similar to the Launch Combo, except
that you do not launch yourself. Famous move for having low KD value.

File:STCombo3.png Finisher

After pressing XXZ, you have to repeatedly mash the Z button to do several fast hits.
If you don't hit it fast enough or stop, the combo will stop short and will be
ineffective. While spamming Z, it cannot be interrupted with another skill, no
matter what you use until the combo ends. It will always end with a Knockdown,
therefore you should only use it as a finisher, hence the name.
(Actually, the delay of the last hit may be cancelled into certain Actives or Special actives, extending the combo.)

Trivia

  • Sword Taker is one of the most durable classes in the game between regeneration from Bloody Accel and damage reduction from Refined Physique.
  • Unlike Raven's other classes, Sword Taker's Nasod arm shows little change from it's original appearance, merely covering the circular detail on the back of the hand, and the armor taking a whiter color.
  • Investigation of client data shows this class was initially called "Soul Taker". Reasoning for that remains to be seen, but it may have been changed due to possible copyright overlaps.
