Background

In-game Version
Nexon Version

A warrior that sacrifices his own body for a powerful attack.

Raven finds that his Nasod Arm is not built for frequent use of the Overheat system, and seeks to make his arm more durable, and powerful using the Flame Nucleus.

When his friends and the soldier trusted him and followed him, he decides to attach the Flame Nucleus despite the risks.

Now he can use even bigger explosives to eliminate enemies with overwhelming firepower.

Complete Veteran Commander 2/5	Enter 'Feita Village' (Right-click from World Map (Press M Key) to see the location.)
Description
With materials he obtained from defeating Nasods, the Ponggos made him a Flame Core. It will increase resistance to heat and increase destructive power of the Nasod arm, but the Ponggos warned that it will be more burden on the body. Feeling strange from all the concern as he accepts the Flame Core, Raven hears the request for reinforcement from Feita.

Description
Feita's situation was more serious than expected. Not certain if it's something that can be handled with just a few people, Raven assembles a troop before heading to Feita. He was prepared that no one would want to follow his orders with an arm like his, but the soldiers believed in him and followed his lead... Raven headed to Shrine of Dedication Entrance feeling something he never thought he would feel again.

Description
Raven decided as he looked after his friends fighting. Though some may say he's being reckless, he knew what to do. The moment he attached the Flame Core, the Nasod arm heated up. If he can become strong enough that he would never have to lose anything again, he will make the same decision again and again. As he headed to the Underground Chapel, Raven's Nasod arm burned with what seemed like unending flame.

Tips and Details

With both Mercenary Behavior and Mercenary Survival Strategy, Veteran Commander can become extremely resistant to overheat, status effects, and damage when low on HP, making him a progressively difficult opponent to injure.

Trivia

Whenever Veteran Commander's Nasod Arm overheats, vents will open and appear on his arm. They will also make a sound when they close.
- While equipped with Ice Burner gloves that changes Raven's Nasod Arm, the vents on Veteran Commander's arm will still appear.
During Veteran Commander's release event in NA/UK, when summoning his NPC Card, the angel from the KR pre-release event appears and fights for them. However, this didn't happen in his pre-release event.
Veteran Commander's design and concept seems to be based on crows. This is shown in his Nasod arm, weapon, uniform, and accessories bearing crow-like features.
- His skills Ignition Crow - Napalm, Ignition Crow - Incinerator, Burning Buster, and Ifrit Flame materialize black burning crows to attack the enemies. His old passive, Air Slicer, also uses a Black Crow symbol.
It is unclear exactly why or how Raven gains a red streak of hair in this advancement.
The Lock Down Veteran Commander skill cut-in appears to be depicting him using Revolver Cannon with his right eye closed, as if he's taking aim.
Investigation of official document shows this class was initially called "크루얼 파이터 (Cruel Fighter)".
The last hit of "Roll and Grab" is similar to Breaking Fist's animation. In the original teaser trailer of Weapon Taker, it showed that the concept of the Roll and Grab combo was supposed to be rolling behind targets and slashing them.
