== 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.

On the road with the El Search Party, Raven finds another reason to fight. He keeps going to honor his comrades, the Crow Mercenaries. He makes adjustments to his Nasod arm and succeeds in giving it the ability to deal explosive hits. The more he uses it, the more powerful it becomes, and when the Nasod arm overheats, Raven unleashes a display of massive firepower.

Yet Raven poses a grave danger to himself, the longer he keeps using this modified, built-in weapon. The Weapon Taker walks the thin line between becoming a formidable fighting machine and causing his own inadvertent destruction.

[[File:Wtchanger.png|thumb|'''Weapon Taker''' can also be obtained by using the Cash Shop item: '''Weapon Taker's Revelation''']]

[[Raven]] is required to be Lv15 to begin his first class advancement.<br>  

After completing the Taker quest chain, [[Raven]] can decide between advancing as a [[Sword Taker]], [[Over Taker]] or a [[Weapon Taker]].

#Speak to [[Elder#Lenphad|Lenphad]] the Blacksmith of [[Elder]].

#Collect one Overheat Mechanism Blueprints from the William Phoru Boss in [[2-4]].

#Complete [[2-5]] in Normal Mode (☆) or higher.

#Collect one Mechanism Core from Wally 8th Boss in [[2-5]] in Very Hard Mode (☆☆☆).

At Lv35, a [[Weapon Taker]] can advance into a [[Veteran Commander]].

| '''Overheat barrage<br>(Will Overheat after 3rd X)'''

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.

|230% Mag. Damage → 150% Phy. Damage → 170% Mag. Damage → (Continuous X) 210% Mag. Damage

| [[Image:WtCombo2r.png]]

| '''Hit and Run'''

Raven attacks three times with his sword, then does a backstep, firing 1 shot with his arm and another shot, knocking targets down.

Where as, holding the directional button, he does a front roll pass his enemies and then grabs them with his arm.<br>

|100% Phy. Damage → 100% Phy. Damage → 150% Phy. Damage → (Backstep Shots) 230% Mag. Damage → 310% Mag. Damage or (Roll and Grab) 100% Phy. Damage → 200% Phy. Damage

| [[Image:WtCombo3.png]]  

| '''Aerial Fire'''

In midair, slash 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

|100% Phy. Damage → 210% Mag. Damage → 230% Mag. Damage

== Overheat  ==

<div style="float: right;">[[File:Raven_overheat.png]]</div>

[[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. Such skills include [[Revolver Cannon]], [[Harpoon Spear]], [[Giga Prominence]], [[Hellfire Gatling]], [[Deadly Raid]] and [[Ignition Crow]]. 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", you will glow red and the skill will be longer than usual. This will result in the loss of HP after using this system.<br>

*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.

*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.
