Sword Taker

[A mercenary who focused on refining his swordsmanship skills]
He suppresses the power of his Nasod Arm and uses his blade to deliver slashes at extreme speed.

[Finishing Slash] A quick slash that pierces through the target. Use this skill to catch the enemy off guard.

[Shockwave - Divider] Use this skill to take out enemies that are gathered around in a small area. Can also be activated midair.

[Berserker Blade] Suddenly extends the length of the blade to slash the enemy. A useful skill with a relatively low MP cost.

[Hypersonic Stab] Use this skill on a powerful enemy. Very useful skill on multiple enemies.

Background

A swordsman that specializes on training his sword technique which helped him survive.

After he joins the El Search Party, Raven attaches a control unit on his arm and focuses on mastering his sword technique further so he doesn't get controlled by Nasod devices again.

By focusing on his unique sword technique from his mercenary days instead of brute strength coming from his Nasod Arm, he becomes the Sword Taker.

Trivia

• Sword Taker's Nasod Arm shows little change from its original appearance, gaining a few instance of additional plating, notably on the shoulder and backhand.
• Before the model revamp, the metal plates on Sword Taker's Nasod Arm were significantly more white. After the model revamp, it was changed to a much darker grey metallic color with more details.
  • The revamped artwork for Sword Taker still depicts his Nasod Arm with a whiter shade metal, though his current Nasod Arm is much more similar to base Raven's arm in terms of hue.
• Investigation of client data shows this class was initially called "Soul Taker".
