Anger of Raven
1. What is Raven's Anger/ Indignation?
While playing as Raven, once you go into awakening, a Nasod core will appear behind Raven. Whenever Awakening is activated for the first time, the Nasod core will appear automatically. This Nasod gives Raven two new abilities, as well as a cool looking accessory to him while Raven is in awakening.
2. How do I use Indignation?
The Nasod core is called out when Raven awakens. The core itself has two modes, Attack and Defend. The more Raven attacks in awakening, the more the Nasod core grows, and its effectiveness grows. The Nasod however, grows at a slower rate when Raven is hit.
If Raven uses an Active, like Weapon Breaker or Cut Tendon, or a Special Active, like Shockwave, the core will shape itself into a dark dagger, and pierces the enemy at a rapid speed. The Nasod core's attack power depends on its size and skill used, and will also ignore the enemy's defense. The core will not launch itself towards the opponents if Raven's Active / Special Active defeats the opponent first.
However, if you are standing on the ground and being attacked in front of you, the Nasod core will shape itself to form a covering shield, to reduce damage to you. However, this defending act reduces the Nasod core's size. If it's too small, the core will vanish (It will come back if you attack or receive attacks, however). You cannot move during the guarding animation, but you can Shadow Step out of it. In TW version, Raven can cancel the guarding animation by moving or using other skills.
You even receive a bonus when awakening time is over. Depending on core size, you receive an amount of HP and MP. You actually receive a tiny portion without the core even being present. Approximately 10% HP and 100MP is received when the core is at its biggest.
3. What does Lv3 Awakening do?
If Raven activates awakening on the 3rd orb (It is a flaming orb now), he will create a dense, small electric cloud around him, dealing semi-constant damage. The damage dealt from the cloud does not add to the knockdown counter, and does not stun. Raven will gain 5mp each spark. It's a great MP gainer as Raven passes through lots of mobs. The electric cloud deals damage every 2.5 seconds per opponent.
4. Tips and Details
- Blade Master's Bloody Accel should be used carefully during awakening. If the opponent survives the Nasod Core attack afterwards, the opponent will have time to escape or even counterattack.
- After 29/3/12 KR patch, the Nasod Core no longer launches.
- Lv 3 awaken should be used cautiously in 5-x boss fight, because if you are in the shock field mode and Hoakin debuffs you with the puppet debuff, you can shock your allies too.
- A bug occurs where you will still damage your allies even after the debuff is over. (Best wait for it to end before continuing fighting.)
