Deadly Raid

From Elwiki
[Special Active]
Raven engulfs his arm in flames and punches the target. Depending on how many overheat stacks you charged, the number of punches will vary.
This skill has 3 overheat stacks. Overheating will allow Raven to punch the target 1 more time for each time you overheat. However, each overheat stack will also proportionally increase the damage to yourself.

Tips and Details

  • Only Punches that chained with Overheat Impact will receive Overheat Bonus (+10)%.
  • When using the skill without overheating, it is possible to chain with another skill before the opponent is knocked down.
  • Because of the increasing overheat penalties for each extra punch, Deadly Raid has the most severe overheat damage of any of Weapon Taker and Veteran Commander's skills and combos (when used at full power). As such, Deadly Raid does an exceptional amount of damage for a 100 MP skill, but is risky in situations where you can't heal, like PVP.
    • This can be bypassed by having the Shadow Technique of Mercenary - Victory passive, easily making it the strongest 100MP skill in the game.
    • At level 8 (current KR max) and with max overheat stacks, it deals absurd 7206% total damage, which is more than most 300 MP skills post-ST revamp.
      • The current max damage is also higher than the pre-ST revamp maximum, which was around ~4.2k% total.
      • However, it may still be mana broken in PvP, unlike Harpoon Spear; as such, it might be more advantageous in PvE.
