Overview

Naoto Kurogane is the main protagonist of the BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience novel series. He is gifted with the Hunter's Eye, an ability that allows him to see the life-force of living beings as a numerical value; his own life-force value hovered around 9,810 until he became Raquel Alucard's servant. He first appears as a playable character in BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

Drive: Bloodedge

Naoto's Drive allows him to attack with his own blood. His Drive attacks already possess long range, but Naoto can charge them to further increase said range and imbue them with Guard Break properties. At any point during the charge, Naoto can perform a dash to cancel it.

Unique Ability: Enhancer

Naoto also possesses an unique ability: if he performs his special moves or Distortion Drives while he is dashing, these will be given new properties (e.g. more hits).

Overdrive: Blood Repulsor

Naoto's Drive attacks take less time to charge, and his Enhancer ability will be powered up. Additionally, his hair and eyes will turn white and red, respectively.

Pros/Strengths

• Strong and consistent damage output
• Very good corner carry and side-swap opportunities
• Good mobility with a fast dash speed
• Good pressure tools with a decent overhead that leads to damage anywhere, strong cross-up potential, and good normals
• Solid defensive options with a great DP, a great reversal super and a great anti-air.

Cons/Weaknesses

• Short range outside of Drive attacks and Divine Smasher
• Neutral game can be challenging, as he lacks a projectile, and thus can be zoned out easily
• Optimal combos require a lot of micro-dashes and dash-canceling, so he requires high execution
• Fatal counters are a joke
