Overview

Ragna the Bloodedge is a wanted criminal with an extraordinarily large bounty on his head (well in the trillions) for attempting to destroy the NOL, and is Jin and Saya's older brother. He is a playable character in all iterations of BlazBlue thus far and is the main protagonist of the series.

Drive: Soul Eater

Soul Eater allows Ragna to absorb a portion of the damage of certain attacks for his own health. This mechanic was to offset the very low health that Ragna has. Soul Eater works regardless of hit or block, but does not work against Barrier Guard. Soul Eater has another mechanic where different percentages are applied to different Soul Eater moves depending on where it was in the combo. For example, using 5D (100 drain) then D Inferno Divider (50*2 drain) will result in less lifesteal (192 drain) than with 5D's and D Inferno Divider's lifesteal base values added together (200 drain).

  • 1st Soul Eater hit = 100% lifesteal
  • 2nd Soul Eater hit = 90% lifesteal
  • 3rd Soul Eater hit = 95% lifesteal
  • 4th Soul Eater hit = 100% lifesteal

Each Soul Eater hit after this increases lifesteal by 5% until scaling reaches 150%. The following Soul Eater hit then increases lifesteal to 160%, and then to 180%. 180% is the maximum value.

Overdrive: Blood Kain IDEA

Ragna's Overdrive "Blood Kain IDEA" augments all of his Soul Eater moves. Not only do all of his Soul Eater moves have higher damage and steal more life from the opponent, but some also have different move properties and different hitboxes.

Pros/Strengths

  • Able to drain opponent's life and replace as own
  • Great footsies that can be hit confirmed easily
  • Becomes very versatile with 50% Heat
  • Solid okizeme setups, more so in the corner
  • Decent Heat Gain off most combos
  • Easy to pick up, easy to play character
  • One of the best DPs in the game
  • Overdrive greatly increases combo damage, versatility and lifesteal

Cons/Weaknesses

  • Few safe and reliable mix-up options make most offensive approaches easy to read
  • High risk, moderate reward
  • Many defensive options are unsafe
  • Tied for third lowest life in the game
  • Poor meterless damage output at maximum footsie range
  • Very weak character without 50% Heat, heavily relies on meter
  • Struggles against zoning gameplay, even with movement options
  • Highly encourages uncommon tactics to play well (may not be a con if you have the right mindset)

  • Lifesteal: 100

A very important combo staple move. 5D is used in almost literally every combo in Ragna's arsenal, but outside of this, 5D doesn't see much other use. The move is somewhat safe compared to past iterations, but only primarily because 5D lost its Dash Cancel. The pushback on 5D is large, so if used either at the end of a gatling or at certain spacings, you can expect to come out unscathed, despite its poor frame advantage.

In combos, 2D is very useful for optimizing damage with the use of 50 heat. As a footsie, 2D is Ragna's farthest reaching low, but its practicality as a footsie only applies to certain situations. For example, 2D can be used against Tager's Voltec Charge, Litchi's Straight Through, and Arakune's f-inverse on whiff. The hurtbox does not extend past the hitbox, so against supers that have long active frames, you can use 2D for a free, decent combo.

Great mix-up potential, but can be tricky to execute consistently.

  • Lifesteal: 100
  • Only cancelable to j.D
  • Frame advantage on landing during j.D: ??
  • Launches opponent into the air

Despite only being cancelable to j.D, 6D serves as one of Ragna's more ambiguous mix-up options. The special characteristics of j.D allow for a couple of mindgames, notably its incredibly short landing recovery. Overheads, lows, and throws can be performed from 6D, but it's sometimes tricky to be able to pull it off consistently.

The overhead is from j.D. There is absolutely no gap between 6D and j.D, no matter how late you perform j.D (unless you land before j.D comes out), so if you are close enough when 6D lands, the overhead is almost guaranteed. The only time j.D can whiff is when 6D hits too far away or the opponent barriers while slightly spaced away. Fortunately, you cannot be punished even if j.D does not hit, due to the frame advantage.

The low is performed slightly differently. To perform the low, use j.D just before landing, then input 2B. Be wary that because 2B has a 9 frame start-up, many characters' fastest moves are able to beat you out. Your best bet for landing 2B in this situation is to condition the opponent to block high after 6D (using j.D), and then surprising them with 2B.

Performing the throw is similar to performing the low, but it is riskier. To perform the low, use j.D just before landing, then input throw. The hitbox on throw is very small, so any sort of barrier or spacing will cause the throw to miss. You can utilize a kara throw (B~C) to gain a tiny bit of distance so that the throw will land. Overall, use the throw option scarcely.

  • Lifesteal: 100

Using j.D in combos is now a decision rather than a necessity. The high hitstun allows for larger combo versatility at later times in a combo, but the extremely low P2 will butcher the damage, which in turn also butchers the Heat Gain (as it is mostly reliant on damage values in Chrono Phantasma). However, the move has increased lifesteal from 30 to 100, making it useful to gain a bit of life and increase the Soul Eater rate. If you're going for damage, generally avoid this move when performing aerial combo routes. However, if you need some life gain, use as many j.D's as possible.

  • Ragna's Blood Scythe is a very slow grounded overhead (his slowest actually) that is new to CP/CPEX. Ragna will jump up and slice downwards with his sword's awakened form, a scythe, hence the name. While it has slow startup it actually is advantageous on block so it can be used to reset pressure (risky if expected) or for oki purposes (Do it after a knockdown if the opponent emergency techs, can be reversaled out of if expected).
  • The aerial version is both combo staple for advanced combos and a way to make/finish bread and butter combos midscreen. It will combo after 6A > 6D in most circumstances, and in OD it can be followed up with Hell's Fang or Carnage Scissors
  • Both versions will ground-bounce anywhere and steal 300 life, 450 in OD (Overdrive),but it's hard to combo into the grounded version.
  • It also has a property that only the D version of Inferno Divider shares with this move, it Fatal Counters. While this will never happen because of it's slow speed, if it DOES happen then react to it and followup with a damaging combo.
