|content= Azrael is a character known and feared for his ability to do highly damaging combos with the help of his drive in the BlazBlue series and the same holds true for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.


''"Don't get in my way. I'm fine with taking all 3 of you up together"''
Although Azrael excels in dealing a lot of damage once he gets hits, he has more difficulties navigating neutral than other characters. Azrael lacks a traditional run, instead using a teleport dash that moves him forward a fixed distance with some vulnerable recovery at its end. His airdash also covers a below-average distance. This can make approaching an opponent and precisely spacing your pokes and jump ins difficult. In order to close the gap between your opponent, you'll need to make smart use of his specials, unique movement options, and his Partner to enforce his gameplan.

===Backstory===
{{BBTag/Infobox
 
| fastestAttack = [[#4A|4A]] (6F)
More commonly known as the "Mad Dog", Azrael is a man with tremendous strength that defies all logic. Bloodthirsty and only interested in fighting strong opponents, Azrael once worked as a mercenary going from battlefield to battlefield and wherever he appeared, it was guaranteed that there would be no survivors. Eventually, Azrael is sealed away by Sector Seven, thanks to the efforts of Kokonoe and Tager. However, during the events of BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma, Sector Seven releases Azrael and puts a special collar on him before sending him to Ikaruga with the task of retrieving the Azure Grimoire.

Although Azrael excels in dealing a lot of damage once he gets hits, his neutral can be more difficult than other characters. Azrael dash is teleport dash that moves him forward a fixed distance that has some vulnerable recovery at its end. This can make approaching an opponent and precisely spacing your pokes and jump ins difficult. In order to close the gap between your opponent, you'll need to smartly use a combination of his movement options, Gustaf, Growler+Phalanx and Partner Skills.

In the BlazBlue series, Azrael could 'mark' the opponent with a weakpoint with certain attacks. Hitting this mark would trigger the weakpoint and enhance the attack.

Requesting backup!

The BBTag wiki has major gaps in information. The game has gone through numerous significant changes since its release. As a result, many BBTag pages on Dustloop Wiki are out of date or lacking important information.

We need your help expanding the content for this game. If you have knowledge to share, or know people who can help, please contribute to the wiki by editing sections where you can.

Overview

Azrael is a character known and feared for his ability to do highly damaging combos with the help of his drive in the BlazBlue series and the same holds true for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.

Although Azrael excels in dealing a lot of damage once he gets hits, he has more difficulties navigating neutral than other characters. Azrael lacks a traditional run, instead using a teleport dash that moves him forward a fixed distance with some vulnerable recovery at its end. His airdash also covers a below-average distance. This can make approaching an opponent and precisely spacing your pokes and jump ins difficult. In order to close the gap between your opponent, you'll need to make smart use of his specials, unique movement options, and his Partner to enforce his gameplan.

 Azrael

Pros
Cons
  • Above average amount of health.
  • Can deal great solo damage with amazing corner carry at the cost of one meter with Valiant Charger.
  • Has unique teleporting dashes which can be used to either escape or apply pressure.
  • Has an anti-projectile move in Growler Field, which is also available as an assist.
  • Large body, slow walkspeed.
  • Maneuvering in neutral can be awkward due to his unique movement options.
  • Lacks a fast-hitting low.
  • Weakpoints progressively become harder to trigger the more they are used in a combo.


Drive: The Terror

In the BlazBlue series, Azrael could 'mark' the opponent with a weakpoint with certain attacks. Hitting this mark would trigger the weakpoint and enhance the attack.

This has been adapted for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle by having certain attacks gain enhanced properties by timing a button press right when said attack hits opponent. These attacks will gain enhanced properties like more damage, more stun, or followup attacks that allow Azrael to extend his combos in different ways than usual.

The following moves have the option to press the input again for a followup:

  • 5AAAA
  • 5BB
  • 2A
  • 2C
  • j.B
  • Valiant Crash
  • Hornet Bunker

  • 5A is a fast normal, great hitbox, hits behind, can be used as a semi-reliable AA against airdash.
    • Great for stagger pressure and can be jump cancelled for IAD j.A mix on block.
  • 5AA +0 OB means this can go back into 4A and frametrap lots of characters.
    • Good for bringing characters down for better grounded combos.
  • 5AAA leads into a high/low mix or even throw cancelled for another layer.
  • 5AAAA is a fastish (~20f) safe overhead.
    • Values in [] are for Weakpoint version

236C > 6 1
  • Values in [] are for Weakpoint version
  • Hits overhead
  • Obvious because of the blue flash and raised leg. Can be timed for weakpoint allowing for damage of Charged version.
  • Fully charging this move will cause it to become enhanced. Not very useful outsife niche situations.

236C:

  • Values in [] are for Weakpoint version

  • Air attacks can be airdash-cancelled, until you exceed 3 hits.
