Iron Tager |

Overview
"Depending on someone to watch your back...doesn't feel bad at all"
Backstory
Sometimes also referred to as the "Red Devil", Tager is a cyborg and a member of Sector Seven that works directly under Kokonoe. He used to be a mercenary but ended up being gravely wounded during a battle in the Ikaruga War. Upon noticing Tager's compatibility with Kokonoe's experimental "Demon Cells," she retrieves his body from the battlefield and rebuilds him as a cyborg, with his original flesh becoming heavily mutated by the demon cells. Although his life was saved, Tager lost all memories of his past life as a side effect of the process, and now has decided to repay his debt to Kokonoe as her personal agent within Sector Seven.
Playstyle
Tager is a grappler character. He has slow and limited movement but by using a combination of his 5B (his old Sledge special) to cover ground, his Voltic Battler drive to pull his opponent towards him and solid fundamenetal movement, Tager can close the gap between him and his opponent. Once close, Tager has a number of command grabs that can either be very damaging on their own or which can lead to an even more damaging combo.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|
|
|
Drive: Voltic Battler
How Tager's drive functions has changed going in to BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. In the BlazBlue series, Tager could magnetize his opponents on hit or block with a drive move and certain special moves. He would then be able to pull his opponent towards using specific normals, specials and supers. In BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, the need to magnetize an opponent has been removed. Instead, specific Tager normals, specials and supers will now automatically pull the opponent towards him.
The following moves will pull the opponent towards Tager:
- j.B
- 2B
- 2nd and 3rd hit of 5A Smart Combo
- 3rd hit of 4A Smart Combo
- B Atomic Collider
- Wedge Catapult
- B and C Air Driver
- C Tager Driver
- Gadget Finger
- Magna Tech Wheel
- Genesic Emerald Tager Buster

Standard overhead. |
2A
2A | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Can be used as an anti-air, but more important is the fact that as of patch 1.5 Tager was given the ability to combo into 5A after this move assuming he hasn't used 5A earlier in a gatling. Use this to your advantage especially considering that you can combo into 2A from moves like 4A and even Sledge. Due to head invulnerability, you can try to get a counterhit with this move when an opponent tries to burst one of your combos on the ground, letting you afterwards juggle them with Sledge. |
2B
2B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rather slow to start and easily stuffed in neutral, but can be a decent pressure tool against blocking opponents. Useful in some juggle combos as it is chainable into Sledge, 2A, and 2C. |
2C
2C | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||

Decently quick and safe low poke. Special cancelable and chainable into Gadget Finger. |
j.A

Used in aerial combos, and can be used as an air to air. Has high frame advantage on hit and block against grounded opponents. j.B has two distinct hitboxes: a vertically large one where the magnetism effect is, and a vertically small one on his arms. Will generally whiff against crouchers up close, but not necessarily at max range. |

Because Tager's ground speed is incredibly slow, you really never want to try this outside of point blank range. |

Wedge Catapult
Wedge Catapult 214B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Has invulnerability and magnetism early in the move up to the point right before Tager grasps at this opponent. Be wary of very active moves as Tager is vulnerable for 1 frame before the grab hitbox is active. The damage scaling on this move is very good, allowing for some of Tager's most damaging combos upon a successful grab. While uncommon and largely impractical, it is also possible to combo grounded opponents directly into this grab via assists or counterhit 5AA and j.B. |

Gadget Finger

| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
As of 1.30 update, drops the opponent just inside 214A range with Tager at a small frame advantage. This is a very strong position for Tager where in order to avoid a properly timed command grab, the opponent must buffer a jump, reversal, or backdash. Keep in mind that you can actually catch jumpsquat frames with 4A timed as early as possible, but delayed slightly 4A can also catch most backdashes while still counterhitting mashed normals. You can also consider also using Active Switch to extend combos or for better positioning in your resets when using this to end Tager's combos. |
Extra Skills
Spark Bolt
Spark Bolt 236C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tager no longer needs to charge a separate resource and instead only consumes one Skill Gauge to use this move. Just like in other BlazBlue games, this will beat other normal projectiles easily. Also an important combo extender for Tager. |
Air Driver
Air Driver j.214C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The magnetism on this move is stronger than that of j.214B, making the move moderately more consistent at raw grabbing aerial opponents. Also of note is that this grab can be comboed into, which could be considered an option as an unburstable combo ender. |
Partner Skills
5P
5P Sledgehammer |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Useful in Cross Combos due to its relatively fast startup and cooldown. |
6P
6P Spark Bolt |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A highly situational assist. The extremely long startup makes it very easy to react to in neutral, but it can sometimes be uniquely advantageous in combos that have long forced animations. Unlike in other BlazBlue games, Tager's charging stance does not have protection of any kind, making him entirely vulnerable before the move activates. |
4P
4P Up Spark Bolt |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shallow angle combined with Spark Bolt's large size and very fast speed makes this a ok anti-air assist. Easily stuffed due to Tager's large frame |
Distortion Skills
Magna Tech Wheel
Magna Tech Wheel 236B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Followup only comes out in resonance/Cross combo. Can be used with short Distortion Skill Duos, allowing for partner combo extension. |
Genesic Emerald Tager Buster

You can be hit while extending the magnetism of this move, but this shouldn't be an issue when ending the round with a hit confirm. |
