Overview
"I'll show you, the power of the Azure!" | |
Lore: | The main character of the BlazBlue series. Ragna and his siblings, Jin and Saya lived peacefully being cared for by their guardian at a Church within the forest. One day, the man known as Yuuki Terumi would arrive and burn down the church and sever Ragna's right arm, kidnapping his sister in the process. Ragna is saved by Rachel Alucard when she gives him the Azure Grimoire (a.k.a the titular "BlazBlue") which replaced the arm that had been sliced off. Ragna swore vengeance and would start a one man crusade against the NOL to find Terumi using the Azure's power, becoming the most wanted criminal ever recorded in NOL history. |
Playstyle
Ragna the Bloodedge Ragna is a rushdown character. He has normals with good reach, specials to help with mix-up and pressure and a very reliable Reversal Action that can be a very good defensive option when used wisely. Ragna has all the tools needed to succeed but all these tools are driven by your fundamentals. Your Ragna will only get stronger the more you perfect your spacing, movement, how to vary your pressure and how to work in his reversal action into a defense with a strong base built on understanding of game systems and characters.
- Has one of the best Reversal Actions in the game. Reversal, anti-air, combo ender, and punish tool: You name it, Inferno Divider does it.
- Has good front-end damage, with or without meter.
- Has multiple dash cancels that can reset pressure and keep opponents close.
- Versatile combo toolkit allows him convert just about any hit into a full combo.
- Access to multiple mid-ranged high/low normals that can be done very late into a block string and can be followed up without needing assists.
- One of the safest anti-air normals in the game (5B) that can follow up easily into a combo. Also allows Ragna to Reverse Beat into 2A.
- Easy to find opportunities to insert Partner Skills for enhanced damage.
- Soul Eater attacks steals life on either hit or block as well as dealing chip damage.
- Has incredibly scary comeback potential with resonance due to his improved Soul Eater values
- Lacks full-screen projectiles. This makes him very susceptible to zoning and set-ups that can be done from full-screen.
- Lacks a projectile Partner Skill, forcing the point character to make risky plays to get close to the opponent.
- Sword normals are locked behind Smart Combos, making him vulnerable in trade situations against weapon wielding characters.
- Fantastic pressure is easily negated by well timed Reject Guards.
- Block strings are heavily dependent on proximity.
Drive: Soul Eater
In the original BlazBlue series, Ragna's Drive allowed him to steal some of his opponent's life whenever he connected with an attack involving the Drive button. These attacks would even restore life on block, dealing chip damage to the opponent in the process. Although there is no longer is a dedicated Drive button, this feature makes its return in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle in various moves of his.
Note: All lifesteal values are static and are not modified by proration or other factors. Enhanced versions of Distortion Skills are different to their regular counterparts and have their own separate values.
