Ragna the Bloodedge/Move List

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
Note: Damage figures in parentheses represent damage dealt during Blood Kain.

Normal Moves
Utilizing the power of the Azure Grimoire, Ragna strikes the opponent, then turns his sword into a scythe and slashes the opponent repeatedly, draining their soul almost entirely before disintegrating them with a final stab. Completely invincible start-up, but is slow to hit. Recovery is reasonably fast, difficult for close ranged characters to punish on block or whiff. Drains large amounts of health, albeit unnecessarily, on hit. Damage: 15*1000+1
 * Name=Black Onslaught
 * Input=2141236C

Basic Strategy
The underlying approach that should be taken with this character (e.g. keep-away, rushdown)

The basic approach for any Ragna player is to keep the pressure on the opponent and to maintain as little a range as possible between you and your opponent. Drive attacks are to be used liberally in order to offset the low health and to rack up serious damage. Hell's Fang and Gauntlet Hades are great ways to connect combos together.

Combos
List of common combos, starting with Bread-and-Butter combos, and ending with meter-blowing extravaganzas.

Note: j.C, j.D (JC), j.C, j.D is ideal off most setups (JC off a grounded launch, HJC off a mid-air launch), but depending on the combo, the second j.C often needs to be omitted. j.C, j.D (JC), j.D works in any situation that the prior one does, so it's the go-to air combo. After a mid-air 5C launch, you need to use j.B, j.C (JC), j.C, j.D instead. As is often the case, doing such against Rachel and Carl is another story entirely.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
