Introduction
The Raven is a medium robot with 2 medium and 2 light hardpoints. It is unofficially classified as a heavy robot based on wiki criteria.
Ability
The Raven has a unique Jump ability called Double Jump. The Raven can store two charges (each with a 18-second cooldown), giving the player a choice to either jump, land, then jump again, or use the second stored jump in mid-air. However, the user must wait for about two seconds after the first jump before the second jump is available. When using the jump in mid-air the player can choose the direction which can be very useful in dodging enemy fire. When the ability is activated the Raven gets +20% damage in firepower for 8 seconds.
Strategy
The Raven is similar to the Griffin due to its hardpoint layout and frame, however a key difference between the two is the Raven's Double Jump ability. The Double Jump gives the Raven a second jump making the bot very agile. The Raven can use a second jump in mid-air to dodge enemy fire or to return safely to cover or out of enemy weapons' range after engaging a target. The other difference between the Raven and the Griffin is the +20% boost to damage for 8 seconds once a jump is made, increasing firepower.
Due to the Raven’s boost in firepower when jumping, being on the offensive when jumping in or even out is key to maximizing damage output. Against another robot with the same or roughly same firepower, such as the Tyr or Hover, this 20% damage buff can make all the difference on who survives the engagement.
A Raven is quite tanky for having the same groundspeed as robots such as the Retribution robots. Thus, it is able to expose itself long enough to deal good damage to an enemy - for example, jumping up, exposing itself and unloading a Vortex-Aphid hit with the boosted damage. One of its most notable strategies is the "super-jump" - where you activate jump unit and the ability at the same time, being able to jump incredibly high and escaping a deadly situation.
Raven relies mostly on its sudden directional changes both midair and on the ground to evade damage. Thus, it is wise to not use both jump charges for movement, and instead should be used to change direction rapidly and strafe opponents midair.
Threat Measure
The Raven is good for hit-and-run or ambush tactics, but not for sustained close-range engagement. Because of the Double Jump ability some players use the Raven as a beacon capper since it can quickly move over a large area. The Raven is best equipped with, mid-range weapon loadouts, such as, Tulumbas / Pin or Spark / Scourge. The Raven is a moderate threat in mid-high leagues.
Possible Setups
Some effective setups for the Raven are:
Note: When "Opt." is next to a slot type, it refers to one of the multiple options that can be used in combination with the other weapon(s) slot type(s).
Each slot type is filled with only one particular weapon. For example, if a robot has 3 light all three of those slots are filled with Pinatas, as mixing weapons of the same slot type is not advisable.
