Raven Moveset and Abilities

Ground Attacks

Command	Move	Description	How to Use
Neutral (Neutral + Attack)	Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!	Effect: Charge A charged magical attack that grows in size based on charged.	This is Raven's iconic attack that lets you deal more damage and knockback depending on the length of your charge. You can use this to poke and keep enemies zoned out for a follow up attack either by you or your ally.
Side (Side (Hold) + Attack)	Shadow Flight	Raven quickly flies forward hitting enemies in front of her.	You can use this to close the distance or knock enemies back.
Side (Side + Attack)	Shadow Combo	Effect: Combo, Projectile A combo where Raven spawns several short-range projectiles, finishing with a large magical fist.	Use this to start any of your ground combo attacks.
Up (Up + Attack)	Telekinetic Barrage	Effect: Charge, Projectile Raven charges before throwing a large rock projectile into the air. The throw angle can be influenced forward or backward. The rock can be redirected by some of Raven's other attacks.	You can use this to set up an ally's combos or as a defensive tool to disrupt any any combos with the rock's descent.
Down (Down + Attack)	Back Off!	Effect: Knockback, Charge A magical tendril attack th at deals upward knockback to enemies both in front of and behind Raven.	Since this attack hits enemies both in front and behind Raven, this is great for setting up an aerial combo or to just launch an enemy in the air.
Neutral (Neutral + Special)	Soul-Self Projection	A short magical burst around Raven. If Lenore is in the area, the burst instead spawns around Lenore.	While you can use this to quickly get an enemy away from you, this move can also be used offensively to knock enemies in the air to begin a combo.
Side (Side + Special)	Quoth the Raven...	Effect: Heavy Projectile, Knockback Raven infuses some of her magic into her pet bird, Lenore, and unleashes the bird as a heavy projectile into the arena. Raven can release the special button to place Lenore and spawn a small detonation attack at Lenore's location. Lenore can be picked up by allies to transfer Raven's magic to her ally. If Lenore is idle in the arena, enemies can melee attack Lenore three times to remove her. While Lenore is within range, Raven can use this attack again to knockback all enemies in between Raven and Lenore. Placing Lenore applies a cooldown. While Lenore is on cooldown, Raven instead spawns a wisp that she can detonate at a location.	You can use this to zone out enemies from certain areas or just to keep pressure on them.
Up (Up + Special)	Gravity Well	Effect: Grab Raven spawns a magical orb above and in front of her, grabbing nearby enemies. Raven can throw any grabbed enemies forwards or backwards. If Lenore is in the arena, the magical orb instead spawns above and in front of Lenore.	This is great for catching enemies that like to jump around or to stop an enemy from moving around.
Down (Down + Special)	Soul-Self Shield	Effect: Projectile Shield Raven spawns a large projectile shield around herself. Raven can hold the special button to maintain the shield for longer, but she will take damage while she sustains the shield. Allies inside the shield are healed. If Lenore is in the arena, the projectile shield instead spawns around Lenore.	This is mainly used for blocking projectile attacks.

Raven's side attack is great for playing against opponents that like to play close as you can use this to start a combo or simply knock them away. Her side special summons her pet companion Lenore and can knock an opponent either towards or away from you. Her other special moves can interact with Lenore, giving you more pressure against opponents.

Aerial Attacks

Command	Move	Description	How to Use
Neutral (Neutral + Attack)	Protective Aura	Effect: Knockback Two magical orbs orbit around Raven dealing knockback.	This can be used when approaching enemies as you can combo into the attack's knock up.
Side (Side + Attack)	Shadow Tendrils	A magical tendril attack that hits multiple times in front of Raven.	This is best used to finish combos as the damage from the attack has great ringout potential.
Up (Up + Attack)	Shadow Whip	Effect: Charge A charged magical whip attack that hits directly above Raven.	This is best used to ringout enemies through the top of the screen.
Down (Down + Attack)	Shadow Swipe	A charged magical talon attack that hits below Raven.	This is another great move that can be used to start aerial combos or to ringout enemies to the side of the stage.
Neutral (Neutral + Special)	Soul-Self Projection	Same as ground.	Similar to the ground version, this can be used to knock enemies away.
Side (Side + Special)	Quoth the Raven...	Same as ground, but Raven will also fly forward in air after the attack has concluded.	You can use to fly towards an enemy. Just as with the ground version, you can direct Lenore during the attack.
Up (Up + Special)	Wings of Shadow	Effect: Knockback Raven creates magical wings and flies upward, dealing knockback to any nearby enemies. If Lenore is in the arena, the magical wings fly upwards from Lenore's location.	You can use this move to get enemies away from you or to ring them out from the top of the screen.
Down (Down + Special)	Soul-Self Shield	Same as ground.	Similar to ground, this lets you block any projectile attacks while also causing Raven to descend slowly.

Raven's neutral attack is perfect for starting air combos however this move will require some practice as the hitbox can be tricky. Her down attack is also a great move as you can use this to spike an opponent or ring them out when fighting outside of the stage.

Passive Abilities

Raven's passive basically buffs her entire kit, allowing her to move faster and hit harder. This boost increases the overall damage a player can inflict, giving them a chance to ring out an opponent quicker.

Raven Best Combos and Moves

Spike to Horizontal Ringout

This is a simple and easy combo you can use to build up damage while potentially ringing out enemies to the side of the screen. While the charge on your Neutral + Attack can depend on how much damage you need, Azarath is already suitable for knocking back enemies from the stage.

Aerial Combo to Grab Attack

This utilizes Raven's knockup moves and ends with her grab attack. This is great for setting up your ally as they can wait for the grab attack for an easy follow up.

How to Play Raven

Coordinate with Ally

Raven excels very well in team play due to the many knockbacks and knock up moves she has in her kit. While she has great ringout potential by herself, you can make your fights more efficient by setting up your ally with the many displacement moves she has at her disposal.

Use Lenore to Zone Enemies

Lenore is Raven's companion pet that also performs her Special attacks. Placing Lenore in key areas can make for unique combos due to the interaction Raven has with her. Just having Lenore out on the stage can already make a difference as your enemy will have to keep an eye on your bird while fighting you.
