Raven is initially sword-locked, but promotion fixes this by giving him axes and reliable 1-2 range, all he could ever want besides a mount. Since his bases are so high, it's not a bad idea to get him to promotion sooner rather than later so he can enjoy the benefits of axes earlier.

Raven's low luck, however, makes him somewhat susceptible to critical hits, thus limiting his effectiveness against swordmasters, berserkers, and units that wield killer weapons. Fortunatly, [[Mark#Tactician's bonus|tactician bonuses]] will mitigate this issue against most enemies. While Raven's constitution is suitable for wielding swords, at 8 (9 after promotion), this constitution prevents him from wielding many axes in the game without taking a speed penalty. However, this can be remedied with his high potential speed. Also, the axes he will wield the most, [[Iron Axe]]s and [[Hand Axe]]s, both have a low weight.

Raven's defense is mediocre but adequate for soaking physical hits in tandem with his high HP. His low resistance makes strong magic enemies dangerous, though, and he is easy prey for status staves. This will hold him back in chapters like [[Genesis]] and [[Cog of Destiny]]. [[Pure Water]]s and [[Barrier]] can help him, though.
