Valvrave the Liberator - Mecha, Weapons, and Technology

[KleenexGhost]

I think VVV6 will either be support or another multi-range type unit.

Carmilla is categorized as "High Mobility All Range Combat" unit. That's what the wiki says at least.

[bones]

I don't know about that, in episode 6 those wheels of hers were able to produce something like lightning to completely destroy a number of missiles. I wonder if the wheels can do more than just destroy on impact.

Fast? Do u know how many times did Saki get hit by the enemy? Also speaking of fast, in ep 1 haruto show the true meaning of fast using Valvrave 1 "Light". While the 2 wheels is being deploy, it basically defenseless. I say Valvrave 3 need more weapon like some beam sword or some thing at least. As much as I like Saki, she really suck as a pilot.

[KleenexGhost]

Not only that, but her chakrams can be used at multiple ranges as well. The wiki says they can be used attack enemies all over the battlefield.

Not in term of fire power but in term of usefulness. So far Valvrave 4 and Saki's skill as a pilot does not impress me.

[Tokkan]

Every Valvrave has Variable Vulcans (the vulcans on their heads), Hand Rays (the hardened lights that come out of their hands for attacks and their feet for propulsion) and Fold Sickles (the scythe weapons, stored in the armpits).

You're making it sound like she was having trouble taking on the average Dorssian grunt instead of their elite soldiers who come up with rather effective strategies against the Valvraves.

its because she hasn't used its full potential but future saki did it created 5 after images at once the VVV4 is the only one capable of doing so and its because of those spines on its back but i do agree saki is currently the worst pilot of them but atleast we know she gets better

[KleenexGhost]

VVV4 has a lot of potential but right now Saki is still pretty green.

Nah, I'm talking about how much of a crap that is Valvrave 4 and it need of upgrade.

[bones]

It does seem like her Valvrave requires a higher level of skill than the others with the possible exception of the purple valvrave

I think it will be hard for her to improve when she is so depended on Haruto. Maybe I'm being a little too pessimistic on her, so hopefully she can improve.

[Nvis]

One of the Valvraves will have Bits/Funnels(as in than VVV4) for sure.

(Notices Purple Valvrave has a lot of that "Green" Nerve(?) all over its body.)

[Xion Valkyrie]

Hey, she has after images with MASS! That's some pretty h4x power right there. Plus we know from the time skip that she'll be quite formidable.

Another huge update covering ep 9 and 10, updated website, model kit manuals, novel and magazines.

1)VVV III and V debut and their weaponry; plus website, magazine and manual info for I and IV:

A)VVV III: Runs on a Mirror Rave Engine(as do all the other known VVVs except I) and uses specialized giant arms equipment, also has lightning properties. Excels in both short and long range, but lacks the mid range decisive factor.

-Armstronger Cannons split into 8 smaller arms each that combine flexibility and rigidity for physical power(can destroy Ideals with punches), the Cannons are also an amplification bypass device that use energy from the Mirror Rave Engine enabling long distance shelling(able to destroy Eisen Geist shields).
-Back weapon container holds the Dai Arms which have 4 types: Dai Alpha(Cutting), Dai Gamma(Piercing), Dai Beta (Sharpshooting ) and Dai Delta(Throwing or Defense); they can also fire weak energy shots(minus Alpha).
-Chain Saucers are energy sub-weapons on the shoulders that can use Solid Afterglow to fire disc shaped projectiles.

*I believe all its gimmicks are by now either shown or known, unless there are more Dai Arms on the interior side of the back weapon containers or the Armstronger Cannons have other crazy abilities like special shots.

B)VVV V: Defense type with extra armor all over its body. Has excessive defensive ability that can also protect allies but is limited to medium range attacks, thus lacking versatility.

-Bolt Phalanxes are the crossbow-like weapons mounted on the forearms that fires energy light bullets, there are 5 emitters on each extremity(each can fire at 2 angles at the same time) and 2 on the center of each Phalanx, totalizing 12 emitters on each forearm(the center ones are shown to fire charged shots able to destroy Eisen Geist shields and Walkit bridges). These bullets can be combined with Solid Afterglow to create high explosive fuse timed bullets that detonate on intervals after impact.
-IMP are the large shields made of Clear Fossil, the most durable armor material used on the construction of the VVV units. Further by coating its surface with special energy coating generated from the Mirror Rave Engine its defensive power is further enhanced covering all areas. IMP also significantly reduces the rate of increase in body heat generation when defending compared to all other VVV units.

*Definitely the most broken VVV unit so far, since its beam-spamming capabilities onscreen don't reflect the official profile poor attack versatility plus the IMP can tank easily even Dorrsia's most powerful weapon shown so far. The Bolt Phalanxes look erratic as hell regarding its abilities depicted onscreen and need to be better explained.

C)VVV IV: High Mobility type VVV unit with specialized equipment on the lumbar region.

-Its main weapons are the Spindle Knuckles stored on the shoulders that are fixed to the wrists during battle, with some skill, one can attack many enemies at once with it. They consist of a Spindle shaped wheel and 2 rollers on the Knuckle base part that launch the wheel by powering it up with high speed Rave energy, enabling rotational powered attacks like an yo-yo. After launching the Spindles the Knuckles can be used as a close range weapon.
-Multileg Spines are the special equipment on the back, in theirs idle configuration they are additional flexible and movable propulsion units, but when these new 6 extra legs are deployed in a irregular fashion they evoke the image of a human spider. In addition the tips of the Spines can be used as piercing weapons(like that VVV I ankle energy spike attack?) and they can create Solid Afterglow discs to allow more free maneuvers during space combat.

*Saki got the short end of the stick since all other VVVs are overpowered compared to hers. The Condemnation Mirage ability can make it more useful in the future.

D)VVV I's official English description(may be updated later): A humanoid weapon discovered in Module 77 of the JIOR Sphere. When its pilot was registered and authenticated, its white armor changed to black and it showed what the power concealed within it was capable of. The light given off by the unit has the unusual property of solidification (Solid Afterglow). Although the red-hued Unit 1 is equipped with the standard array of close-quarters / long-range / defensive armaments, this is a special standard that puts the power of humanoid weaponry on full display. Also it's confirmed to be the only with a special OS and the Hara-Kiri Blade is a way to cool the unit exclusive to it since it overheats more and faster than the other units due to the original Rave Engine. It is also implied to be discovered by Jior and not built from scratch. The Rune particles were discovered in it.

-Z EDGE: A close-quarters combat weapon modeled after a sword. The transparent blade hints at an unknown sword style, confirmed to be made of Clear Fossil . Long sword and short sword set. It cannot be continuously used as it can become quite hot and must be cooled in the Strike Brace special cooling mechanism(nice gimmick!).

-Strike Brace: This is a bracer-shaped defensive weapon, but the shape of the end gives off the clear intent to defeat the enemy. Can be used a shield or fixed to a part of the body. The sharp nails can be used in battle and are made of Clear Fossil. It gets hot quickly and is equipped with a cooling mechanism.

-Fold Sickle: Both are housed in the sides of the chest. Even if an enemy gets up close, it has a dagger lying in wait. They are very compact and the ma. Fold Sickles are a fixed armament common in all the machines. Don't appear to be made of Clear Fossil.

-Bladed Baiken: The chain sickle can extend using red chains. It can become somewhat smaller. It is weighted and expands to increase impact on the enemy.

-Meteor Blade: A rod-like weapon that is bladed on both ends. It can be expanded into the shape of a shuriken.

-Vurutoga: Weapons can be arranged together for carrying and arranged in different ways for different methods of attack.

-Volc Arm: An over-sized handgun. Valvrave wields even this weapon that looks like a massive, ungainly cannon with ease. The Volc Arm handgun can shoot light bullets or solid ammo and can be changed freely. Continued use will cause the cooling mechanism inside to need to be replaced. Spare bullets are kept inside the Strike Brace.

E)VLC Armor stands for V Liquid Crystal. Senses Nerve are high performance sensors and are apparently made of Clear Fossil as are the Solid Afterglow emitter on wrists and ankles. Requesting translation on those paragraphs of this novel page!

F)Finally some info on Dorrsia and ARUS mech and ships from GM DX 25

-Walkit class have attitude control boosters throughout the whole ship, main weapons are the large beam cannons on top of the hull. Can be equipped with siege class weapon called Superconducting Fluid Accelerator Cannon on the central hull, same place where are Waffe catapults.

-Confirmation on Custom variants of the Waffe for Ace Pilots.

http://imageshack.us/a/img18/9131/eiiv.jpg

-Official names for the Ideal weapon options: Large Cannon, Micromissile, Large Missile, Shield(the Unmanned Waffes?) and Machine Claw. Also we saw a new booster being equipped on ep 10 in place of the old hardpoint tail booster, gotta go fast. I believe the Large Cannon is on the first screen shot and the Large Missile on the second one bellow:

-Finally status and info the ARUS battleships. The larger one is called ARUS Flagship, total length 651m, width 273m, height 168m. There are attitude control ports at various places on the hull, a movable bridge is present in the middle. It has a large catapult, carries up to 30 aircraft. Armed with many torpedoes and missiles.

http://imageshack.us/a/img89/2749/vl...1217h25m06.png

-The medium one is called ARUS battleship, has a symmetrical appearance and 4 catapults. Has a landing deck on the rear and is equipped with many Splicers. Armed with beam cannons and missiles.

http://imageshack.us/a/img402/5846/v...1217h41m01.png

-SPLICER G TYPE also has guided bombs, is a 2 seater and its height is 6.5m. Z Type height is 9.5m

**Finally I won't bother translating official website mecha info since it'll appear soon the official English Aniplex site. I'll concentrate on magazine info(if different or additional to website), lineart discoveries, manual info and animation trivia.

-VVV II, the tank mysterious unit, is actually colored Silver+Gold and not not orange! Model number is RM-020. Cain is the pilot, not L-Elf as speculated. Apparently VVV units members are made of VLC, literally Vampire Liquid Crystal, through a simple process of just molding the VLC at will after activating the unit with an OS. VVV 2 appears to have large arms/claws.

-VVV VI weapons: Hummingbird(hacking staff that uses Solid Afterglow), unnamed razor claw(name cut in screenshot...) and its Special Equipment, the Shinrabansho, are actually the Senses Nerves appendages throughout its body.

-Ideals appear with another new option: a tail unit that houses a burning material used to heat special shields of the Unmanned Waffe units so to overheat the VVV units. Also the the escape pod needs to discard the top section of the head before jettisioning. From the novel: its blue energy shots are officially named beams.

*Now will wait this month's magazine lineart and the official site update.

[DuelGundam2099]

I should probably say that it is very nice to see your mecha analyses, gordol. Very thorough and informative.

[KleenexGhost]

When I went to Valvrave VI's page on the website, it listed it's specific tool as "Universe" pretty fitting considering what her weapon can do.

Note: I had Chrome auto-translate on.

So a hax/sword+1 type of weapon right?

Pretty much. It doesn't look as over-powered as Kyuuma's did when it made it's debut, but it has the potential to be.
