It also allows him to sense others around him to some degree, rendering his ability useful in some ways. It's useful for hunting down others in combat that got away from the fact he senses others.
==Skills==
===Enhanced Swordsmanship===
Raider's main skill is his sword skills. He was able to almost master the ways of the sword, and became as skilled as Metal the Rogue. Due to training in the ways of using the sword, Raider was able to become highly skilled in the art of swordmanship. Raider is known to be talented in using the legendary sword, Ragnell as he has alot of training in using it. He is known to be able to use other swords but prefers to stick to his Ragnell for fights.
Raider is known to have a different fighting style in his combat, as he's more strength based, than speed based. This allows him to make strong slashes and strong but slow stabs, making up for the weaknesses in speed. Because of Raider's strength, Raider is known to be a strong in combat with a blade.
===Expert Axesman===
Another skill Raider has is experience in using axes. Along with his own blade, he carries a small axe with him. Aside from mundane purposes like chopping down trees or hooking onto walls or rock, he can also use his axe as a backup weapon in emergencies when his own blade can't be used for whatever reason.
His training with the axe is different in comparison to his sword - instead of focusing on strong, slow attacks, his axe skills go for speedy, weak strikes so as to chip away at his foe's defenses. A tedious tactic, but it proves effective.
==Weaknesses==
Raider may be a walking tank, but possesses many weaknesses. One of his many weaknesses is his Environmental Adaptation, if in the wrong environment and he is struck by something he's not immune to, it can do some serious damage. Another is his sword skills, due to the fact he has strong slow strikes, one can easily overpower him by slicing at him quickly, or by long range combat. While using his sword or axe or unarmed, he is very vulnerable to elemental techniques, and close combat techniques that disarm him of his weapons. Raider has no elemental resistance apart from his abilities while in certain environments. Users with faster speed, can easily overpower him so he can't fight back, the same.
