Blackavar

The **Blackavar** is a mobile weapon in *Super Robot Wars: Eien*.

## Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Blackavar is one of several phantasmal mecha employed by Kuro. Its design basis is a mobile suit she once salvaged, the RX-124 Gundam TR-6［Groundsel］. Owing to the peculiarity of her eldritch powers, however, her incarnations of it are aetheric projections, and thus its systems and abilities bear little more than a cosmetic resemblance to the original. It thus lacks most internal equipment, such as the Groundsel's Z.E.R.O. System, and is classed as a Super Robot.

Standing twice as tall as her Yoryugo, it is often summoned for additional muscle against foes of superior size or numbers. In many cases, upon summoning it, Kuro will convert herself and the Yoryugo to aetheric form to fuse with the Blackavar. As it is fundamentally just a larger shell for her existing powers and abilities, the Blackavar includes many of the Yoryugo's attacks, such as the ability to deploy Space-time Convergence Cannons from its shoulders.

Like the original Groundsel, it is able to transform into a mobile armor mode, and deploy numerous beam weapons, though the energy of their beams is ultimately dark-aspected energy rather than minovsky and plasma. The arms are comprised of numerous jointed segments, and can extend to unnatural lengths. While the unit mounts a number of on-board weapons, additional arms can be summoned as necessary via voidal manifestations. In most cases, the majority are variations on her favored ballistics and polearms, conforming to Dragoon and Gunblade fighting styles.

## Armaments

#### Mounted

* 2x Vulcan

A pair of machinecannons mounted in the head, useful against smaller or more lightly armored targets.
* 2x Breast Vulcan

A pair of larger and more potent machinecannons mounted in the chest.
* 2x Razor Claw

A pair of folding solid blades mounted on each forearm.
#### Stored

* 2x Beam Saber

A pair of energy swords, each with a three-clawed emitter guard. Stored inside forearms. Can be used with power cables to boost output.
* 4x Beam Scythe

Two pairs of collapsible scythes, dockable into two double-ended scythes. Stored in skirt armor.
* 2x Heat Rod

Two collapsing heat whips, stored under the rear skirt.
#### Remote

* 9x Large Funnel

Remote weapons capable of all-range beam attacks. Stored on rear skirt.
#### Optional

* Decayed Particle Convergence Cannon (w/ Anti-Armor Bayonet)

A copy of the Yoryugo's rifle, scaled for the Blackavar.
* Minigun

A five-barrel underslung gatling gun with a high rate of fire. Mounts a bladed spike near the tip of each barrel, jointly producing a buzzsaw effect while firing to prevent interference.
## Standard Attacks

* Deadly Circle

*"Brutally swipe at nearby foes with your overcharged sabers."*
Attacking with both sabers in their cable-docked boosted state, executes a flurry of rapid rotational strikes, slashing and parrying with flicks of the wrist.
* Grave Punisher

*"Send a shockwave along the ground from your beam scythe."*
When making sweeping slashes through the air with the beam scythe, the motion launches a projectile beam blade at the target. Each blade strikes with a high degree of kinetic force, and thus are as likely to knock a foe down as actually cut through them.
* Sinister Spiral

*"Deftly manipulate your heat rod to perform a sequence of attacks."*
The Blackavar twirls a heat rod in front of itself, using the full length of the weapon to create a roughly 180 degree dome of grinding heat blade. Can be used to deflect incoming fire, or while charging into a foe to overwhelm them with cutting area. Often used after sweeping swings to help extend the weapon for maximum effect.
## Special Attacks

* Grim Reaper Slash

*"Embrace the power of darkness to pummel foes with your reaper's scythe."*
Engaging its full propulsive power, the Blackavar moves at blinding speeds, using its agility, twin scythes, and extending arms to rapidly attack from multiple conflicting vectors.
* Energy Bomber

*"Embrace the power of darkness to rain destruction on the world."*
Flaring an aura of darkness, the Blackavar locks in place while ~20 homing energy balls fire off from its periphery.

## Trivia

* Like other units in its design base, Blackavar is named for a character from *Watership Down* - in this case, the shred-eared rabbit who fought with Groundsel.
