Weaknesses

  • Has to max Hunter and Ranger Add-On Skills to deal maximum damage regardless of class skills
  • While easy to play, its maximum damage output is lacking compared to other classes
  • While it has a full toolkit for any situation, Photon Bow's damage is incredibly lacking outside of Brave Combat burst damage

Misconceptions

  • The most common misconception about the class is that it is "broken" or "overpowered" due to how easy it is to deal respectable damage from doing weapon action counters. While Braver was at one point above curve, this was back in 2022 when it had good matchups against the boss enemies introduced and many useful skills weren't locked behind main class. In modern content, Braver tends to lag behind other classes, and Braver has not been a serious contender for the #1 class in nearly a year.

Note that this does not make Braver a bad class by any stretch of the imagination, but it is far from "broken" as some may imply. While you absolutely can pick up a Katana and weapon action your way through an encounter, you are not going to be dealing "broken" damage, and in many encounters you won't even land your entire counterattack at all.
