The Valefor is a fictional robot in the Super Robot Wars series. The Valefor was an enemy unit, but made playable later in Super Robot Wars Compact 3. This unit made a brief, playable appearance in the bonus segment of Super Robot Wars Original Generations, but it is fully playable once again in Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden.
The name of this units is taken from the names of demons: the Valefor is an alternate spelling of Valefar.
Appearance[]
The Valefor is an unusual mech, similar to the Ialdabaoth. Its color scheme is predominantly blue, however, with red highlights for the head, hands and feet. Instead of the Ialdabaoth's signature mane, the Valefor sports thick, red tendrils as its hair.
Technical And Historical[]
The Valefor is the personal 修羅神 ( Shurashin) of Shura warrior Fernando Ardauk. As a Shura God, it drains the life energy of anyone near its cockpit and turns it into its strength. The side effect of this system is that the user and any occupants will have his/her lifespan shortened. Fernando has used his Shura God numerous times, whenever he entered into combat, although he seemed unfazed in the long run at the hazards his machine can do.
Much like Axel Almer's Soulgain, the Valefor sports no visible weapons. Instead, it totally relies on energy manipulations and martial art techniques. A technology similar to the Direct Motion Link System, where the mech will move according to the pilot's physical movement, is implemented to these robots. What this device is called is unknown. Complimented with Fernando mastering the Machine God Fist (機神拳 Kishinken) fighting style (a fictional martial arts-like fighting style) which goes greatly with the machine, this makes the Valefor a rather fearsome machine.
Fernando would later be able to access this ability to "apotheosize" his machine, turning his Valefor into its true form, which adds a large amount of black to its color scheme and gives it a far more demonic appearance. In Compact 3, the Valefor evolved permanently, until its destruction, but in Original Generation Gaiden, it can only evolve temporarily, serving in the final attack of its original form.
Specifications[]
Weapon Systems:
- Machine God Fist (機神拳 Kishin Ken)
In Original Generations, the Valefor jumps to the back of its enemy and delivers a stunning backhand strike. It follows up with a flurry of kicks that eventually sends the enemy upwards. As the enemy falls down, it delivers a powerful punch that knocks the enemy away.
- Machine God Twin Impacts (機神双衝撃 Kishin Sō Shōgeki)
The Valefor gathers energy around its fists and punches forward, launching two dragon-like blasts that enter the target's armor before bursting out.
- Machine God Roaring Attack Fist (機神轟撃拳 Kishin Gōgeki Ken)
While powering itself up, the Valefor would perform a few arm gestures, with a wasteland background in the horizon, then dash with its whole body, now glowing with life energy from its pilot. It delivers a combination of punches and kicks, and eventually launches the enemy up to the air. The Valefor would follow up by jumping to the enemy and delivers a shattering kick to the opponent, while Fernando recites the name of the attack, with the Japanese kanji displayed on the screen.
- True Supreme Machine God Roaring Attack Fist (真覇機神轟撃拳 Shinha Kishin Gōgeki Ken) The strongest attack of the Valefor begins with the machine resonating directly with Fernando. In the process, the Valefor evolves into Shinka form, revealing its monstrous face, and summons a pair of energy-based dragons from its hands. These dragons blanket the area with their energies, trapping the target in a dark and shadowy, inescapable dome, leaving only it and the Valefor inside. The Shura God moves in and begins to pummel the enemy -- its movements too quick for the enemy to evade. When the initial melee barrage is over, the Valefor lets loose a final punch that sends its airborne target into oblivion, while Fernando recites the name of the attack.
