Description

It is one of the most powerful shooters in the game. It is a one-hit-kill but has a very slow firing rate. The Blaster comes in a set with the Disruptor and Killer Wail.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Blaster fires ink shots that explode a short while after they've been shot. It's specialised in offense! Rapid fire and range aren't its strong points, but the powerful shots can damage anyone within their blast! Use the indluced Disruptors to disable your foes before you take them down. Great for coolheaded fighters! (NA)[a] |
Notes
| “ | This weapon fires grenade-like munitions that spread ink over a wide area. The large area of effect on its blast is its core strength, allowing you to ink around corners and splat players who are trying to take cover. Despite its low rate of fire, the Blaster consumes ink quickly. Consider using the Ink Saver (Main) ability to keep your ink tank from running dry. | ” |

Recommended Abilities
Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).
Damage Up will increase the likelihood of splatting an opponent in one hit even if the shot from the Blaster isn't a direct hit.

Even Blasters can run out of ink when somebody least expects it- they run out of ink surprisingly fast. Equipping Ink Saver Main reduces the amount of ink per shot, so the ink tank won't run out as fast.

Ink Recovery Up fills the ink tank faster in squid form- great for blaster users, as they can spend less time refilling the tank and more time battling!

The Killer Wail is a very useful Special Weapon, and since Blasters are poor at inking turf, the special gauge can fill up quite slowly. Special Charge Up will increase the rate at which the special gauge fills.

Since mobility can always be a challenge, consider equipping Swim Speed Up to make fast escapes from advancing foes.
