Sheldon's Introduction
As you can likely guess, the Rapid Blaster Deco is just a Rapid Blaster that's been, well, decorated! This version comes with Suction Bombs, which are great for forcing sneaky foes out into the open. And with the Bomb Rush special, you'll be able to toss those bombs to your heart's content! (NA)[a] |
Notes
“ | This weapon has lower damage output and impact size than most of the other blasters. But the combination of Suction Bombs and Bomb Rush presents some enticing offensive and defensive opportunities, allowing you to scatter these explosive devices over a wide area. Equip the Ink Saver (Sub) and Defense Up abilities and use Suction Bombs to keep opponents away from you. | ” |

Competitive Viability
The Rapid Deco is a rapid blaster, which is a big detriment. Rapid Blasters cannot get one hit kills, and despite the decent fire rate it is somewhat challenging to be used efficiently in competitive play. The Rapid Deco gets the nice advantage of having a better sub than the Rapid Blaster, but it does not get the Bubbler that the regular Rapid has. It still has a good special in suction Bomb Rush, meaning it can take back significant map control easily. Still, the Luna Blaster Neo does the same thing with its bomb rush, and it has a much stronger main weapon. The Rapid Deco is an okay weapon competitively, but it has not seen much use.
