Sheldon’s Notes

The Blaster main in this set is a relative of the Shooter family, but it fires balls of ink that explode in midair. It’s a bit lacking in the range and fire-rate departments, but when it hits…it HITS. Even near misses deal damage, thanks to the ink explosion. Pin the enemy down with the Toxic Mist sub, then hit ’em like BLAM! If they escape the mist, drop the hammer on ’em with the Splashdown. This high-octane set is perfect for battlers who like to bring it on!

Tips

  • This weapon fires grenade munitions that spread ink over a wide area—aim high and watch it rain! Quickly ink Splat Zones, or lob ink over walls and onto elevated platforms.
  • Despite its low rate of fire, the Blaster consumes ink quickly. Use Ink Saver (Main) to keep your Ink Tank from running dry.
  • Deploy Toxic Mist on ramps and in other chokepoints to hinder enemy movement. This is also a good way to lose a pursuer if you’re being chased.
