Overview

Blasters use a specialized arm cannon to deal heavy damage to their enemies. They have a unique combo system that requires players to press different buttons in a specific order to execute powerful attacks. The combo system is designed to reward players who can master it with increased damage and speed.

In terms of playstyle, Blasters are a hybrid class that can function as both ranged and melee fighters. They are also very mobile, able to quickly move around the battlefield to avoid attacks and close the gap with enemies.

Overall, Blasters are a challenging class to master but can deal a significant amount of damage if played correctly. They are a good choice for players who enjoy fast-paced combat and want to try something different from the typical melee or magic classes.
