Combat Overview
Blasters excel at dealing area damage to clustered enemies. Look for chokepoints and groups to maximize splash damage.
The reload time on blasters can leave you vulnerable. Retreat to cover or switch to a melee weapon between shots.
Blasters are particularly effective against large enemies and boss targets where their high per-shot damage shines.
Consider pairing a blaster with mobility skills to reposition between shots and maintain distance from aggressive enemies.
Enhancement
10 of 11 blasters can be enhanced from +0 to +10 through the refining system. Each enhancement level increases the weapon's Attack stat. Higher enhancements require rarer materials, including Bloodstone, Scolecite Ore, and Abyss Artifacts. Some blasters cannot be enhanced beyond their base level.
