Anybody else absolutely love the Blaster line of weapons?
I feel like Megaman rocking these things. Three energy bullets on screen with a big charged shot and each variant has knockback, which works great for the zoning, keep-away playstyle of a pure Gunslinger.

I rock all three of the specialized ones, Breach, Fusion, and Umbral Blaster, have yet to make them 5* because they'd be weaker in damage and CTR until level 10, but so far I'm not disappointed. They're not the absolute best, but they're effective against everything, and safe and easy to use.

Anybody else use any of these?

I hate the original Blaster but I like the elemental Shadow and piercing variants when they finally came out with them. That said even though they look cool I don't find them as useful as other guns

I didn't go for any yet, though im planning on making the Valiance. I also want the Arcana after getting rather disappointed in how weak the Peacemaker was compared to it

How about the elemental one, Arcana?
I did say Elemental didn't I

Which is precisely why I asked you if you liked it or not, didn't I?

I literally said

I got all four blaster lines, all except one at fully heated 5*, some even with quite impressive UVs (check my profile showcase).
overall, easy to use and safe. charge attack is unimpressive but also easy to use and safe.
riftlocker is great against fiend, so much better than the piercing antigua that I actually vendored my 4* one.
arcana is nice, but after using it and AP for a while, I do like AP a little bit more for pure undead/construct fights.
umbral blaster is good, but against slime and gremlin I much prefer my obsidian carbine.
valiance is absolutely unimpressive and I regret making it, or at least I would if tortodrones didnt exist, one of the few cases where it is actually slightly good. oh wait, I am done with that event.

I never said that.
He litterally mentiones he likes the Elemental, Shadow, and Piercing ones. Those are, respectively, Arcana, Phantomos, and Riftlocker. So he did mention the Arcana, just not by name.

Oh wow, he did. My bad. This whole time I thought he didn't, I missed it because it wasn't capitalized.

Apologies, I really slipped on a banana peel there.

That's what I thought hahaha, glad I could help to clear it up. I love how in this community people actually admit when they are mistaken. It's part of the reason I keep coming back to the game.

Something rare to see on the internet.

I still like the Normal variant of Blasters though, as a sidearm for Sword loadouts. It's my 4th weapon on my Swordmaster build, alongside DA, Acheron, and BBT. Others don't seem to like it though.

I just left it at 4* though, 4* lv10 does more damage than 5* Lv5. I'll only upgrade an item to 5* if it significantly alters the weapon in some way, such as its charge attack, or an Alchemers richochet bullets.

I just prefer to swap out weapons for more fitting ones for a lvl. you never need more than two damage types, so there is always some space.

on the whole misunderstanding thing, you might want to delete those posts exept for the admittance one, to make this thread a little tighter.

I like it, but I like the Iron Slug better as a Normal damage sidearm because of the different playstyle. That, or one of the Antiguas, for their ability to quickly clear away blocks.

I do the same thing

I'm hoping the next new gun to be released is an Elemental Autogun.

A Piercing Alchemer would be nice too.
