Amplify

Heavy Attack

• Shocks are 20% stronger for each Amp Charge on Blaster.

Block

• Activates a Shield, reducing incoming Damage by 6~15% while holding Block and for 0.2 seconds once released.
• Blaster’s Shield lasts 50% longer for each Amp Charge on him.

Signature Ability – Absorption Shield

Blaster’s Shielding system can be upgraded to absorb incoming energy attacks and repair damage. A similar upgrade was requested by his fellow Autobots for their audio receptors as an answer to his taste in music.

While Shielded

• Blaster’s Shield allows him to shrug off the impact of Basic Energy Ranged Attacks and reduces a further 20% of incoming Energy Damage. Additionally Energy Attacks that hit Blaster while his Shielding is up have a 40% chance to instantly Repair Blaster for 7~17% of the opponent’s Attack Rating, if the attack is a Special Attack he repairs double that amount instead.

Special Attacks:

Special 1 – Amped

Turn up the volume, start the beats.

• Blaster gains up to 2 additional Amp Charge(s).
• 60% chance to grant a Power Gain Buff, generating 30% of Max Power over 10 seconds.

Special 2 – Steeljaw

Blasters speakers won’t be the only thing roaring.

• 100% chance to inflict Interference, lowering Ranged Damage by 15~30% and decreasing projectile speed for 20 seconds.
• 7% Chance for each Amp Charge on Blaster to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds.

Special 3 – Boom Boxers

The hits just keep on coming.

• 100% chance to inflict an Attack Debuff reducing the Opponent’s Attack Rating by 10% for 20 seconds. Blaster then inflicts an additional Attack Debuff for each Amp Charge on him.

• Shockwave generates 1~3 Energy Charges at the start of the fight and every 25 seconds.

Incoming – Brain Gain – Shockwave

• 25% Increase to Attack against Demolition Bots. Shockwave only gets this benefit if all bots on his team have this synergy.

Strong Match-ups:

• Galvatron – Galvatron greatly relies on his Ranged Damage, something Blaster is an expert at reducing.
• Soundwave – Blaster is able to Repair himself with his own Reflected Projectiles. Let the Rivalry Begin.

Weak Match-ups:

• Bumblebee GS – The little gold speedster will break through Blaster’s Shielding, inflicting Shock damage on him everytime he blocks.
• Bludgeon – This tanky warrior does not use energy projectiles and will not allow Blaster to Repair when struck by his projectiles.

Recommended Modules for Blaster:

Laser Guidance Module

• This module will greatly increase Blaster’s Ranged Damage and Speed, a perfect fit for a bot that can do the inverse to his opponent.

Repair Module

• The Repair Module will add to the constant Repairs he gets with his Signature Ability unlocked.
