Blaster

Overview

The Blaster is an offensive juggernaut. Whether up close or afar, he can deal out tremendous amounts of damage. In comparison to the other archetypes, the Blaster is by far the most damaging to the enemy. But the Blaster is quite fragile; this archetype has relatively few hit points. Blaster heroes must be on their guard before getting into combat; while their immense power can overcome most foes, alone they are quite vulnerable. The Blaster can turn the tide of a conflict, but they need their friends to help them succeed.

The Blaster's powersets are:

Primary: Ranged
Secondary: Support
Inherent: Defiance

The Blaster has low hit points and high damage.
