Overview

The Blaster is an offensive juggernaut. This hero can deal a ton of damage from either a distance or up-close, but he must be careful because he's somewhat fragile compared to other heroes. The Blaster can't stand toe to toe with most opponents for long. His best defense is a great offense!

Historical

Badge time.png This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.
  • Cold Mastery, Flame Mastery, Force Mastery, and Munitions Mastery were added to the game in Issue 3.
  • Archery, Sonic Attack and Electrical Mastery were added to the game in Issue 5.
  • Also in Issue 5, the Blaster inherent power Defiance was introduced to address some datamining concerns regarding Blasters being defeated just before they dispatch their enemies. The power granted the Blaster a ToHit and Damage buff that grew as the Blaster's hit points decreased.
  • Defiance was later changed to a new setup. Now, Blaster Primary and Secondary powers that are available at level 1 can be used even while mezzed, and most powers give the Blaster a temporary damage buff.
  • Psychic Blast and Mental Manipulation were proliferated to Blasters in Issue 12.
  • Radiation Blast was proliferated to Blasters in Issue 16.
