Here we go, the first official Blaster in the Weapon of the Day series!

I'll admit, until some serious experimenting, I didn't even think about Blasters as a viable weapon in general. But the best part about this weapon and blasters in general is that you don't necessarily need to know where your opponent is to splat your opponent. You can "aim in their general direction" or in the case of the Luna Blaster, "aim within 5 feet of them" and get two shots which will lead to a splat. Not to mention, this weapon class is the only "gun"-class weapon with a one-shot direct hit kill (assuming chargers are not gun-class weapons). Its range, while low, is deceptive; the pellet blast actually goes past the original range and can splat people slightly farther than the listed range. Additionally, the low fire rate leads to low inking ability, which makes this not the best weapon to bring into Turf Wars. Blasters I feel are perfect for certain game modes and certain roles; Tower Control and Rainmaker especially, where you can clear the tower with two shots, zone the rainmaker, and distract snipers at your own distance.

As for the kits, the Disruptor is perhaps one of the most powerful subweapons in the game. It essentially marks your opponent (if visible) for death; when they can't move, it makes them a sitting duck. You can direct shot your prey much more easily this way; or let your teammates take the kill as well. An ultimate jack-of-all-trades subweapon.

The special, the Killer Wail, lets you chase out foes who you cannot pressure through lack of range. On some maps, it's not as useful (Moray Towers) and on others, it's incredibly powerful (Camp Triggerfish, Port Mackerel).

Of the two blasters, this is the much more support-heavy and objective-friendly blaster.
