Blade Assault – Weapons and Elements Guide

This guide will show you some of the most useful information about the weapons and elements in Blade Assault. At the same time, you will also be able to find some useful tips that you can use in the game, as well as the steps on how to get all Blade Assault achievements from هنا.

أسلحة

The Chainsaw

The chainsaw is like the tool you begin with, and it’s kind of in the middle between being fast and having good reach. When you use it, you jump forward while spinning and hit all the enemies in your way. الآن, let’s check out the special abilities you can pick:

• Fierce Attack: Your normal hit becomes faster, getting up to 12% faster at the highest level.
• Critical Combo: After using a special move and hitting an enemy, all your regular attacks have a higher chance of landing a critical hit for 7 ثواني, reaching 16% at the top level.
• Energy Drain: Whenever your regular hit scores a critical hit, you get a bonus of 20 extra energy.

The chainsaw is like the “Jack of all trades,” meaning it’s good at a bit of everything. It might not do as much damage early on compared to the axe, but it makes up for it with its ability to move around easily and handle different situations. I suggest you stick with the chainsaw when you’re still getting used to the game. لكن, أنت تعرف, it’s totally up to you.

The Axe

الآن, the axe is a heavy hitter, especially in the beginning. It deals a lot of damage, but it’s a bit slower, and you won’t be as quick on your feet. The special move it has is called Axe throw, where you throw the axe, and it bounces around, kind of like Thor’s hammer if you’ve played Hades and used the shield. الآن, let’s look at the special abilities for the axe:

• Concentrate: Makes your charged attack quicker by 1 second at the highest level and increases its damage by 100% when fully charged.
• Surging Strike: Each time your axe hits an enemy, your damage goes up by 30% at the top level. I’m not sure how long this boost lasts or how much you can stack it, as I’m not too familiar with using this weapon a lot.
• Giant Axe: The more health you have, the more damage your axe deals, reaching up to 15% of your maximum health at the highest level.

لذا, the axe is more for players who are good at timing their attacks. When you throw the axe, you can’t use normal attacks until it comes back, and the charged attack might not be that great if you can’t position yourself well to hit a bunch of enemies at once. لكن, despite these challenges, the axe is still a powerful weapon thanks to its high damage output.

The Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle (AR) is a good choice if you prefer keeping a safe distance from enemies. Its charged attack is a strong shot that can go through multiple enemies. The skill involves throwing projectiles, like grenades, أمامك, pushing you back from danger. Here are the passives available:

• Supply Energy: Every time you defeat an enemy, you gain more energy.
• Composed Fire: The farther away you are from your target, the more damage you deal, reaching up to 100% at the highest level.
• Frenzied Firing: Hitting an enemy with a skill boosts your attack and movement speed for 5 ثواني.

Please note that I haven’t maxed out the first and last passives yet, as I’m still getting the hang of this weapon.

الآن, let’s talk about the AR. It has its pros and cons. On one hand, it can deal a significant amount of damage per critical hit, sometimes reaching up to 3k. على الجانب الآخر, there are moments when your attacks don’t seem to connect, especially if the barrel is directly on top of the enemy. It’s not easy to say this is the absolute best weapon, considering you need to reload it (similar to the gun from Hades), and the gameplay might not be as engaging. Essentially, you stand at a distance and shoot at the enemies.

Elements

Sure, let me explain the three elements to you. الآن, there are three special powers that weapons can have, and we’ll talk about each one in detail. أولا, it’s important to know that each weapon has the potential to have these powers. To unlock them, you need to find an upgrade that looks like a diamond shape. This upgrade can come in different colors like orange, أصفر, or blue. Depending on the color, you might receive something called a weapons core for that specific element. This weapons core is what gives your weapon the ability to use the power of that element in both normal attacks and special skills. Understand so far? Great! Let’s keep moving forward.

Fire

Fire is the only type of damage in the game that causes damage over time, meaning it hurts the enemy continuously. There’s another item that can also cause damage over time, but it relies on chance, so it’s not as consistent.

There are some cool improvements for Fire that I can’t remember the names of, but here are a few:

• Make the damage you deal stronger.
• Boost the damage caused by the burning effect of your damage over time.
• Speed up the rate at which the damage is applied. Instead of once per second, it could happen every half-second, depending on how rare and powerful it is.

Other upgrades involve summoning tracking fireballs after using a skill, reducing the number of stacks needed to make enemies explode, and increasing the damage of that explosion (but this one is really hard to find).

The Hyper Core upgrade is interesting – it makes your character perform an uppercut that sets enemies on fire when it hits them.

ملحوظة: The dash ability doesn’t count here. Every element has its own dodge ability that does similar things but with different effects.

في رأيي, Fire is the most dependable element because its damage over time can be applied to any enemy, whether it’s a regular one, an elite, or a boss. I recommend sticking to Fire, but if you haven’t found one and you’re at stage 3 (like it happened to me once), then just grab any kind of core for now.

الجليد

Ice is one of the two elements in the game that can crowd control enemies, which means it can temporarily immobilize them. This is especially useful against non-boss enemies. Here are some upgrades that Ice can offer:

• Frost arrows that automatically target enemies after a few seconds (these can be upgraded into Frost javelins that pierce through enemies).
• Increased critical hit chance/damage against frozen enemies.
• Reduction in damage taken from enemies.
• A shield that activates when you get hit, absorbing a portion of your maximum health. The shield stays until it’s broken, but there’s a cooldown before it can appear again.

The Hyper Core upgrade transforms you into an ice statue. While frozen, you regenerate a portion of your health. After the duration ends, you explode out of the ice, freezing any nearby enemies. Keep in mind that this ability has a 2-minute cooldown, but it resets after completing each level.

Ice is particularly effective against elite enemies. If you have the increased critical hit bonus against frozen enemies, you can quickly eliminate them. Ice also enhances your durability, making you more resistant to damage. This is especially helpful when facing new enemies with unfamiliar attack patterns in different zones.

Lightning

Lightning, also known as electricity, is the other element capable of crowd controlling enemies while causing them to take increased damage when shocked. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, it generates electric bolts that jump to nearby enemies when you attack. Here are some of its upgrades:

1. Increased critical hit chance/damage for your weapon.
2. Energy regeneration.
3. Increased critical hit chance based on your current energy level.
4. More bounces for electric bolts.
5. The passive ability, humorously named “No u” (just kidding), where when you get hit, the attacking enemy gets struck by lightning.

The Hyper Core ability propels you into the air, slamming down and initiating a lightning storm that continues to strike enemies with bolts from the sky, following your movements.

Lightning is renowned as the best for clearing out additional small enemies (يشار إليها باسم “adds”) throughout the entire game. Its ability to shock enemies allows you to focus on more critical targets. The consistent critical hit bonus is excellent and doesn’t require enemies to be in a specific state to activate. لكن, similar to Ice, Lightning doesn’t shock bosses, which is a drawback.

If I were to rank them based on my preferences for weapon cores, it would be Fire as the top choice, followed by Lightning and then Ice. مع ذلك, you can choose any element that aligns with your playstyle and preferences.

Extra Tips

Let’s explore some tips that might help extend your runs in the game. Keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and there’s more than one way to play the game:

• Thieve’s Glove is quite beneficial, offering a 1.5% chance to provide extra gems when you strike an enemy. This can be a handy source of additional resources for your character.
• Don’t underestimate the power of Cheese. This epic item grants enemies a 1% chance to drop a piece of cheese, restoring 5 صحة. While this may seem minor, upgrading it a few times to provide 10 health per cheese can be decent and potentially save your runs.
• Embrace the Speed: Clearing stages swiftly is crucial. The faster you progress through levels, the slower the danger meter fills up. Being a fast and efficient player can help you manage the increasing difficulty.
• Invest in the Fast as ♥♥♥ Boi Strategy: The quicker you clear stages, the slower the danger meter accumulates. This approach can provide you with more control over the escalating challenges, allowing you to maintain a lower danger level.
• Support the Hacker: The hacker, even though the name is forgotten, can be a valuable ally. Consider giving him gems, especially in later stages of the run, as he can lower your danger level in exchange. This exchange may prove beneficial when you have surplus gems and need to alleviate the increasing difficulty.

يتذكر, these tips are just one player’s perspective, and finding a playstyle that suits you is essential. Adapt these suggestions based on your preferences and enjoy experimenting with different strategies to enhance your gaming experience.
