Assessment
Blitzer is fun! But perhaps not very practical at all times. Blizter sports a straight stream of bullet and a chain lightning gun.

Difficult agains bosses, as the overdrive sometimes fails with single targets. It still works against some bosses, with several turrets like Gunhead, or Rubble, but can be ineffective against e.g. Req Queen.

Best used against crowds and waves, and if it is at a level with both bosses and waves, you will likely need a good boss killing brobot. The chain lightning seems to be stronger the more enemies and targets there are. Some targets – perhaps electrical or stationary – seems unaffected by the lightning.

Also very good in long missions, as every killed enemy regenerates armor – this is very good in e.g. Arcade. A Level 80 Blizter has a armor of 1 373. 100 killed enemies is an almost full restoration of armor.
