Blast Man

In Mega Man 11, Blast man is a relatively simple boss fight. In Gondola, however, Blast Man is an extremely ferocious and wild pick class who relies on his mobility and tactics to outwit and eventually out damage his foes. With a variety of movement options and one primary gimmick, Blast Man is a class who rewards good aim and a steady hand, but also a keen eye. A Blast Man who can isolate and confirm a target's kill is an incredibly dangerous one. If you like:

-Extremely high burst damage

-Walljumps that synergize with other movement options

-Target isolation

Blast Man's your class!

Overview
At 90 HP with .92 movement speed, Blast Man is a very quick class. This is corroberated with Blast Man having access to wall jumps, allowing him to scale most areas with ease. Another thing of note is tagging enemies with mainfire will fill up Blast Man's Excitement Meter. At any point, as long as you have ammo in the meter, hitting reload will activate Blast Man's Power Gear.

Main
Sticky Bomb

Sticky Bomb is Blast Man's primary fire, and it shoots out a single, slow moving bomb that will attach itself to any target it sticks on, including players. If you successfully hit a player, this will fill Blast Man's excitement meter. It deals 8 damage on first contact, and then begins counting down with a loud and noticeable beeping noise. After a specific amount of time, the bomb will detonate, dealing an additional 3 damage for a combined total of 11 damage. This takes one ammo from your ammo gauge.

Alt
Bomb Spread

Bomb Spread is Blast Man's alternate fire, and sends out a spread of 5 bombs that each do an identical 7 damage each. This also consumes one ammo. This also fills Blast Man's excitement meter, but each bomb only fills a fifth of what a single Sticky Bomb would.

Item
Blast Jump

Blast Jump is Blast Man's item, which will forcefully launch him in whichever direction you're holding down on the movement keys. Use this for an instant mix-up in the air, throwing off opponents long enough for you to hopefully tag them with a bomb or two. This has a somewhat long cooldown after being used.

Reload
Power Gear

Power Gear is Blast Man's reload, and his primary method of dealing damage. Upon activation, there will be a slight delay before you can fire, but Blast Man's sticky bombs will be replaced with stronger versions of themselves, and now have a larger and slightly longer explosion, and they will now explode upon hitting a surface or a player. There's much more than meets the eye with this, however.If an opponent has some of your REGULAR sticky bombs that were shot before you activated your Power Gear, if you can hit the opponent, EVERY STICKY BOMB ON THEM WILL USE THE POWER GEARED EXPLOSION, meaning that you can deal massive damage to players if you have a with a steady hand and keen eye.

Basic Tips & Strategy
Smack an enemy with 2 or 3 bombs, run, smack someone else, then Power Gear them to death. Use altfire at close range.
