The third patch of the Heroes of Maple update: BLASTER, has been released! This one contains the new Resistance warrior class Blaster, Act 1.5 of the blockbuster Heroes of Maple, and a few updates to the Maple Auction.

Here’s the world selection screen for this patch!

Resistance Warrior – Blaster

Blaster is the new Resistance warrior. They join Battle Mage, Wild Hunter, and Mechanic as part of the base Resistance, so they share the same creation.

When creating Resistance, two new hairs and faces have been added: the Rush hair and Militant face for males and the Silky hair and Cool face for females.

Blaster’s job instructor is Elex, who was hinted towards being the warrior instructor since the Resistance first came out.

Blaster uses a new two-handed weapon called the Gauntlet Revolver.

His secondary weapon is the Explosive Pill. He uses warrior equipment.

The Revolver has two types of resources, Bullets and the Cylinder Gauge. During melee combat, you can use the skill Revolving Cannon to fire cannon shots, consuming bullets (the circles).

Each time you do so, your Cylinder Gauge (top bar) will be charged up by 1. When it is full, you can unleash a devastating attack.

Blaster’s Character Card gives 1%/2%/3%/5% defense ignore.
