Introduction

The Blaze is a close-range (up to 350 meters) light special weapon. 

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Special attribute allows penetration of both physical and energy barriers
• Mediocre damage when within range
• Short reload
• Extremely good at sustained combat

Cons

• 350m maximum range makes it hard to start fighting
• Mediocre projectile speed means it is easily evaded (though could be worse)
• Needs to empty entire clip in order to reload

Strategy

This flamethrower is the light version of the medium Igniter and heavy Ember.

The Blaze has 350 meters range, with a 5-second reload time and the ability to bypass all types of shielding (except Aegis and Absorber), and has a high DPS for a light weapon. However, a single Blaze mounted alone on a robot does not deal very major damage, so it is reccomended to pair it with Igniter and Ember, or with Magnum.

However, because the Blaze is based off the Ember and Igniter, they share the same weakness. These weapons are relatively ineffective against fast moving targets due to slow projectile speed. One of the pair's strengths is the ability to bypass all types of shielding, which makes this weapon effective against almost all robots (except Aegis/Absorber shield robots), with or without any form of shielding.

The Blaze can be paired up with an Ember or Igniter for a setup that deals large amounts of damage up close, regardless of whether the target is shielded or not. It can also be paired with the Redeemer(and potentially Taran, although Igniter is better in terms of damage) as they share the same range, reload and roughly unload time. Redeemer prevails in terms of damage and projectile speed, although there is a major drawback-it cannot pierce physical shields.

A unique trait of the Blaze can come in extremely useful-it does not have any effects when it hits an enemy robot or wall. This can potentially trick enemies out of cover as they think you've stopped firing, but the truth is you ARE actually firing, it's just there's no effects upon contact with the wall to show it.
