Introduction
The Blitz is a medium robot with 4 light hardpoints. It is unofficially classified as a light robot based on wiki criteria.
Ability
The Blitz's ability is called Break-In. Upon activation, the Blitz fires 3 spread shots that decreases the damage dealt by weapons of enemy robots that are hit by 75% for 5 seconds, and the Blitz's speed is increased by 100% (110 km/h at top speed), as well as activating a temporary Aegis shield (does not regenerate while in use). The ability lasts for 9 seconds, with a 17-second cooldown.
Strategy
This robot is one of several robots capable of suppression, the others being the Rayker, Invader, Nightingale, and Cerberus. Once it activate its Break-In, the Blitz immediately fires 3 energy blasts (called buckshot) in a horizontal arc, and if it hits an opponent it will decrease their weapons' firepower by 75%. (Note: the energy blasts can be deflected by physical or Aegis shields). During the 9 seconds, Blitz has increased speed and activates an Aegis shield which allows it to block all incoming damage. A good strategy would be to use the Blitz as a hit-and-run style assassin or knife-fighter.
Since the Blitz lacks stealth and has a relatively weak Aegis shield, mobility within the 9 seconds is key. Suppression must be successfully inflicted upon the enemy to ensure that you won't take severe damage. Remember to dash back into cover as soon as possible after Suppression is inflicted, using the remainder of the Aegis shield as a temporary barrier to minimize damage taken.
Ensuring you aren't tracked down while your ability is reloading is an essential factor. It isn't recommended to fire at enemies with your ability down unless there is a huge brawl going on, which will minimize the chances of your enemy targeting you in particular. Otherwise, you probably want to reload your ability before rushing into a one-on-one duel.
Threat Measure
The combination of Aegis shield, suppression, and speed make the Blitz deadly, particularly against slower robots who don't have shields. With 4x Light Weapons, the Blitz can put out a lot of firepower. Gusts, Sparks, or Rimes are very effective at dealing high burst Damage Per Second (DPS) and compliment the Blitz's assassin tactics.
However, with the advent of the Pilot System, the Blitz was propelled to one of the top spots in the game, as Clive Vicious' Legendary Skill gave the Blitz an 90% Damage Resistance, which when coupled with Suppression had made the Blitz one of, if not THE best assassin in the game. But sadly the October 2020 balancing update, they brought down this resistance to 50%, making the Blitz much more vulnerable when attacking, especially Titans.
Possible Setups
These setups are recommended for the Blitz:
Note: Each slot type is filled with only one particular weapon. For example, if a robot has 3 light hardpoints, all three of those hardpoints should be filled with Pinatas, as mixing weapons of the same hardpoint type is not advisable.
However, utility weapons can be effectively mixed with standard weaponry, for example the Halo (a root weapon) could be used on one light slot, and a Gust on another. This is because weapons such as the Halo give up firepower for the utility of locking down enemies.
