How to dominate with the "Underrated Powerhouse" Rapid Blaster

Awesome guide with good all around tips as well as specific tips (mostly these) for the Rapid Blaster. I don't agree at all with the posts that dismiss weapons and say they should never be used. This is a perfect post where the user has found a play style and gear that work for this kit and puts it to use. Very well done, thanks for the contribution.

Already got my Damage Up gear some time ago and I was looking for some other chances to use it beside chargers. Thanks to this guide I've bought Rapid Blaster (didn't even have it due to heavy hate) and I must say; it's pretty decent. Almost always 1st or 2nd place, gives great support in TC (clearing the tower, giving bubbles, wounding enemies) and quite nice ink coverage in SZ (it has got a fine ink pool) Also: people dont even expect Rapid Blasters, so it's always a surprise for your enemies. Will try to reach A ranks with it now, thanks and cheers! :)

Really good guide on the blaster family I love and don't see much people using. I haven't thought of the rapid blaster/deco as support before, but I do notice that I have been in the middle of the group or beside someone most of the time to get the full effect. Seeing as you have mentioned that these two weapons from the family are a support weapon, isn't using Damage Ups to kill enemies faster the opposite of what you mean?
