Main Choice suggestion : Demon Slayer or Blaster?

people in this thread are telling you to go blaster as “you can always improve,” but i advise the opposite. stick with slayer and keep blaster as a submain.

slayer is incredibly strong and has a near-overpowered bossing kit. you don’t have to be extremely good at the game to output your theoretical max dps, and you have more than enough survivability tools at your disposal. blaster, on the other hand, requires comboing. there’s no way around it. if you can’t learn how to combo effectively, you’re literally hard stuck and only doing literally 30-50% of what the class can do. 80k stat/50k stat players are hard stuck in low 60s and 50s for dojo, relying on gat and bullet to boost them with their poor NRL. in other words, if you can’t NRL/combo fast enough, you’re wasting all of the funding and time you put into the class. blaster’s survivability also 100% depends on comboing and being able to time your bob/weave releases to maneuver boss patterns, meaning macroing is a poor choice when end game bossing. (this problem is alleviated by overfunding, but you obviously cap out at a certain point.) blaster’s strength is similar to dual blade in that your damage output/contribution comes from near perma aggro on the boss, constantly dpsing when other classes would need to hop out to dodge patterns. if you cannot manage to do that, you’re wasting your time playing blaster and should main hero, slayer, or adele instead. they will 100% be more effective with the same gear/investment.

since you say you enjoy messing around on blaster and would like to learn how to combo, i would set it up as a CRA mule and continue practicing while you “main” your slayer. blaster is definitely a fresh way to play maple, but i think it’s honestly a waste unless you can reach near full potential of the class.

tldr: unless you’re good at blaster, main slayer. keep it as a sub mule and keep having fun practicing. since damage output is ridiculous if you get good, you don’t need to fund it as much.
