Blast Shower

The **Blast Shower** is an equipment added in the *Skills 2.0 Update*.

When activated, it removes any and all negative status effects from the user. This includes, but is not limited to, the frozen effect from  Elite explosions, the  from  Elites, the  applied by explosive pots and , and even the  applied by  Elites.

The Blast Shower also destroys all projectiles in a very small radius around the player, with emphasis on "very small." Removing incoming projectiles is very difficult, but it reliably clears bombs attached to the player by  Elite attacks.

## Notes

* *cannot* be removed with the Blast Shower, as they are stored in the player's inventory and are not actually a status effect.

* The acid pools left behind by , the fire fields from , and Malachite spike pits are all technically projectiles and as such can be removed by the Blast Shower if the player is standing on them.

* Counterintuitively, the Null Safe Zone barrier effect of the  is considered a debuff and is removed, though it is instantly reapplied while inside an active vent. This only results in the player's screen changing color very briefly. This is no longer possible as of the Survivors of the Void Update, due to the Null Safe Zone effect being replaced with .

* The Blast Shower only cleanses *timed* debuffs and thus does *not* cleanse  and  (from   Eclipse 8).

* The Blast Shower does *not* reset the out-of-combat timer. This means that the regeneration from , shields (including from ,  and ), and the  armor buff will not be regenerated when the Blast Shower is used.

## Tips

* The 10 second cooldown of  and  is tracked using the stacking  buff, and when all stacks are removed the Bands are . This means that activating the Blast Shower instantly recharges the Bands, making it surprisingly powerful when combined with a ,  and/or a .
	+ 20 Gestures will reduce the Blast Shower's cooldown to less than 0.5s, which is lower than the minimum cooldown of all skills. Cooldown recovery beyond this will only be beneficial when using items that can activate the Bands, such as .
	+ The cooldown buffs  and  function similarly. Continually resetting the cooldown for  removes the need for stacking the item and allows for higher uptime on damage blocking, to the point of near-invulnerability if enough  are stacked.
* Similarly, the Blast Shower recharges . Although it might seem the items' effects are overlapping and redundant, the Blast Shower can be useful to negate debuffs received while the Raincoat is on cooldown, and to bring its protection back again to defend against more.
* The Beetle' Queen's flying beetles repeatedly inflict  on players nearby, and the  solar flare attack continuously inflicts  and in a large area. When suffering from these debuffs, the player should make sure to move out of these attacks' areas of effect *before* using the Blast Shower, or else the debuffs will be immediately reapplied and waste the equipment's charge.
	+ The Blast Shower is similarly unhelpful for removing the inflicted by the Pillar of Design's repeated shockwaves.
* There are several telegraphed attacks that can be cleansed with Blast Shower's ability to destroy projectiles such as the pools caused by Lunar Chimera (Exploder) and Beetle Queen, the ground attacks of Solus Control Unit, Alloy Worship Unit, Stone Titan, and Clay Apothecary, and the rotating attack used by phase 3 Mithrix
	+ In order to properly cleanse these attacks, it is important to stand at the center of the attack, making the pools caused by Lunar Chimera (Exploder) and Beetle Queen less practical to cleanse.
		- Following this logic, it is possible to cleanse the entire rotating attack used by phase 3 Mithrix with only 4 fuel cells by standing at the intersection of all the pillars and activating Blast Shower's effect whenever the pillar's appear.
