Bloomer

ENERGY 25 KEY 1	Bloomer Fires a high-yield, remotely detonated explosive projectile capable of latching onto targets.	Strength:500 / 600 / 800 / 1000
		Duration:N/A
		Range:120 / 160 / 200 / 240 m

In Archwing missions, the Elytron fires a projectile with slight tracking capabilities that will attempt to home in on the closest enemy within range; otherwise, the projectile will travel unguided in the direction of the HUD's target reticle. The projectile is capable of latching onto solid objects, including enemies, and can be remotely detonated by pressing the ability key again (default 1 ). The resulting explosion deals 500 / 600 / 800 / 1000 Blast damage within 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 meters.
- In Landscape missions, the explosion radius of this ability is reduced down to 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 meters.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage does not bypass obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
As the projectile is in motion, its linear velocity increases over time. If the projectile travels beyond the level's boundaries, it will disappear and Bloomer will reset.
The projectile's position is indicated on the HUD and minimap.

As enemies are often buzzing around and are hard to track save for when they are unalerted, it is much easier to fire the rocket at a nearby piece of debris or ship, and detonating it then.

There is a slight tracking effect, where the rocket will curve towards an enemy, although this is unreliable at best, as it is unguided and will continuously travel forwards. However, it is helpful for getting the rocket closer to enemies to be remotely detonated.

Use the in game map, which marks this rocket, and the distance counter to help acquire targets, although in the heat of battle this can be difficult. It's easier and more rewarding to lay traps.

Maximization is a form of specialization: mods may be blended to result in values that vary between the top-end limits listed here. Click any maximized link to learn how to build it.

Maximized Ability Duration has no positive effect on this ability.

- Has no negative effect on this ability.

Sometimes pressing the corresponding ability key once a rocket is active may not detonate it. Instead the Elytron may instead launch another rocket.
