Description

Appearance

The Blorb appears as a large blue gel-like sphere held in place by straps attached to the wrist.

Function

"Big, bouncy, bulbous blobs of unknown origin. The latest research suggests that they're very sticky and have a fantastic fruit-like flavor."

—Official Description

• Fighters hit by the Blorb will be temporarily blinded by blue slime.
• The Blorb has a significant arc and bounces off the floor and walls, allowing unpredictable movement.
• A Rush will increase the weight class of the projectiles to S.Heavy for the duration of the attack.
