Star Wars Zero Company Ion Blaster Guide
1.1 notes say Ion Blasters doubled their Critical Damage. That bug is fixed. The notes do not publish a base crit multiplier.
Updated
What is confirmed
- Utility slot. Weakens Ray Shields. Strong versus droids, weak versus organics — editorial classification on the Patch 1.1 weapon page.
- FAQ on that page still says ion classification was not fully confirmed pre-launch.
- No ammo, range, or operator restriction is published.
Best configuration
- Any operator facing droids or Ray Shields. Casualties of War rewards a Droid Popper, which is a different utility.
