Duman Infinity Blast Force and Vanguard: PSP2i
I saw that someone wanted to know how the Force and Vanguard Infinity Blasts look like on Gamefaqs, but the description was vague. Well It’s kind of a coincidence Sakai posted this today.
The Force Version of the Infinity Blast
During this blast, if you press Square, your Duman will unleash balls of light consecutively. At the end, the light will explode and can hit enemies that are nearby the circumference of its explosion. If you hold down the triangle button, you will do a light explosion around your character.

The Vanguard version of the Infinity Blast
With the Square button you will generate a photon sword in both hands and unleash quick spinning attacks. If you hold the triangle button, your Duman will spin up into the air with a tornado attack.

Type level ranges unlock new special features for Infinity Blasts.
- Infinity Blast Levels
- Type Level 11 ~ 20: HP Recovery*
- Type Level 21 ~ 30: Reduced Charge Time
- Type Level 31 ~ 40: Sleep Effect
- Type Level 41 ~ 50: Blast time lengthened.

Though Sakai wrote HP recovery, the current form in the Demo is HP absorption.
Now, the Infinity Blasts are a double edged sword, because just like the nanoblast, you can not use any items to heal yourself during the process. No items whatsoever. So you need to be careful with your timing, especially with bosses or you might die….

Additional Comments
See I knew Sakai was going to balance this the right way. I didn’t think for one minute they were able to heal themselves. So maybe the Dumans are a strong race, but their poor defense will obliterate those who can’t Just Guard (Exact Block).

I’m really impressed with how much Sakai seems to “get it” and understand how an online game should be, I really hope this design philosophy continues on to PSO2

Sakai is seriously the man. He knows what we want. And he gives it to us.

So does this mean that the Infinity Blasts will be as useless as Nanoblasts when playing on the higher difficulty levels? Cuz it sounds like it.

Infinity Blasts are way overly powerful if you check out the TGS video. Some attacks are so long range that I’m sure the enemies will die before they get to you. I think it’s more of a problem against bosses though.
