Chaos Blast destroys everything in a given radius. So I must be aware of what's around me.


Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog

Chaos Blast (カオスブラスト Kaosu Burasuto?) is a Chaos Power and a variation of Chaos Control that, so far, only Shadow the Hedgehog and Sir Lancelot have been seen using. It is a great explosion of chaos energy that damages anything and anyone caught within its radius.

Description

Like its name, it is an explosion of highly powerful negative Chaos Energy that damages anyone caught in its range, which varies between games. In most games, Shadow can use it after charging the chaos energy inside his body and firing it outside, which greatly damages, or even destroys, the enemy. Like other Chaos Powers, it can be powered up with the Chaos Emeralds to become even stronger.

Game appearances

Shadow the Hedgehog

This move was introduced in Shadow the Hedgehog. In this game, Shadow can only perform Chaos Blast when in his Dark Shadow form, which he can only enter by filling up his Dark Gauge. When used, Shadow unleashes a massive shockwave that destroys everything within its range and makes any enemies that it comes in contact with lose a significant amount of health. In the boss fight against the Egg Dealer, if Shadow lined up three Shadow icons on its slot machine, he would activate Shadow Fever which instantly fills the Dark Gauge, allowing usage of Chaos Blast. Chaos Blast can also be used in quick succession to gain altitude, although normal gameplay only allows for three unless the blasts cause enough destruction to fill the Dark gauge further. Chaos Blast can also bypass shields like Diablon's and damage him making it very powerful in combating with bosses. It should also be noted that any item picked up while using the Chaos Blast will not be affected. The blast radius is 20 yards (60 feet).[citation needed]

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

In Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow can use the Chaos Blast when he activates the Chaos Boost Level 3. In this game, the Chaos Blast is a small blast of red energy in the immediate one-yard area around the user, which can only be used while in the air. Although the attack can destroy any enemy instantly, regardless of defense, it will not hit unless the player is very close to them.

While initiating the move, the player is invulnerable to attacks.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Shadow delivers an explosion of chaos energy that may weaken affected targets.

Description, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood[1]

In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Chaos Blast is one of Shadow's POW moves. When performing Chaos Blast in this game, Shadow walks up in front of the opposing team, jumps up and fires the Chaos Blast in the form of a purple beam from the palm of his hands at his opponents, then retreats.

In gameplay, Chaos Blast deals attack damage to a chosen target. When dealing damage, Chaos Blast inflicts Blast damage to nearby foes, and also has a chance of inflicting weaken on the target. The higher the level of Chaos Blast is, the more attack damage it will deal and the greater the possibility that it will inflict weaken on the target.

Real-Time Interaction

When performing Chaos Blast in gameplay, the player has to complete a series of real-time events by performing certain actions on the Touch Screen, in order to execute Chaos Blast optimally:

  1. The player has to touch the inside of six circles in succession when the outer circles overlap the inner circles.
  2. The player has to tap an inner circle that appears eight times before the outer circle overlap the inner circle

Missing or not touching these circles correctly will either result in Shadow missing the strike or the damage from the attack being reduced.

Statistics

Level PP Cost Damage Effect
I 6 150% of Attack damage Blast, Weakened I (20% chance)
II 6 160% of Attack damage Blast, Weakened I (30% chance)
III 6 170% of Attack damage Blast, Weakened I (40% chance)

Sonic and the Black Knight

Main article: Knight of Chaos

In Sonic and the Black Knight, Sir Lancelot possesses an exclusive Skill, named "Knight of Chaos", that allows him to perform the Chaos Blast as a part of his Chaos Punishment.

During the mission "Lancelot Returns" in Deep Woods, where the player has to defeat Lancelot, Lancelot can perform the Chaos Blast, which not only damages the player upon contact, but also briefly acts as a shield, blocking the player from attacking Sir Lancelot for a short time.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

In Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, Chaos Blast is utilized as Shadow's All-Star Move. It is a short-ranged blast of red energy that will inflict damage to any racer or obstacle caught in its vicinity.
