Why is that meaningful? His #1 has a guaranteee slash proc but it doesn’t affect blast specifically?
I hope I understood your question right: if you Slash Dash with Exalted Blade, you get the blade beams, and Chromatic Blade’s status chance buff means it’s easy to get guaranteed procs. If it’s Blast, you get blast beams.
I played around with the build a bit, and depending on how enemies oblige Furious Javelin, I was getting blast dashes for 120k~2M, so it’s quite powerful.
