The Trailblazer is a tier 5 ship in the U-Series mod. This ship is similar to the U-Demon, but it is much smaller and has much less recoil! It regains energy faster than the U-Demon, but the agility is slightly worse. It also doesn't have the U-Demon's ability to shoot with less damage when clicked too quickly, which could be both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Faster when back firing then the U Demon and U speeder, slower than the U afterburn and U smasher.
When only energy cap. and regen are upgraded, fires 4 shots from the front with huge dps.
viable as a rammer, though held back by its initial low agility and low move speed without its back cannons.
Tips
Sneak up on enemies from behind or the side as much as possible.
When confronting an enemy like the U-Arsenal or U-Siege from the front, move towards them so that your shot will have more velocity. Immediately after you shoot all of your pulses, steer to the side and run away. This way, even if they hit you, the knockback won't trap you.
Although more powerful, the fully upgraded bullets do less damage overall (2*175 = 350 total damage) then the non upgraded 4 bursts (4*100 = 400 total).
If you upgrade damage once and max energy regen, the 4 bullets do 4*115 = 460 damage over max((460+70+70-600)/150, 0.2) = 0.2 seconds. This is recommended for fighting other speeders, except the U-Afterburn.
If you upgrade damage twice and max energy regen, the 4 bullets do 4*130 = 520 damage over (520+70+70-600)/150 = 0.4 seconds. This is enough to kill ships that have 500 or less health, such as a U-Afterburn without gems. This is recommended for fighting other speeders.
If you upgrade damage 3 times and max energy regen, the 4 bullets do 4*145 = 580 damage over (580+70+70-600)/150 = 0.8 seconds.
If you upgrade damage 4 times and max energy regen, the 4 bullets do 4*160 = 640 damage over (640+70+70-600)/150 = 1.2 seconds.
With max damage and energy regen, it takes 1.6 seconds to do 4*175 = 700 damage. If only the first 2 shots hit, and the opponent escapes, that's only 350 damage. This is recommended only for a fast hit-and-run, when you don't expect to hit more than the first 2 bullets.
One strategy(if you are good at steering) is to start a ways off, then rush forward and ram your opponent. the huge speed will knock them spinning. Immediately after hitting them, stop and move forward regularly letting your energy recharge, then blast them before they recover.
