Trivia[]
- This ability can be used to easily obtain the achievement "Impact" (Deal 20,000 damage in one hit).
- This ability the highest base Power scaling of all damaging abilities available to Sonny. It's however surpassed by a Level 3 Blood Strike and a Level 5 Warp Strike, since this ability doesn't have the upgrade type "Damage Factor".
- Compared to Arc Flash, this ability will deal less damage on critical hits at all levels, assuming they're at the same ability level and that element power bonuses are not accounted for. Non-critical hits will deal more damage due to the higher Power scaling. The reason Arc Flash deals more damage is due to a glitch which causes it's Crit. Damage bonus to be significantly higher than this ability's bonus. If the glitch would be fixed, then this ability would deal more damage than Arc Flash at level 2 and above.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blast | 607.5% Power | 675% Power | 742.5% Power | 810% Power | 877.5% Power |
| Arc Flash | 720% Power | 761.6% Power | 803.2% Power | 844.8% Power | 886.4% Power |
- If element unique abilities and evolutions are also used (Apocalypse for Fire, Conductivity and Static Potential for Lightning), then Arc Flash will deal even more damage compared to this ability, because of the Lightning Strain having more options compared to Fire Strain.
