 * Holding and releasing it after one second fires a large orb with infinite piercing and increased damage.
 * Holding for more than three seconds fires a large, solid beam, continuously until the key is released, mana is depleted, or ~5 seconds have passed. The beam does even more damage (~175), has infinite piercing, and hits all enemies in its path repeatedly, about 5 times per second. The firing angle cannot be adjusted while the continuous beam is firing.

Trivia

 * The item is a nod to the classic video game character , who had a similarly-shaped cannon called a "Mega Buster". It could be similarly charged before firing, and the Charged Blaster Cannon's appearance as part of the player's arm when selected mimics the fact that Mega Man's robotic body had the gun built into his arm, along with the weapon's circular appearance.
