“

Soldoros believed I could be strong. I still have a lot to learn, but I think I'm strong enough to beat you. For the glory of the Launchers! For the peace of the world!

”

Blanc Nehjou is a Launcher and a member of the Grim Seekers. He appears as an opponent within Tower of Despair's Floor 72, assisting the Adventurers in becoming Azalea Lott's prophesized 'Refined Blade'. After the Tower departs from Arad, his whereabouts are unknown.

History

The Male Launcher Resurgence Nowadays, the world of gunners is full of Rangers and Female Gunners... It's all about elemental damage upgrades now. Now it's our time to shine. From the ashes, I will revive the Male Launchers and put us into the limelight. Male Launchers forever!

Like many of the inhabitants of the Tower of Despair, Blanc Nehjou's true origins remain a mystery. He is the inhabitant of the 72nd Floor, and that alone is a testament to his strength. Nehjou dedicates himself to achieving his dream of 'The Male Launcher Resurgence,' increasing his strength to bring glory to the Male Launcher profession.

During the Arad Adventure Era, Nehjou bides his time training himself and adventurers who enter the Tower to prepare for the inevitable confrontation with the Apostles. But after Azalea's untimely demise, Nehjou, like many of the other inhabitants, leave the tower. However, he does not join alongside the Seven Grim Seeker Hardliners and departs to locations unknown.

Strategy

• Blanc Nehjou does not have any special gimmicks related to his skills other than lowered cooldown for certain skills.
• While above 50% HP, Nehjou will play offensively and run after you. However, when below 50%, he plays defensively and attempts to avoid your attacks by hiding in the corners.
• Blanc Nehjou excels in the X-axis range. Prioritize using skills that attack in the Y-axis to avoid most of his attacks. While doing this, attempt to bait out his  Satellite Beam and  FM-92 Stinger SW to minimize his threat level.
• At the beginning of the fight, Blanc Nehjou will focus on casting  Satellite Beam. Either interrupt his channeling to cancel the skill or focus on avoiding the lasers for 10 seconds while staying out of Nehjou's attack range. If the player happens to die during this duration, Satellite Beam will still undergo its 60 second downtime.
• One of the downsides of being a Launcher, Nehjou lacks Super Armor on many of his attacks and is highly susceptible to Hitstun.
