Needle Blazer

The Needle Blazer (ニードルブレイザー, Nīdorubureizà) is a weapon that can pierce armor with a devastating and powerful effect. It was originally developed from the Lancelot's Blaze Luminous technology and is usually located at the Knightmare Frame's elbow joint. In close range, it will emit a blast of focused energy that can be used to destroy an enemy Knightmare Frame. The Needle Blazer is usually aimed for an opposing enemy's cockpit, most likely in order to destroy it and kill its pilot. This burst is very powerful and is almost guaranteed to destroy the opposing Knightmare. Its effect is similar to the Radiant Wave Surger in the way of its destructive capabilities, but on a much smaller scale. The only Knightmares that are seen equipped with the Needle Blazer are the Vincent and the Vincent Commander Model.

Operational History
The Needle Blazer was first used by the Vincent during its debut at Babel Tower. Rolo was piloting the Vincent in order to stop the Black Knights, whose objective was to rejoin with Zero. He killed one of the Black Knights who was piloting a Burai with the Needle Blazer. Rolo would once again use the Vincent's Needle Blazer during the Assault on the Geass Order against V.V. to destroy one of the Siegfried's Slash Harkens. The Needle Blazer was also present in Guilford's Vincent Commander Model and was used during the Second Assault on Tokyo Settlement.
