The Ion Painter is a remote targeting device used to orient and fire the VAPOR Ion Cannon. The Ion Painter offers increased targeting accuracy via its telescopic sight. Once the Ion Painter has been used to designate a target it is highly recommended that the user put considerable distance between themselves and the weapon's area of effect. Note that the Ion Painter only works outside on maps with an Ion Cannon in the sky, and cannot shoot through ceilings.

Holding the primary fire emits a harmless low-power laser beam. Several seconds later a multi-gigawatt orbital ion cannon fires on the target, neutralizing any combatants in the vicinity. You have to keep the beam still, though- any movement will cancel the orbital bombardment, forcing you to repeat the process of aiming, shooting, and hoping-a-monster-won't-attack-you again.

Holding down the secondary fire simply activates the scope, allowing the user to zoom in on targets..

Tips

Killing yourself with a Ion Painter beam can kill teammates in the blast radius, so be very careful when using a Ion Painter in Monster Mash!

* In Monster Mash the modifier on Super Weapons is not important since the effective magic always depend on what weapon you are curently holding (Once the target is aquired, switching to any other magical weapon will make the ion beam take that effect). See Weapon Master Character Guide: Super Weapons Combo section for more detail.
