Blaze Thrower

Blaze Thrower is one of Krohnen's Special Moves, introduced in The King of Fighters XV.

Description
Krohnen swings his arm out, creating a trail of flames at his feet.

Strategy
Compared to the Kyokugenryu Ko'ou Ken (particularly Ryo's or Yuri's versions), this one has more utility, since it can function as both a midrange poke, an anti-projectile tool, and even a combo starter in the corner (specifically with the version, which knocks down on hit).

The EX version on the other hand carries over both of these benefits, but on top of that, it also crumples the opponent on hit, granting Krohnen plenty of combo opportunity as he can follow up with either EX Heat Shield or EX Strike Slash on hit to extend his combos.

It can also be used to good effect in combos, particularly for easier cancels into Fusion Blaster, which is liable to whiff after a normal Heat Shield (as that has better synergy with Infernal Prominence instead).
