Writ the words with differents colors each letter, have 2 copies, 1 up and 1 down, select the 2 copies, Object> blend> make.

while you are selected them, double click on blend tool, specified steps, choose for exmaple 50 or 80, then apply a blure effect with some obacity.

i just tried it, you can befor applying the blend make one of them with some obacity. then apply the blend.

I tried it with 3 text copies on top of each other and 2 have Transform effects and 80% opacity.

You are right  that can be done aldo with transform effects.

Blend or transform effects will give us good results.

Yes, both are possible.
