## Strategy

### Player

Bonecrusher is "the master of bleeds", albeit more passively than offensively. Use his first special to deal more damage as it has the highest chance for bleed and deals a reasonable amount of damage. Get enough Bleeds on the opponent at once and they're essentially Power Locked while Bonecrusher gains a Power Flow boost.

### Opponent

#### General

Do not use Bots that constantly hit with Critical melee attacks, or else they will quickly lose health from Bleeding. Since Brawlers and most Demolition bots have a low melee critical rate (and Thundercracker literally cannot score them), they are the best classes to use against Bonecrusher.

It is best to fight at ranged, as Bonecrusher can't inflict Bleeds at a ranged distance.

#### Rulers of Kaon

His Reflect Ranged mod limits your scope of attacks that you can use against him. You'll have to fight up-close against him.

### Strong Match-ups

* Sideswipe and cinematic Bumblebee will be punished with every critical hit.
* Agile bots like Arcee, Bumblebee and Jazz are very likely to hit with critical melees, thus making them Bleed.
* Wheeljack - Bleeds ignore the Force Shield, and Wheeljack hates all damaging debuffs including Bleeds.
* Hot Rod - Decelerating the master of bleeds and sticking to melee hits will put Hot Rod in a disadvantage against Bonecrusher.
* Drift - Gaining Precision and Critical Damage buffs on Combo will become a mistake.
* Megatron (ROTF) - Bleeds will ignore the Demolition King's armor and Megatron really hates damaging debuffs including Bleeds.

### Weak Match-ups

* Optimus Prime (MV1) can recover health and convert the second bleed into Power while Bleeding and attacking his foe.
* Ironhide (ROTF) - Ironhide's critical hits are all in this ranged attacks, which Bonecrusher's Bleeds have no answer to.
* Though Bonecrusher has the ability to inflict critical hits, Grimlock can Purify Bleeds, putting "the master of bleeds" at a serious disadvantage.
* Optimus Primal has critical armor, thus Bonecrusher will lose the ability to land Critical Hits and the Bleeds he inflicts will soon become an advantage for Optimus Primal’s first Special Attack.
* When Tantrum becomes frenzied, he shrugs off all Bleeds.
* Thundercracker can’t score critical hits and Bonecrusher's passive Bleeds rely on enemy Crits to activate, Also, any other Bleeds Bonecrusher inflicts will be Purified and turned into Melee Damage, placing the walking cactus in a... dire situation.
* Megatronus the Master of the Demolitions has low critical melee damage and when he does inflict’s critical melee hits, his Relic of Preservation will decrease the damage of the bleeds especially the critical hits bonecrusher inflicts leaving the master of bleeds with his most powerful tools doing almost nothing to the Master of Demolitions.

### Recommended Modules

Pair the "Master of Bleeds" with these Mods and dish out enhanced pure hate!

* Harm Accelerator - The Master of Bleeds' perfect match. This Mod will turn his Bleeds into a hemorrhage.
* Robot Resource & Superconductors 1000 and 2000 - In addition to the increased Power Rate with that pure hatred, increases the chance he will use his Special I.
* E.M.I. Module - Ranged Attacks aren't going to save you now. Forcing your opponent to fight Melee will increase the chance Bonecrusher will Bleed.
