## Strategy

### Player

Ramjet is the master of stuns and he stuns so much he even stuns himself in his 3rd special attack unless he has a lot of momentum. It's a good idea to use regular melee combos to build up power. When the time presents itself, use your heavy attacks. Know that you aren't always invincible when you're heavy attacking; You might be unstoppable but you're not invincible. Build up enough special damage to immediately start attacking the enemy after your special 3. Usually, building four special buffs will make sure you recover from the self-stun immediately.

Ramjet's Special 2 was notorious for whiffing, his first thruster-stun hit can fall short and miss. This happens most often when the Special is immediately launched right after a melee combo. Wait for a split half-second at the last hit of a combo before firing for the hit to connect.

### Opponent

Ranged combat will be your friend. Stay at range to keep away from Ramjet's deadly heavy attacks. Bots who possess a heavy ranged attack will help you out very well and in the other hand, Melee bots like Brawlers will struggle in defeating Ramjet as they get rammed instantly over and over again. Scouts bots too won't be able to activate Evasion once they are Stunned.

### Strong Match-ups

* **Scout**s bots mostly rely on Evades, something Ramjet will stop these occurrences with Stuns and make these evasion do nothing.
* **Optimus Prime (GS)** - Optimus Prime will attempt to use his Heavy Attack to Roll Out, but Ramjet will always win when it comes to vehicle-on-vehicle collision.
* **Megatron (ROTF)** - Like all damaging debuffs, burns will cut right through the Demolition King’s natural armor. Stunning the big fella is also a good way to ensure his Unstoppable triggers are spent in a daze even though he utilises ranged attacks.
* **Jazz** **-** Autobot Jazz enjoys seeing his opponents Stunned, but Ramjet can ignore Stuns when he has a lot of Momentum and of course stun him in return. Well that’s not fair!

### Weak Match-ups

* **Megatronus** - When Ramjet stuns the lord of the demolitions, the relic of immortality will contain any damage that was hit, the relic of obedience will prevent Ramjet from gaining Momentums and being Unstoppable during his Heavy attack and the relic of preservation will prevent him from the damage of the burn debuffs.
* **Grimlock** - Grimlock will easily Purify Ramjet’s Burn Debuffs leaving the master of stuns without one of his most powerful tools.
* **Rhinox** - Rhinox’s Shielding will be highly effective against Ramjet’s powerful Special Attacks. Additionally the Rhino-bot is resistant to Burn damage.
* Any bot who utilizes Ranged attacks will be your friend.
* **Starscream** - Despite the class advantage, the coward's Null Ray will tear through his comrade's special buffs and he deals his attacks mostly on ranged avoiding the heavy attacks. Just watch out for close-quarter combat.
* **Kickback -** Opponents who are T-Clogged will face the consequences when using a heavy attack while T-Clogged but Ramjet loves to use heavy attacks.
* **Rodimus Prime** - Despite the class advantage, Ramjet can no longer Stun Rodimus when he's below 40% max health.

### Recommended Modules

The master of stuns will effectively defends your Base with these Modules.

* **Strange Refractor and Paralyzer** will mesh well with Ramjet’s up-close fighting style, turning the master of Stuns into an absolute wrecking ball against his helpless opponents.
* **Security Module** will enhance Ramjet’s natural toughness, turning him into a tank….that flies like Grindor.
* **Transwarp Cell** will boost the chance Ramjet uses his Heavy Attack, since he is unstoppable during Heavy Attacks  that is something you’ll want him to do often.
* **Exo-Filter -** Ramming with *Heavy Attacks makes Ramjet more* Unstoppable, burnin' through the sky, yeah!
* **Superconductor 1000** - Ramjet's Special I is already hard to dodge, make that chance second to none.
