## Strategy

### Strong Match-ups

#### Bots

* Tech bots need power to activate their best abilities, and Slipstream has a number of ways to mess with the opponent’s Power Bar. She can also remove Shock and destroy Tech Shields.

### Weak Match-ups

#### Bots

* Warrior bots love to deal Critical Hits and cause Bleed damage. Slipstream’s low health and lack of Purifying abilities mean she can’t take a lot of damage. Slipstream also can’t activate her Backstab ability while under the effects of Damaging Debuffs.

## Trivia

* Slipstream is an extensive remodeling of Windblade, based on the Takara *Legends* Slipstream toy retooled from *Generations* Windblade, but her head is based on her design from the *Transformers Legends* mobile card game.

## Updates

* Slipstream had a bug where her basic projectiles would just stop at long distances, this was fixed in the 9.1.1 patch.
* The website stats erroneously states "80% chance to gain +15% Critical Damage on Heavy Attacks, and v30% for Repair Block on Special 1.
* The in-game erroneously states Special 2 has Power Rate Down instead of Power Lock.
