Bonnie

Class: Marksman

Rarity: Epic

Trio: Stunt Show with Stu and Janet

Best skin: Icarus Bonnie

Title: "The Reckless"

Prestige Title: "Toothbreaker"

​

Bonnie is an extremely tanky marksman with a long range and fast reload speed. However, she has a slow movement speed that can make it difficult to maneuver against other marksmen and dodge. Her main gimmick is having two forms, marksman and assassin, which can make her versatile against close and long-range brawlers.

​

Cannon Form Health: 5000 to 10000

Bonnie Form Health: 3000 to 6000

Movement speed: Slow or Very Fast

​

Cannon Main Attack: Loose Tooth 

"Bonnie shoots a HUGE tooth from Clyde towards her enemies."

Damage: 2240

Range: Long

Reload speed: Very Fast

Bonnie's cannon form main attack is a fast tooth that deals a decent amount of damage in all ranges. However, she lacks burst damage since she can only hold 1 piece of ammo at a time. Her very fast reload speed makes up for her limited ammo capacity in most scenarios, and she should be used against medium-range brawlers. It has a great auto aim range due to it being a relatively wide projectile, allowing you to focus more on dodging once enemies are in mid-range.​

​​

​

Cannon Super: Star Launcher 

"Clyde launches Bonnie into the air. She can fly over obstacles and deals damage to nearby enemies on landing."

Damage: 2000

Range: Long

Bonnie's super is a very long ranged jump that deals damage upon landing and transforms her into her Bonnie form, which gains a different set of abilities with lower health. Her super plays a pivotal role in making her such a versatile brawler. She can use it to assassinate brawlers who are low or ones who are vulnerable to close-range combat. Her super can also be used as an escape mechanism if ever in a dangerous situation. ​

​​

Bonnie Main Attack: Bomber Jacket

"Bonnie flings a cluster of small grenades from her sleeves." 

Damage: 3 x 1160 

Range: Normal

Reload speed: Slow 

Bonnie main attack is a cluster of small projectiles that can deal heavy damage in close-range combat. It has an incredibly fast unload speed, making her have incredibly high burst damage, however it does have incredibly short range. It also has the normal 3 ammo slots, which are full whenever she jumps. Her movement speed is also boosted to very fast, allowing her to close down enemies more effectively and burst them down with her main attack.

​

Super: Clyde 

"Bonnie calls Clyde and jumps into it, taking control of the cannon."

Bonnie's super allows her to jump back into her cannon after a short delay, and it is instantly charged after she uses her cannon super. This allows her to switch out of her melee form as soon as enemies get out of range, which is very useful for allowing her to keep pressure on other enemy brawlers. Additionally, since Bonnie's normal form has less health, transforming back into her cannon form heals her, which can be huge for surviving more interactions.

​​

Gadget 1: Sugar Rush

"Clyde's movement and reload speed are increased by 30% for 5 seconds."

Cooldown: 16 seconds

This gadget can be a game-changer for Bonnie since it allows her to overcome both of her weaknesses in cannon form, low burst damage and slow movement speed. It can be used to go on the offensive and apply pressure or to escape impending danger. The best use case of this gadget is to use the movement speed boost to get into auto-aim range, then spam auto-aim with the shortened reload speed.

​

Gadget 2: Crash Test 

"Bonnie dashes forward, knocking back enemies and dealing 2320 damage on hit."

Cooldown: 10 seconds

This gadget is not as good compared to her previous one due to the limited usage case. While the knockback and extra damage can be useful in some cases, you will only be in Bonnie's short-range form after jumping onto an enemy. Her high DPS and burst potential will be able to eliminate most brawlers in the game, so this gadget is pretty much unecessary.​

​​

Star Power 1: Black Powder 

"The range of Bonnie's Star Launcher is increased by 36%"

This star power provides a large boost to Bonnie's Star Launcher range and can increase her assassin potential. Her super will now be able to cover most of the map and allow for more aggressive plays, allowing her to jump on any brawler from across the map.

​

Star Power 2: Wisdom Tooth

"Loose Tooth shatters on hit, dealing 25% extra damage to nearby enemies."

Although this may seem like a useful star power, it is one of the most useless abilities in the game. The extra damage and projectiles from this star power rarely hit a brawler and never provide value.  

​

Hypercharge: Daredevil

"Bonnie stuns enemies for 1 sec when firing and landing from Clyde, plus she spits damage-dealing teeth around her."

Charge rate: 2 supers

Bonnie's hypercharge gives a very large boost to her assassin capabilities by stunning enemies on landing and dealing additional damage with the extra projectiles. This allows for her to almost fully unload all her ammo while the opponents are stunned, leading to nearly guaranteed kills. It is also amazing in melee range since you stun the enemies on takeoff and landing, allowing for Bonnie to take down even more brawlers hit by her hypercharged super.

​​​

Epic Gear: Super Charge

This gear increases Bonnie's super charge rate by 10%, allowing her to charge her super in 1 less hit. This also affects her hypercharge rate.

​

Gear selection:

Super charge gear and damage gear are by far the best for Bonnie due to her high HP and reliance on her super. With the super charge gear, Bonnie can get her super in 1 less shot, which can change many interactions with assassins by allowing a more aggressive playstyle. Since she has very high HP, the damage gear can come into effect at a higher HP than other brawlers, allowing her to get more value from the gear. Shield gear can also be useful in slow-paced game modes such as knockout and bounty. Health gear is also a solid gear choice due to her high health, however it doesn't synergize too well with her cannon's main attack since she can't store up ammo while healing.

Best Matchups:

Bonnie is a well-rounded brawler since she can be played into almost any comp due to her dual forms. Her fast reload speed and assassin capabilities allow her to counter short-ranged brawlers and medium-ranged brawlers. She can also be used against low DPS brawlers since she has very high HP. However, her best matchups are mainly squishy brawlers that have no defense mechanism since she can easily use her super to eliminate them and quickly transform back into cannon form. Brawlers that fit this category well are Mandy, Amber, and Gray.

​

Best Counters:

Bonnie is mainly countered by brawlers that have spawnables or pets. Marksmen who have a longer range can also make her useless since she cannot evade shots with her slow movement speed. Charlie's spiders are very hard to deal with, and Piper's main attack can easily hit Bonnie in cannon form due to her slow movement speed. Throwers are also a decent option as long as Bonnie doesn't have her super since they can stay behind walls to avoid feeding Bonnie, and brawlers such as Juju have spawns to counter Bonnie's cannon form main attack. 

​​

Best Game Modes: 

Since Bonnie has high HP and consistent damage output, she is a solid marksman in Bounty/Wipeout since enemies can struggle to take her down with her constant shots and high health. Her assassin capabilities also shine in these modes, allowing her to secure kills with her super and Bonnie form. She is also a decent pick in control modes such as Gem Grab with her high health, and her assassin capabilities are also great at quickly eliminating the enemy gem carrier from across the map. She is also a solid brawler in Heist due to her super being able to deal a ton of damage to the safe from a very long range, however be wary that you will almost always be dying when jumping on the safe.

​

Tips and Tricks:​

• You can also use Bonnie's main attack to deal additional damage before jumping onto an opponent with her super. This can also change many interactions since the extra 2240 damage can allow her to kill many more brawlers with her super. 

• Bonnie's sugar rush gadget can be used to apply pressure even if you don't get the full value from her reload and speed buffs. For example, if your team gets eliminated while pressuring the heist safe in Safe Zone, you can pop this gadget and delay the enemy push by shooting projectiles, which causes the enemies to expend more ammo on you and allows your teammates to respawn.

• Although many people use Bonnie's super to attack and assassinate brawlers, you can also use it to escape when eliminating a brawler in close range with the sugar rush gadget. This is especially useful in Bounty since you can rush low DPS brawlers and use your super to get away fast. 

• Bonnie can be very useful in certain game modes, such as Heist, due to her high DPS output with her super. Her hypercharge and super combination can be used to deal damage to the Heist safe rather than eliminating opponents in high-pressure scenarios.

• Switching up the main attack shot pattern can be used to mess up the opponent's rhythm and cause them to dodge fewer shots. For example, you could fire a few fast projectiles using the sugar rush gadget and then hold your next shot so your opponent is surprised and panics with their movement. 

• Even though Bonnie's cannon form is mainly used in long-range interactions, it can also be very effective in short range in combination with her super. In maps with bushes, you could camp in a bush until an opponent gets close, then fire a cannon shot and quickly super to make the opponent waste ammo, so they can't kill you when you land on them. ​

•  When using auto-aim with Bonnie, it can be very effective while using her Sugar Rush gadget in her cannon form and less effective in medium range with her short-range form. Since Bonnie's short-range projectiles come out one after another, skilled opponents may be able to dodge them when using auto aim in medium range. However, her cannon form, combined with the sugar rush gadget, can be very lethal while rushing an enemy in close range with auto-aim.
