Bonnie

Class: Marksman

Rarity: Epic

Trio: Stunt Show with Stu and Janet

Best skin: Icarus Bonnie

Mastery title: "The Reckless"

​

Bonnie is an extremely tanky marksman with a long range and very fast reload speed. However, she has a slow movement speed that can make it difficult to maneuver against other marksmen. She is a medium-skill brawler due to her complex playstyle and easy-to-hit projectile. She also has two forms, long-range and short-range, which can make her very versatile against assassins and long-range brawlers.

​

Health: 4800 to 9600 

Movement speed: Slow

​

Main Attack (cannon form): 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 may have trouble handling assassins in cannon form 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.  ​

​

Main Attack (Clyde form): Bomber Jacket 

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

Damage: 3 x 1160 

Range: Normal

Reload speed: Slow 

Bonnie's Clyde form main attack is a cluster of small projectiles that can deal heavy damage in close-range combat. She can quickly unload her ammo after jumping onto an enemy and transform back to her cannon form. She also has very fast movement speed to make up for her limited range in this form. 

​

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 plays a pivotal role in making her such a versatile brawler. She can use this to assasinate brawlers who are low or ones who are vulnerable to close-range combat. This super can also be used as an escape mechanism if ever in a dangerous situation. ​

​

Super: Clyde 

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

Damage: None 

Range: None 

Bonnie's Clyde form super is also a crucial part of her kit since it allows her to quickly jump onto brawlers and transform back to her cannon form. This eliminates one of her key vulnerabilities, of not being able to attack using her short-range form. 

​​

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, low ammo capacity and slow movement speed. It can be used to go on the offensive and apply pressure or to escape impending danger. 

​

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 very circumstantial. ​

​​

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. 

​

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: 

Speed buff: 25%

Damage buff: 25%

Shield buff: 5%

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. The stat buffs also make her much better equipped to take down tanks and other assassins with this hypercharge. 

​​

Gear selection:

Supercharge 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 3 shots, 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.

Best Matchups:

Bonnie is a well-rounded brawler in the current meta since she can be played into almost any comp. 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. 

​

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. Brawlers such as Mr. P, Eve, Charlie, Piper, and Belle are some of her main counters. Throwers are also a good option since they can avoid charging her super, and brawlers such as Juju and Larry, and Lawrie have spawnables to counter Bonnie's main attack. 

​​

Best Game Modes: 

Since Bonnie has high HP and consistent damage output, she is very strong in control-based gamemodes such as hotzone and gem grab. She can be played as a gem carrier in Gem Grab because of her super that provides an escape route. Her assassin abilities also allow her to be used in knockout and bounty since she can quickly eliminate a brawler and transform back to her cannon. 

​

Tips and Tricks:

• 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.

• 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. 

• 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 sugar rush 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.
