Barricade

Bio[]

This Decepticon puts his own spin on good cop, bad cop. People think they're dealing with a good cop when Barricade rolls up. But, when he's done with them, they'll know they've tangled with a seriously bad cop. Want more proof? 'To Punish and Enslave' is the mantra he lives by.

Strategy[]

Commander[]

Stay at a distance and keep inflicting backfire debuffs. You can also deal more melee damage with your criticals.

Opponent[]

General[]

Avoid Barricade's ranged attacks by sidestepping frequently, as they can land critical hits and Backfire. Be careful not to use Special Attacks if under the effect of Backfire, or else it will backfire by potentially knocking yourself out. If possible, do not knock him down with Heavy Attacks, as his Evade is one of if not the highest rates.

Rulers of Kaon[]

If you thought Sideswipe was slippery, there's Barricade with his evade ranged timed mod. To save you time, bring a formidable anti-evasion Warrior with your party. Otherwise, Barricade plays like any other Barricade fight.

Strong Match-ups[]

Ratchet - Inflicting Backfires will deal more damage than the Autobot Medic can heal.
Anyone who relies on special attacks - Bots who rely on special attacks to do real damages like Demolition bots will take damage if they have Backfire debuffs but make sure you dodge the hits!
Megatron (ROTF) - Stacking backfires will ignore Megatron’s tough armor. Sometimes Leaders can fall.
Megatron - If Megatron thought Sideswipe was slippery, Knocking the bad cop down would be an even more troublesome because his evades are so effective in which Megatron will struggle to even steal a single buff from the bad cop let alone fuse a debuff or refresh a debuff from the specials he inflicts in the first place.
Grimlock - Stacking backfires will ignore his Signature ability. Sometimes a king can fall.

Weak Match-ups[]

Hound - Autobot Hound’s Precision Ammo rarely misses, making him the premier choice to dismantle this Barricade’s powerful Evasion Buff.
Hot Rod - Decelerations will leave the rouge cop unable to evade attacks.
Megatronus - The relic of obedience can prevent the bad cop from evading whenever he is knocked down.

Recommended Modules[]

The Bad Cop is giving you trouble with these Mods! This need edit!

Laser Guidance Module - Barricade will be able to make greater use of his Backfire and Heavy Attacks.
Nightbird's Mark - The elusive Barricade will be evading more attacks along with an increased critical rate.
Scout's Sentry - Evasive like Barricade will deal more critical hits, evade more consistently denying power from the attacker.
