Windblade

Bio[]

Hailing from the planet Caminus, this agile Scout is as adept with her swords as she is at "Cityspeaking" with gigantic Titans. Her commitment to duty and truth make her an invaluable ally...as long as you adhere to both.

Strategy[]

Commander[]

Windblade is the Warrior who doesn’t only possesses formidable Bleeds, but also Stormfall Blasts will effectively disable any Power Gain, which means she will disable Robot Resources, albeit temporarily (ESPECIALLY WHEN Megatronus IS ON ONE)

Her heavy attack is very useful for avoiding hard-hitting heavy ranged and special ranged attacks, especially hard-to-dodge shotgun blasts. Mirage and Slipstream also have this perk.

Opponent[]

Don't take any of her Bleeds, 4 stacks equals a Stun, which will be an utter nightmare.

Strong Match-ups[]

Bots[]

Soundwave's Power Gain can be neutralized by Windblade's Special 1. In addition, Soudwave's Heavy Attack is ineffective against Windblade's Heavy Attack.
Ratchet's Power Gain too.
Windblade's Special 2 is great for piercing through Bots with tough armor like Megatron (ROTF), Grindor, and Ramjet.
Windblade's Heavy Attack is great for avoiding Special Ranged Attacks like those from Waspinator.
Megatronus - Special I does serious damage because of his power gain, especially if Relic of Fury is on at the time and her heavy neuters his ranged attacks. If Megatronus' health is low (but not low enough to trigger his Relic of Immortality), her Special I or II can finish him off before the relic can kick in and protect him.

Mods[]

Windblade's Special 1 can temporarily disable Robot Resources and Superco nductors.

Weak Match-ups[]

Bots[]

Bonecrusher will punish Windblade with every (sword) crit.
Hound's Precision Ammo are the only Ranged Attacks Windblade can't evade in jet mode.
Tantrum - Frenzies will stop bleeds.
Grimlock - Bleeding will only fuel Melee Buffs.
Grindor - Windblade relies on Crits to strike Bleeds, but Crit Rate Debuffs weaken that ability.
Ramjet - Ramjet will ignore the Stun after 4 stacks of Bleeds that Windblade throws if he has a lot of Momentum.

Mods[]

Recommended Modules[]

Make Windblade a potent Base Defender with these mods!

With the Harm Accelerator, Windblade always has a chance to Stun base raiders.
The Nightbird's Mark will enhance her Critical Hits, meaning that she will always have a chance to Stun raiders.
Paralyzers will enhance Windblade's Stuns. This could be the worst case scenario when you're Raiding a base... and when you take 4 bleeds!

On certain Missions, Windblade comes packed with a Melee Bleed Module, which means that she will bleed your Bot all the time. That and the fact she has the potential to stun your Bot makes her really deadly.
