StrategyEdit

Hound may not have the strongest basic and Special Attacks, and his Burns are longer than stronger, but his Precision Ammo mode is useful in specific situations. Enemies can't Evade ranged attacks. Hound's Precision Special 1 is useful for disabling an opponent's Critical Rate, which is useful against Expert/Master Solo Mission Bots with deadly Critical Rate and Critical Damage mods.

In addition, Hound himself can deal frequent ranged Critical hits by increasing his Critical Rate and decreasing his opponent's Critical Resistance.

Strong Match-UpsEdit

Barricade – Autobot Hound’s Precision Ammo rarely misses, making Autobot Hound the premier choice to dismantle this Barricade’s powerful Evasion Buff.
Mirage, Windblade – Their Heavy Attacks are notorious for being untouchable to Ranged Attacks, but that trick stops at Autobot Hound. Precision Ammo is not affected by abilities that would cause Ranged Attacks to Miss.
Kickback
Cheetor - The Maximal scout won't be able to make use of his evade buffs.

Weak Match-UpsEdit

Optimus Primal – Primal will completely resist Autobot Hound’s Powerful Critical Hits.
Soundwave – Soundwave has the ability to reflect Autobot Hound’s powerful Signature Ability right back into his bearded face.

Recommended ModulesEdit

E.M.I. Module – The E.M.I. Module will punish any gunslingers who attempt to outshoot this warrior.
- Raids: His Precision Ammo would not be affected by opponent E.M.I Modules.
Laser Guidance Module – This module will combine with Autobot Hound’s Signature Ability to punch holes through even the toughest opponent.
Superconductor 2000 - It is quite hard to completely dodge Hound's Gatling gun bullets and grenade.
