STRONG MATCH-UPS:

- Soundwave – Bee can Shield Break with both Ranged and Melee his, ensuring even the mighty Soundwave can’t Reflect Ranged attacks for long.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
- Bonecrusher – The master of Bleeds will punish Bumblebee with every crit.
- Dinobot – Bumblebee is rewarded for dashing at opponent’s and staying near them, but dashing into and hitting Dinobot’s block would be a painful mistake.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR BUMBLEBEE:
- Nightbird’s Mark – With both his two major abilities boosted, Bumblebee will become exponentially more powerful.
- EMI Module – Bee will gain the ability to Evade Ranged Attacks, forcing you to stay within Melee Range and in turn allowing him to generate power with his Signature Ability.
