Crossbones is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champion, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

Bio[]

Once a high level agent at S.H.I.E.L.D., Brock Rumlow revealed his true colors as an enforcer for HYDRA when the evil agency threatened to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. from within. Since the climatic battle, the dangerous mercenary now calling himself Crossbones has hidden underground, striking from the shadows and selling his skills to the highest bidder.

Mechanics[]

Crossbones’ gameplay revolves around stacking up Fury Buffs in place of Critical Hits for high raw damage. Using abilities such as Overrun or Heavy Attacks allow him to upkeep a large number of Fury Buffs at once. His Special attacks help in stacking up Buffs as well as dealing high damage output through Incinerate Debuffs that scale with his Attack Rating. Additionally, while Overrun is active Crossbones gains power at an increased rate to launch his Special Attacks more frequently.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Great against Hero Characters
    • Crossbones gains unique ability bonuses through his [Contempt] mechanic when fighting against #Hero characters.
  • High Damage Potential
    • Having various ways to stack multiple Fury and Precision buffs alongside block proficiency and physical resistance reduction, Crossbones hits harder the longer the fight lasts.
  • Defensive ability suppression
    • Crossbones’ attacks allow him to reduce Defensive Ability Accuracy of the opposition allowing him to bypass abilities such as Evade.

Weaknesses[]

  • Buff Reliant
    • Crossbones’ damage is heavily reliant on stacking offensive buffs thus abilities like Nullify or Stagger can reduce his overall damage output.
  • Incinerate Immunity
    • Stacking Fury Buffs grants a large damage increase to Crossbones’ Special Attack 2 Incinerate which is cancelled out by any form of Incinerate Immunity.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Liquid Courage / Double Edge
    • Crossbones buff to his purify chance in sig makes him a great user for Liquid Courage and Double Edge, letting him purify the debuffs attached much easier.

Trivia[]

  • Crossbones is a bit of an amalgamation of the film version of the character and the comic version of the character: he retains his appearance from the film, although his height is the same as in the comics.[2]
