"I've taken out the most highly protected people in the world. YOU WON'T EVEN BE A CHALLENGE."
—Winter Soldier[src]

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


Bio[]

In the heat of World War II, Bucky Barnes gave his life for his country — or so Captain America thought. His frozen body was recovered by the Soviets, who turned him into an unstoppable, fearsome assassin — and their puppet! Freed from Russian control, Bucky now fights on the side of the just and righteous.

Abilities[]

  • Fury (All Attacks): 11% chance for Fury, increasing Attack by X for 7 seconds.
  • Ammo Stockpile (Passive): Winter Soldier begins the fight with one type of ammo loaded into all his guns. Each time he launches a Special Attack he automatically switches to the next Ammo Type. Winter Soldier can also dash back and hold block for 1.5 seconds to manually switch ammo types.


Signature Ability[]

  • EMP Upgrade
    • Critical Hits: An upgrade to Bucky's bionic arm grants his Critical Hits a 15% chance to Power Drain the opponent for X% of the target's max Power. The amount drained increases based on Critical Hit Damage.


Special Attacks[]

  • Deuces are Wild
    • After a flurry of attacks, the Winter Soldier finishes off his opponent with a little help from his friends.
  • 1945
    • The Winter Soldier demonstrates a few tricks he learned from his days as Captain America's partner.
  • Fist of the Red Army
    • The Winter Soldier was once the greatest assassin the Red Army ever produced. Let him show you why.

Strengths and weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Rotating Utility
    • Winter Soldier’s easy Ammo rotation allows him to switch up his Debuffs according to his opponent or situation. If the opponent is Immune to Bleed damage, switch to Incendiary mode. If they gain a lot of Armor Rating, quickly switch back to Armor Piercing.
  • Bypass Armor and Resistances
    • Ignore the opponents Armor directly with his Armor Piercing mode, or sneak around it with his Damage Over Time Debuffs. All modes, except in the cases of Immunities, are effective against high Armor Champions or Nodes that would otherwise make his basic hits weak.
  • Ramp Up Damage
    • Pair Winter Soldier with Killmonger to increase his damage for every hit of his combo meter. Play it safe and avoid getting hit to bring your opponent to their knees.

Weaknesses[]

  • Bleed Immunity and/or Debuff Tenacity
    • A good portion of Winter Soldier’s Special Attack damage is based on his Bleed and Incinerate Debuffs, so Bleed and/or Incinerate Immunity will reduce his damage output. Opponents that are able to easily shrug off any of his Debuffs will also make it hard to deal meaningful damage
  • Power Drain/Special Suppression
    • Winter Soldier’s Ammo abilities only trigger on Special Attacks. Without them, he is unable to access most of his utility.

Trivia[]

  • There is some inconsistency with Winter Soldier's design. As noted by many players, Winter Soldier's metallic arm will occasionally be on his right side instead of his left side.
