Guide
THIS GUIDE IS SPECIALLY MADE FOR BOUNTY MODE since I think bounty has the most open maps where bolt can use it's maximum capabilitiesAlright so let's do it step by step:
Oil change gadget : this should only be used at max speed as it gives 2000 more shield HP, increasing bolts survivability. Don't use it recklessly, I'd say you should use it only when you try to escape or you're low on health.Gears : many people think that shield + strength combo is the best for bolt. While it's true about the strength gadget, I'm not that sure about shield.
Since you'll have to constantly push again enemy's territory, you'll constantly loose most of your health, and by using the gadget, you'll be able to recover your hp faster, making you rush the enemy more constantly.Unstoppable star power : this star power is what makes this brawler broken, because it cancels most of the crowd control (except hipnotism I think), and that's the only think that can confidently stop bolt from destroying your team.
Using this star power, your super becomes very valuable, meaning that you have to use it logically and precisely to get most of its value (I'll give a little guide at the end ig).Bounty guide:
(Might not be good since I'm not such a pro myself, so read on your own regards)Alright so, let's say you picked bolt in bounty mode. First think first, I'd say that you should rush middle and get the blue star (if you somehow get low there, use gadget). After that, I'd say you should just leave most of the work to your other teammates, looking carefully how other brawler's are positioned, attacking the ones who are low and pushing solo far from the other teammates (or some throwers as well, since they usually have low HP and hard to attack you directly, you can take a more riskier approach there) (ALSO, be aware of the brawlers having crowd control abilities, since you become like a prey in a lions lair if you suddenly get stopped in the enemy's territory)Since bolt has the trait to charge super by just moving, you should just circle your territory till you get your super (usually takes 30 seconds while staying constantly at max speed), and now that's where you can usually do a full push.
Imo, the best way to start to push is from the sides, since going middle makes you more vulnerable to damage. BUT, don't use super the instant you step into the enemy side. Only use it when you know you'll get hella damaged (since you get 40% damage reduction during super) or you know someone would use crowd control to stop you (that's where the star power shines).
Also, don't forget to use your main attack, since you deal more damage when ramming into people.
After killing your enemies, rush back (and use gadget if low on HP). If you have the super ready again, you can usually do a push again, tho be more careful since the enemies would be more aware of what you can do to them, if not, then just move around at your side and charge your super (sometimes pushing into a solo enemy if you can)
And I guess that's it.Other tips:1. Using main attack increases your speed, allowing you to gain speed at the start of the match to secure the blue star more often.
2. Sometimes, you can just move around the enemy's territory without attacking anyone. It can give your teammates a better advantage to their positions, also making your enemies confused.
3. I see that many builds use shield gear. While it does increase survivability, most of bolts features already do that. With his current stats (before nerfs, since he'll definitely get some nerfs), I say that that strength gadget is much better, since I often come in situations where enemies are very low on health and I have to spin around them to kill them, strength gadget would prevent more annoying situations like this.
