BUZZSAW BLITZ
Active skill - Deals 500% damage against 3 random enemies. If the target has an active Burn or Bleed effect, reduce the target's Heal Effect by 30% (if both are active, then reduce by 60%) for 5 rounds. Additionally, for each target, if the attack is a Critical Strike, deal an additional 150% Burn damage and 150% Bleed damage for 3 rounds.
Kodiak energy engine — gains +60 Speed and +50 Energy per Kodiak ally, reaching active skill on round 1 with 2+ Kodiak teammates. Buzzsaw Blitz's 500% to 3 targets with healing reduction pressures healing-dependent bosses.
Scrapyard Skills' counter-attack triples damage vs Mage/Support bosses. Critical Role's Magic Shield protects Spekkio at critical HP thresholds. Key enabler for the Kodiak mech core.
Solid Kodiak brawler option for Club Smash. High base Crit (50) and Armor Break (55) make him a consistent damage dealer. Bleed/Burn immune prevents DoT chip damage.
Magic Shield distribution from Critical Role helps team survivability. However, lacks the defensive staying power or revival mechanics that define top-tier Smash fighters.
Strong anti-healer kit — Buzzsaw Blitz applies up to 60% healing reduction on Bleed+Burn targets. Scrapyard Skills gains ATK/Crit each time an enemy heals, punishing sustain-heavy comps.
Bleed and Burn immunity prevents DoT-based strategies. Viable disruptor but lacks the CC, revive, or burst that top-tier PvP fighters bring.
Capable hard-mode brawler with conditional chain kill potential. Inferno Chain triggers an extra full skill attack (500% × 3 targets) on every kill, enabling snowball wave clears when minions are weak enough to finish off. Molten Fury at 30% per skill target buffs Finisher damage by 10% — a minor but relevant amplifier for Spekkio.
Battle Tested's Kodiak scaling (+60 Speed and +50 Energy per Kodiak ally) ensures early skill activation. Critical Role's Magic Shield on 3 allies when below 50% HP is a useful survival tool. 50% base Crit with +55% Armor Break and self-stacking ATK/Crit ensures consistent damage. However, no CC whatsoever and chain kills being conditional on getting killing blows limit his hard-mode contribution compared to fighters with stuns, AoE, or team sustain.
Strong individual performer in Kodiak sewers thanks to Battle Tested's faction scaling — in a full Kodiak team, +300 Speed and +250 Energy guarantee an immediate Buzzsaw Blitz on turn 1. Chain kills via Inferno Chain create snowball potential. Anti-healer utility (-60% Heal Effect on Burn+Bleed targets) shuts down enemy sustain.
Scrapyard Skills' counter triples against Mage/Support enemies (300% Bleed + 90% Hit reduction). However, the kit is entirely self-oriented — no team healing, no energy generation for allies, no CC, no shields beyond the conditional Magic Shield. The five core sewer slots demand fighters who contribute to team survival, not just individual damage output.
Solid campaign brawler with strong Kodiak synergy but limited late-game utility. Battle Tested's per-ally Energy scaling enables early skill cycling, and Inferno Chain's kill resets create efficient wave clears through midgame. Buzzsaw Blitz's 500% × 3 targets with healing reduction handles sustain-heavy stages.
Magic Shields from Critical Role protect key allies, and 4.37M base HP gives him durability. Falls off past stage 1500 where the lack of reliable CC (no stuns or freezes) limits his contribution against extremely tanky enemies that demand crowd control over raw damage.
