Special Properties

Ricochet's Deflector Shield overrides all normal Shields.

Strategies

Ricochet's performance is not too shabby, and possesses a relatively good special ability that can be deadly in the right hands. Although it loses out other potential attributes a normal Shield may have, the nature of Cannons easily compensates for this. A well-used Deflector Shield can not only protect the vehicle itself but also cripple any attackers by returning any projectiles as a form of improvised offense, able to sometimes unintentionally hit other targets. While one projectile might not seem like much, the Deflector Shield makes it work as Cannon variants already deal heavy damage on their own. Any vehicle dependent on Cannon variants will be sorely mistaken and dearly missed as their barrage gets neutralized, hitting themselves in the worst case scenario before they can react. the icing on the cake is that Deflector Shields additionally inflict 1.5 damage in a relatively large AOE when it expires, allowing it to escape even if overwhelmed.

What stops Ricochet from being perfect is its performance. It isn't completely atrocious with the relatively high spawn chance of Deflector Shields, but its generally mediocre stats do not mesh well with its large profile. Outside of defending itself with Deflector Shields, Ricochet is unable to aggressively pursue opponents without wandering into the line of fire and is forced to play defensively most of the time. Its low mass also works against the vehicle, being easily displaced by collisions and can be thrown around by Spikes even when protected, meaning the moment it becomes vulnerable it gets focused down. Since Deflector Shields do not inherit the original Shield's modifiers, Ricochet lacks efficient means of harassment if other methods of offense are used. Lastly, Ricochet's Deflector Shield is no match against the likes of Shadow and Gigawatt, both of which not only serve as its direct counters but also outclass Ricochet if owned, as their vastly superior performance dramatically reduces dependence on their ability.

In all, Ricochet does surprisingly well in firefights with the prevalence of cannon variants, but is hampered greatly by its subpar performance for an Epic vehicle.
