Welcome to the latest in our series of articles about the Transformers Earth Wars mobile game where we take a look at the best Power Cores for each TFEW bot. While our staff will never claim to have all of the answers for TFEW, we do our homework and test out each bot to ensure we are making only the best recommendations. The goal of this series is to help all players of TFEW improve their use of Power Cores and COMBAT Bots with specific bots to enhance their roster.
Snapdragon is a rare bot with no allegiance and can be played on both the Autobot and Decepticon sides, just like his fellow Triplechanger Doubledealer. This unique Triplechanger has two special abilities, Fire Ball and Mach 3. Fire Ball reads “You set foes on fire in a straight line dealing damage over 10 secs. Follow with Mach 3: Flying over targets under fire make them explode dealing damage in a small area.” Meanwhile, Mach 3 reads “Rush in, reducing your foes speed to 50% along the way for 15 secs (0% on second hit). Follow with Fire Ball: Deal damage over 10 secs to targets under the 50% speed reduction effect (2x dmg on 0% speed targets).” So which Power Cores are best for Snapdragon to best enhance his abilities?
Best Power Cores for Snapdragon:
Onyx Prime – Snapdragon is a Triplechanger bot that has a strong DPS which can be nicely enhanced by an Attack Core. While multiple Prime Cores would be highly effective, and the Onyx Prime core may be the best of them for Snapdragon, this bot’s offense should be built upon. The Special Command – Attack core is also a solid one if used with multiple other Special bots, but the Attacks core is simple and effective.
Other Cores: most Prime Cores, Attack, Special Command – Attack
Best COMBAT Bots for Snapdragon:
Trenchfoot – The use of COMBAT bots is always a tricky subject as in some cases they can fundamentally change the type of bot you have. An early strategy was to use Flak/ to turn a high DPS bot with strong survivability into a Gunner-style bot and thus gain range from their normal attacks and this still works in many scenarios today. For Snapdragon, he is a Triplechanger bot who utilizes both fire and speed reduction from his attacks. As a result, a COMBAT bot like Trenchfoot is a good use given Trenchfoot deals more damage to targets under fire, acid, amp or speed reduction.
