Summary
Kaboom! There's Kanon, I mean... Bonnie! Ha! See what I did there? No? Okay then...

Well, we're talking about Bonnie! She's one of the units imported from Puzzle Trooper, just like the Battle Maidens, Soul Bound Saga units, Nick, etc. She's got some interesting abilities to replicate Shida. That makes her useful in Frontier Hunter, right? Wait... Frontier Hunter Season 14 just ended? Dang... Just missed +5 by a hair... Oh well. Eriole will be mine someday...

Bonnie! Blast your cannon! 3... 2... 1!

Leader Skill
Score: 9/10

Awesome! Bonnie replicates the Ares' Excelsior Leader Skill, but even better. How? Let's do some math here.

If we compare Bonnie's Leader Skill to Ares' Excelsior, we can see that Bonnie boosts BB fill rate by 40% and reduces BC cost by 10%. Let's say we have a unit with an SBB that costs 50 BC. Bonnie reduces that cost down to 45. Each BC collected is worth 1.4 BC. This means that it takes 32.14 BC to fill that unit's SBB gauge.

Now, onto Ares' Excelsior, which boosts BB fill rate by 50%. This means that every BC collected is worth 1.5 BC. Using that same unit with the SBB that costs 50 BC, It takes 33.33 BC to fill that unit's SBB gauge.

Now, we look at the two Leader Skills. Bonnie's Leader Skill is superior over Ares' Excelsior due to the BC cost being the lowest out of the two. It might be a very small difference, but the difference is a lot bigger the higher the BC cost.

Also, it's important to note that this Leader Skill works very well with units that increase BB gauges. Since the BC costs are reduced under this Leader Skill, those effects will have a bigger effect on BB gauges compared to without the BC cost reduction.

Brave Burst
Score: 8/10

Not bad. A 260% damage modifier with a 55% chance of inflicting random status ailments? Sure!

With Bonnie's high Atk stat, Bonnie will be dealing pretty decent damage with this BB. Even better, it's a Fire, Thunder, and Dark attack, which means that this BB will never deal weak damage. Also, considering it has three elements, it has very good coverage for a great number of enemies out there.

The 55% chance is a mediocre probability compared to other status inflicters like Nalmika, Tora, and Semira, but it's still usable. If you are up against bosses that are vulnerable to status ailments, Bonnie can certainly help as she can inflict any status ailment on her BB.

Super Brave Burst
Score: 8/10

A 450% damage modifier with a 55% chance of inflicting random status ailments and more buffs? Sure!

Bonnie packs quite a punch with this SBB. Like her BB, her SBB is a Fire, Thunder, and Dark attack, which means that this SBB will never deal weak damage. On top of that, Bonnie adds Fire, Thunder, and Dark elements to attacks. This is great as units with multiple elemental buffs will never deal weak damage. This is also useful in Frontier Hunter as this will cause a significant increase in points thanks to the elemental weakness hits.

Like her BB, 55% is quite mediocre compared to other meta status inflicters, but still usable, especially against bosses that are vulnerable to certain status ailments.

Ultimate Brave Burst
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Ultimate Brave Burst.

Extra Skill
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Extra Skill.

Arena
Score: 8/10

Bonnie has a 15 BC Drop Check on her normal attack. This is quite small compared to other units and below average. You can fix this by using units with high Drop Checks.

Bonnie's BB and SBB are pretty strong and especially with the fact that these never deal weak damage, KO-ing enemies shouldn't be much of a problem.

As a leader, Bonnie is very useful as her Leader Skill is superior over Ares' Excelsior. This will definitely help get everyone's BB gauges filled and ready for the second turn.

Stats
Score: 8/10

Despite players' disappointment over the Easter units, Bonnie's stats are actually pretty good. Her HP and Def stats are around average, but her Atk is up there. Her Atk helps Bonnie deal a considerable amount of damage with her BB and SBB. Her Rec might be low, but it doesn't serve much of a problem, especially if you're using healers and HC buffers.

In terms of typing, my type preference for Bonnie is...

Anima > Guardian > Lord > Breaker > Oracle

Usefulness
Score: 9/10

Bonnie can be used practically anywhere. Her Leader Skill helps drive the BB gauge momentum for the squad, especially with the fact that this Leader Skill is superior over Ares' Excelsior. Bonnie is also very useful in Frontier Hunter as she adds multiple elements with her SBB, allowing the player to earn a considerable amount of points thanks to elemental weakness hits.

Conclusion
Total Score: 8.3/10

Players seem to underestimate Bonnie a lot. I guess it's because they're too eager for 7* Soul Bound Saga units and Raaga's batch to be released? Who knows? With those two batches coming out, I'm excited nonethesless.

Do you enjoy Easter? Yes! No!
