Risk-rewarding assassin
Runs in and trade life with key target

• Explosion trait synergises with active, but conditional
Weakness:
• Active can be bodyblocked
• No control to explosion timing
• Anything other than active and Explosion trait are terrible

See Metrics for definition on classes and rating

PvP draft mode

• Powerful active with 5-hex range to one-shot the hiding Carry but trading its life
• If it dies using its actvie, death explosion is buffed for 50%
• Yet, it needs a walkable path to its target for active to work, i.e. opponent can bodyblock or leverage terrain and hex effect

Guild Raids

• Insufficient output and survivability for 5 rounds

Arena

• Not as valuable as PvP as opposing AI is very aggressive and carries do not hide

Events

• Very diverse arsenal (multi-hit, ranged, direct damage, chain, projectile, Big Target, Mechanical)
• Uncertainty to stay alive without repairing
• Explosion hurts allies

Skills Analysis

At Rare, Silver 1; Damage against 300-armor target;

Comments: Powerful active to snipe important target and suppress an area, but impractical passive

• Active     - Good
• 5-hex range for massive damage (200-524 after armor)
• In PvP Common level, he can take down the following target:
• Archimatos
• Certus
• Sho'syl
• Calandis
• Varro Tigurius
• Vindicta
• Cannot move in the same round
• Can be body-blocked by opponents if the only path is blocked
• Passive   - Sub-optimal
• Ignore 108 armor and reduce 55 armor per attack
• Reduction applies after the attack, benefit subsequent attacks (not hits)
• In PvP or Arena, Snappawrecka will not survive long to deal enough armor reductions
• For reference, Haarken's active reduces 134 armor
• Guild bosses are immune to armor reduction

Traits Analysis

At Rare 6 Star, Silver 1; Damage against 300-armor target;

Comments: 

• Dakka
• More hits at range of 2
• Not practical as Snappawrecka's damage is very low
• Big Target
• Niche use to protect characters from ranged fire, but risk it exploding
• Trait for events
• Explosion
• 25% max health (242) of Snapawrecka as Direct damage to all characters around
• If it dies from its active, damage is buffed by 50% (363)
• Mechanical
• Can be repaired, cannot be healed
• Trait for events

Synergy

Excluding flat damage buff for obvious synergy

Defensive buff - To stay alive before using active

• Varro passive for 50% block
• Azrael passive for more damage block
• Gibbascrapz passive for extra armor
• Varro passive for damage block
• Sibyll passive for per-hit damage reduction
• Ancient Thoread active for blocking
• Big Target trait for hit reduction

Improvement

With its underwhelming stats and potential glitches in active's damage, the following is what Librarius INSIGHT considers as viable to improve character's viability

• Revamp passive that synergise it running into enemy line and being random
• e.g. percentage chance on explosion after movement, triple after active
• e.g. Extra Armor Plating with damage reduction, and goes off after active 
• Complete revamp of character
• e.g. equipping a Rokkit Launcha with better penetration damage type to compensate low damage
