Fork Bomb has a powerful hammersaw, but my weapon is more damaging (+1pt weapon bonus) to his 7 armor, plus I have more reach. My biggest concern is to watch out for him angling in on me, but I have ways to counter that:
Start out of my circle and approach Fork Bomb head-on and immediately take a shot with the axe, then back away. Repeat this if I'm getting hits. If FB tries to angle in on my sides, turn in his direction to counter, then fire the axe. Also, he may try to approach with the saw leading to act as a VS. If he does this, approach the same way as if he was leading forks-first and try to get some shots with the axe while keeping my distance so that his weapon can't reach me. In terms of damage, I can deal 6 damage to his chassis and he can deal 5 to mine. He also may have a smaller 'footprint' to hit, but his chassis is very compact and I should definitely hit something critical in 1-2 blows. I should be able to take him out first and do so by the halfway point in this match.
Now the arena - with each hit I get on fork Bomb, I gain control of a set of roots and I will activate a set (or multiple sets), as a defensive measure to keep FB at bay while I can still deliver blows with the hammer. Try to get him high-centered on them, if possible - that should be good for 1-2 free blows with the axe. Or, if I'm reeling from his weapon, use the roots to just gain some distance and a quick 'breather' to regroup. Only use Embrace the darkness as a last resort (for instance, if I'm in a corner and I know that FB would not be able to get behind me, then I can use this and just go nuts with my axe, again, this is last-resort strategy).
Other than that, don't get myself high-centered on any roots that FB triggers (try to stay away from his side of the arena if he's gotten hits on me to prevent this). If he uses Embrace the Darkness, use the same strat as if I was using it, myself. And, lastly, don't drive dumb.
GL, Hii!
