First off, Happy Easter my friend! So, everybody's favorite fox eh? On my privateer, I have given her burst fire 2, Overwatch 3, Burst fire 2, double tap 2. And yes, I have not given her her last promotion, because it A. Gives you a horrible epic(Basically Riposte), takes waaaaaaaaaay too long, and it only gives you 1 epic, and there aren't any good choices left.
Good luck in the spiral!

A lot. Overwatch 3 reduces accuracy, burst fire 2 gives you 3 extra hits and double tap is just good.

Depending on what class you play, you're going to want to build her a little bit differently. Return Fire is useless; her dodge is terrible so it'll only trigger once in a blue moon. I play almost exclusively PvE so my decisions aren't really colored by the PvP realm. My three leveled pirates all did similar builds:

Swashbuckler (maxed) has Double Tap 2, Overwatch 3, Burst Fire 2, and Quick Draw. She's a reserve companion on this particular character (Misty runs a full swashbuckler crew) but this setup has worked very well for me.

Buccaneer (maxed) has Double Tap 2, Overwatch 2, Burst Fire 2, and Quick Draw 2. Not entirely sure why I built her differently here, but I think it had something to do with the fact that Bonnie was the only ranged unit I had running, and she needed a bit more oomph when she was shot at in MooShu and Marleybone.

Musketeer (as of writing, pirate is level 56 and Bonnie is level 53) has Double Tap 2, Overwatch, Burst Fire 2, and Quick Draw. When she hits 55 and promotes after that, I plan on adding another rank of Quick Draw and probably Overwatch, so she'll be the same as the buccaneer's. She's also a reserve unit on this character, so I don't bring her out much, but she works well for her current level.

I hope this is helpful to you!

Riposte? Hoodonerd, riposte one of the BEST epics in the game, not one of the worst. And the fact that bonnie is the only musketeer able to interact with melee is pretty cool to me. Plus, why AVOID getting another epic? It just makes bonnie one bit better! Even so, I do agree with you on what epics you gave Bonnie. Hope to friend ye in the skyways!

Yes Blaze, usually riposte is the coolest thing since pockets on jeans, but now with the lady fox in question. Why? Because her dodge is something in the negatives, she will pretty much never dodge, meaning that you just waisted an hour of your life promoting her. Also, if you dodge a buck or buckler, you will either A. Trigger a Veng strike and relentless combo, or B. Trigger a riposte and relentless combo. Simply put, there is no reason to promote Bonnie unless you're a privy

Quick draw 2 is an automatic useless bonnie in Ranked against most privy witch and musket. You're tempting them to kill your unit that's able to heal, reduce dodge, and chain! with their nausica. Since Overwatch and then all of her quick draws activate, she's a goner pretty much.

Privy:
Overwatch 3,
Burst Fire 2
Double Tap 2
Return fire (i know it seems kinda useless, but trust me it happens, especially against nausica, since with espirit and overwatch 3, chances are, she's probably going to miss at least once in her chain)
Stock Assault

Witch and musket
Same as above, except for Double Tap 3 instead of return fire

Buck and buckler don't really have an excuse to use her in rank tbh

But anyways, although bonnie is a great companion, if possible, i highly recommend just not using her in rank if you have some specific companions, like nausica, goro, exeter, and what not. Although, she is pretty good against buccaneers in spar, and just no scratch battles in spar as well, so.......

Stock Assault is an Automatic hit, so triggering a Riposte combo is impossible with that epic. Veng combos are annoying, but if it is "once in a blue moon", you shouldn't worry about it too much. Plus, it may be only one epic now, but what about for future promotions? You might want to reconsider keeping her the way she is ;)

Stock assault is her kryptonite, otherwise she is too strong in PvE, the extra epic helps her combat more of everything so try it on one of your characters

Also the power which guarantees stock assault is great for moving and attacking

On top of all this, once promoted she looks really cool!
