Guide
This is a hit-and-run build for your favorite rock crab friend.
1.) Grind until you at least get Shell Smash. I find the most luck with jungle or bottom lane. I usually prefer Rock Slide for the early Lillipup kill, but you can choose Fury Cutter if you're laning.
2.) Once you have full build with Shell Smash and X-Scissor, your job is to chase down and pin targets. You don't want to be in the middle of the fight, you want to flank enemies with your Shell Smash speed and push them into your allies with X-Scissor. You're awesome at chasing with Shell Smash and Float Stone's speed boost, so don't be afraid to go pick off stragglers.
3.) If you get in a tight spot, time your Shell Smash to evade CC and zoom back to munch on some fruit or return to base. Crustle is really good at escaping if you can nail the timing on Shell Smash for that 'unstoppable' window.
Remember this pattern to master the art of the Boulder Crab: zoom in, beat up people, zoom out.
