Most of the time, higher tier monsters have all the abilities of preceding tiers, with increased intensity.
Bombie Traits by Tier
All Tiers
Bombies are Zombies that explode shortly after contact with knights or when sufficiently damaged by any weapon. They have far less health than other monsters and can be easily dispatched at distance. They can be resurrected by Grim Totems and Deadnaughts.
Tier 2 & Tier 3
Shoots bullets in cardinal directions upon death.
Strategy
Guide: Bombie Combat
The easiest method is to just avoid them entirely, however, one should keep aware of the bullets they release upon exploding, as they are easy to run in to if many have died and will wear your shield down quickly when you need it most. Simply running and not not stopping (and obviously not looping back around to them) is the easiest way to avoid damage from them. This is not always feasible though, as running around and around won't accomplish much. You must decide how to budget running and fighting based on your fighting capabilities and style to maximize your chances, and your team's chances of winning the level and surviving.
