Question on Rhinox's Sig

i can never understand how Rhinox's sig works, in particular when does it trigger, and how to fight him:
Passive: Rhinox ekes out extra performance from Shield Buffs, further reducing damage to 60% of the opponent's Attack Rating. When reducing the damage suffered by an attack, the extra strain causes them to explode, inflicting 52~160.9% Attack as Shock Damage.
- it CAN trigger with normal melee attacks
- it MAY trigger more with medium and critical melee attacks?
- it MAY trigger more if a melee attack buff is active?
- it ALMOST ALWAYS trigger with melee heavy and specials
So does it mean if i do NOT want it trigger at all (high level AM) then i HAVE to only melee him when he's blocking to remove the shield first?

It's based on your attack DAMAGE..why heavies and sp will 100% trigger. Scouts have a 50% chance for it to not trigger but #KabamRNG
It's under his abilities:
While Rhinox's Shield is active, powerful enemy attacks cannot deal more than 80% of the opponent's Attack Rating in a single hit.
That usually does happen, because critical hits tend to deal more than 80% of base damage (60% if Rhinox's signature is awakened). But as Voltron stated, the trigger is the percent of your bot's base damage that the attack deals -- not whether or not it's a critical hit.
