Roller

The Roller is a transport part that is part of the subcategory of specialized parts.
== Description ==
The Roller boasts 8 health points, a movement capability of 3, consumes 4 energy and 7 credits, and has 2 uses. It can move diagonally, double its movement on roads, but cannot enter rough terrain. It cannot move and then attack on the same turn. Additionally, it grants a +1 range increase to weapons at base, increasing to +2 at level 2. At level 3, it provides a +3 damage buff to weapons.
Mastering the Roller is a challenging task due to its unique limitation of choosing between moving or attacking each turn. This limitation necessitates efficient actions to maximize its performance. To compensate for this drawback, the Roller directly enhances the effectiveness of weapons, reducing the need for frequent movement. Players who struggle with the Roller may opt for an upgraded Turbo or Echo body, enabling it to move after taking actions and allowing for kiting enemies similarly to a Walker. Emphasizing range by equipping a Ranger body and nearby Eagle Eye bodies can provide a total of +5 range with all weapons. The Roller can also act as a mothership for drones, as its range bonus affects their deployment range. Weapons like Air Strike or Mine Launcher excel on this transport, as they can target enemies before they approach, although mines do not benefit from the damage bonus. Area-of-effect (AoE) weapons also shine on the Roller, benefiting from extra range and damage while the Roller repositions during cooldown periods. Combining the Roller with the movement utility of the Teleporter, the Tank series' Push ability, or the Claw can allow it to move and still perform attacks effectively.
