Tips and Tricks

(Feel free to add your own tips/tricks)

Are you having trouble surviving? Then here are some ways to get past struggles, ordered nicely between Arena, Chapter 4, Challenge, and Robots.

## Arena

* In a 1v1 sword robot duel, carry on swiping down. You will block each others hits until they jump or swipe to the side, and then your hit will go in first.

* If you have no clones left or you are really close to the end of the level, you may want to use hazards to your advantage. For example, lead your enemies to a saw blade and jump over it. Your opponents likely won't be able to time their jump correctly and will get sliced. Kick is especially useful for this.
* The Bow is a useful tool for Spider-Trons, the range can kill them faster than you can with a sword. It is also incredibly effective against flame raptors, though armored ones still might cause a headache.
* Commentatron and Analysis-Bot provide insight of what the next level will be from time to time. There will also be screens of the next level on either side of the hall to the elevator. Upgrade accordingly.
* Go into wind-up before they do and attack the moment before their attack stops.
* win.
* The head is unprotected in most battles causing swords and spears to be good against armour.
* Hammer knock over armoured opponents on hit.
* Armoured opponents have a weak spot below their arm when they swing a hit letting you ignore their armour if you can use it well.

## Chapter 4

* Is the Captain too hard to defeat when battling with it's allies? Take out the Captain first (preferably with a bow and arrow). You can also use a sword to deflect the arrow that they shoot at the start into their face to kill them instantly in endless mode.
* Against the command bots, you should destroy them with a sword, but a bow will work nicely if you have lots of energy. Spam them with arrows. Hammer however, works well when they charge/knock, just side-step and time a side-swing properly and then it is a ker-krunch.
* If you are against a bot that may seem like a powerful combatant, let it kill you. Just make sure that you have plenty of lives on the top left of your screen. Be warned that in some stages you shouldn't take control of a hammer bot because they're big and you'll become an easy target for archers. Once you take control, lay into your targets!

## Robots

* The Spear Bot deals low damage, but has great range.Jump around and swipe with a sword or hammer if it has a shield.
* Hammer Bots have a bit of a swing time, and need two arms. If you can't slice them in half, focus on one arm.
* In Clone Drone, the only real disadvantage is a lost leg. A lost arm only applies to Archers and Hammer robots.
* Archer robots become very deadly in numbers unless you can deflect them. Take care of them quickly.
* Jetpack Bots can't turn quickly enough if they miss.
* When jetpack bots zoom at you, carefully position a sword as to slice through them on their own force. WARNING: if you can't do it just DODGE.
* Get a shield if you can't get swords or hammers or bows as it will protect your body but DO NOT attack frequently if archers are present in effective numbers.
* Armor bots are vulnerable to bow with time slow as their heads and midsection are exposed.
* When dealing with hammer bots get a shield and when they are almost on you switch to shield if you havent already have.
* When meleeing STs6+, get jetpack if possible and swipe the four legs until they are enough to be smacked or sliced.
* You can one shot the spidertron 6k with a flame+1 width arrow placed between the eyes.
* You can kill armored enemies in one hit, just point at their waist.

## Challenges

* The Greatsword Only Challenge is essentially a big endless match without the benefits of the regular sword, that of which there are none.
* The Laser Only Challenge provides you with a powerful Laser exclusive to the match. Line up your targets correctly, as once you fire, if you haven't focused on energy, you need to recharge.
* The Bow Only Challenge is easier than most others, as the Bow's range is only hindered by energy. Aim Time will be useful. If you wield a bow, jumping will consume energy.
* The Hammer Only Challenge requires you to angle your hips so that the hammer will hit early. If you do this right, you can save yourself from death.
* Both Flame Raptor challenges are difficult with only melee weapons. A bow can stay out of reach of both the Flame Raptor's breath and it's spin attack.
* In the Mind Transfer Challenge, all robots have kick, so try to avoid chopping off enemies legs, just in case you are slain by them
* In the amour only challenge, hammers and swords are effective. Spears and bows can also be good if you can aim at the waist/head well.
* In the Spidertron challenge, you can hit Spidertron-5000 with a sword if you jump, even when its legs are extended, you can also kick spidertron to push it away, this will not stun it.
* In the Zombie Enemy Challenge, you can get a bow, and shoot at enemies without being discovered, fire weaponry is effective as well.
