## Special Ability

The Tinkerer's special ability is a Flybot. The bot can help you venture by being your loyal defender, brave warrior, or even support you by spraying you with beneficial potions. It can also assist in many other ways yet to be discovered.

The Flybot has four different modes that the player can switch between at will:

• In **Defensive** mode, the Flybot will only attack enemies that you're already in combat with, but won't fly off and start fights on its own.

• In **Offensive** mode, the Flybot will attack any nearby creature regardless of whether they're aware of you or not.

• In **Manual** mode, you control the Flybot directly, letting you move, attack, and pick up items with it, but you lose control of your Kid while doing so.

• In **Idle** mode, the Flybot enters an inactive standby state: You can use this mode to tell the bot to wait somewhere out of the way while you go do something dangerous. You can also interact with the Tinker-Bot in this mode to manage its held item or modify its behavior.

When the Flybot is destroyed, it breaks into three pieces that are scattered around the level. In order to restore it you'll need to reassemble the parts and then take a moment to power it up again. When you repair your Flybot, you'll become mentally exhausted, until you enter the exit door. If the Flybot breaks again while you have a headache might result in lower quality results - or else come at a high cost.

In addition to their Flybot companion, Tinkerers also have a chance to start with items unique to their class, called Contraptions. There are three kinds of contraptions so far - Grenades, Wind-up Turtles and Springs- but more are planned for future updates.

## Subclasses

 Level 2
* Increase Flybot offensive and health
 Level 3
* Increase Flybot offensive, health and speed

## Uses for Broken Flybot Parts

These require you to have the subclass Mechanic with Tinkerer in order to be used :

* Propeller : When thrown it spins and comes back like a boomerang, deals no additional damage.
* Engine : Can be primed to make for an explosive, it is destroyed after use and can only be recovered by descending/looking for another way.
* Chassis : Has no use as a broken part other than assembling the Flybot back together.

If a Flybot part gets assembled into the chassis it cannot be used with Mechanic unless broken.

## Special Bot Parts

The Bot can be modified through the use of special parts found in Tinkerer Shops and the Grumbul workshop Pre-made room. These parts can be attached to the bot by having the living bot pick the part up, or by assembling the part together with the other two required parts.
