USE THE SHORT LIFTER JAW AND LONG PONTOONS PLEASE.

Unfortunately, Zadkiel’s stats mean his weapon AND DRIVE will only last for five hits. I just need to make sure those hits don’t kill me. His blade hits fairly high, but my pontoons extend fairly high too.

If he spins up all the way, close the clamp and raise the lifter all the way to get it out of the way. Advance cautiously, and watch out for fancy juking maneuvers. Don’t angle in, just try to hit him approximately straight-on. Unless I’m WAY out of position, my pontoons will deflect his blade without damaging me much. He’ll send himself flying, and in this very cramped arena he’s likely to bounce into the arena walls (tracks won’t help, since he’ll become airborne when hitting a wedge), so those five hits won’t all be on me.

It’s also possible he’ll try throttling his weapon down, or even turn it off entirely. If he does this I can be more aggressive. Yes, he’s got better control, but I’m much faster. He might be able to angle in a bit, but not actually flank me. Throttling down enough to not self-destruct will also mean he has trouble damaging me even if he catches the corners of my pontoons or the (flat) sides of my chassis. If he’s spinning slowly, deflect him into the wall to stop his blade, then grab him. If he turns his weapon off, he has a huge speed disadvantage, less torque, no ability to high-center me, and thanks to his tracks his wedges are 4WD static. Do clampbot things: get under him, pick him up, and feed him into the weapons of the house robots – even not at full power they’ll do some damage against 6 armor. Turn him over, suplex, spin and throw, etc. with an emphasis on keeping him from spinning up. In the last 30 seconds, definitely try to feed him to the housebots.

Don’t do stupid things like camping in the narrows, clamping while he’s spinning, driving into hazards, or anything like that.

Good luck etc. etc.

Now this match seems like a real pickle. I'll really have to make my shots count in this case. He may be faster, but I have the better overall control, which will more likely see him commit maybe a few more driving errors than my bot, which I can hopefully take advantage of.

So the main tactic here will be, spin up to full speed and keep moving around as quick as my slow ass will carry me. Aim to keep moving and have him guess my movements and try to sucker him in. If I can, get a big shot on that jaw mechanism, take it and try to tear that thing out of place or even off if possible. After seeing to that, give him a massive shot for good measure. And if I can follow up, do so. But after the 3rd shot, switch to a revving tactic of not going full speed on the spinner so as to not KO myself here, and try to last till the JD. Maybe try to angle in from there on and get defensive whacks in, keeping my distance so I can get spun up a good amount and keep him at an arms length and guessing.

Defensively, avoid the house robots at all costs, if I can defensively hit him into them however, do so. Avoid getting wedged or flipped whenever possible. If flipped I should be able to comfortably self right with the weapon and the poles aid. Play a more defensive attacker in this game and keep moving. Keep him guessing.

Good luck!
