Heads up, Pilots! We’ve already taught you how to construct a War Robot, but let’s dig a little deeper into what makes them tick (tick, boom!).
Every Robot you create has its own Class—a distinction that describes how it should best be utilized on the battlefield. There are four unique Classes, and a Mixed Class (for those with a penchant for the peculiar).
FLANKER
A Flanker is well-equipped to engage enemies in hit-and-run attacks, veering off from the main course the rest of the team takes. While their allies distract, Flankers can ambush unsuspecting foes with their speed and maneuverability.
Phantom is a short-range Flanker, capable of rushing the enemy, causing havoc, then teleporting to safety to restore shields before repeating the operation.
DEFENDER
A Defender supports allies and acts as a bullet sponge. This Class excels at evading enemy projectiles and remaining strong in prolonged, close-range battles.
Bulwark is a Defender War Robot—self-sufficient and easy to handle.
ASSAULT
Assault Robots are good all-rounders–well-armored, versatile, and capable of putting more than a few dents in enemy hulls.
Bulgasari is a prime example of an Assault War Robot. Its high mobility means it can effectively counter flankers, and chase tacticians out of inaccessible positions.
TACTICIAN
Tactician Robots support from high ground using their large fuel capacity to scout further afield to find ideal sniper positions.
Harpy is a Tactician War Robot, supporting allies by picking off enemies at long-range. It’s able to escape close combat quickly thanks to its fuel stores.
MIXED
Mixed Class Robots don't fit into any one particular Class. Assembled from Modules of different Classes, they combine all the advantages and disadvantages of their components. Create your own unique build in the Workshop and see what works for you!
