Black Salvo vs Taipan
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:13 pm
I have basically every advantage i need in this fight, with more speed and traction, equal torque, and a design that lets me escape his lifter fairly easily as long as he only gets under my hinged wedgelets.
Attack from an angle, scoop him up, follow where he might try to j-hook, and push him into a hazard or house robot, whichever's closer. the saws look especially nice if i can damage a wheel or something. his easiest wincon is to somehow j-hook off of me, get me side-on and push me into a housebot or something, so if he ever escapes I want to back off slightly and watch what he does. odds are, he'll do this same thing the second time he escapes me, and that'll be my cue to intercept and get a really good attack. as long as i stay aggressive and watch out for creative uses of his lifter to try and climb over me or something (if this does happen, reverse and attack while his wheels are in the air), there isn't a lot he can do to pull off a win. just stay wary of any hazard or house-robot camping, and don't get too cocky. there's three minutes for him to find a way to somehow cripple me before i do him, so don't give him any ideas.
If he does get under me, reverse off and j-hook away, always sure to mix up my direction and angle so he can't use my own tactics against me. i'm faster anyway but it doesn't hurt to keep up best practices.
