As you order your bots into battle, it helps to get to know them!

Lets start with something they all have, Stats!

• Attack: Increases damage dealt
• Defense: Reduces damage received
• Speed: Increases movement speed
• Jump: Increases max jump height
  
• Special: Enhances  the special properties of each bot. (I'll explain this more per bot below)
  

• Besides these effects, stats often alter other parts of a bot's abilities and behaviors as well, so keep an eye out!
  
• You can also set a stat to zero ("offlining") to raise the bots
  current max level, allowing you to allot more points than normal to other stats!
  
• As pictured above, each bot has letter gradings for how
  effective they are with any given stat! Spot their strengths and weaknesses!

Now lets meet the Bots:

M1:

• Humanoid bot that uses equipment and carts (Cartridges storing ability altering programs) to conquer! Your average protagonist
• M1's special generally increases the effectiveness of their equipment and carts

BallBot:

• A bouncy, high mobility bot that charges up its jumps and attacks to ricochet off of enemies and surfaces!
• Attacks can be aimed in 8 directions, depending on the direction held when attack is released
• If Ballbot is on the ground and down is held when an attack is started, they will perform a special attack!
• Attacks can be canceled after the first rebound by pressing attack again
• If Ballbot is hit hard enough they will be automatically launched into a counter rebound
• For Ballbot, special generally enhances charging and bouncing powers

Cone:

• A bot specialized in defensive and ranged maneuvers, they can tread up and over most surfaces (including ceilings!)
• Can shoot a series of shots in 8 directions (Aims the same as BallBot)
• Cone can hide in their shell for a large defense boost!
• If Cone is on a wall or ceiling,  and in their shell, pressing jump will initiate a devastating dropping attack!
• For Cone, special generally increases their defense and offensive capabilities!

Remember, even though each bot has clear strengths and weakness, they all have multiple valid builds and play styles!
