Combat guides

Read the warning. Pick your moment. Learn the controls and resource systems behind every exchange.

Choose a Boss Lab Brain preset and understand how ordered WHEN → DO rules interact with your machine’s movement and weapons.

Use Dash to change sides, punish committed Rage attacks and create rear damage without mistaking it for invulnerability.

Understand Overdrive charging, its four-second attack window and the range, heat and energy checks that make activation useful.

Learn how Rage charges work, why chassis changes your ability, and how to respond to enemy wind-ups.

Diagnose battle-energy starvation, overheating, range and facing problems before spending Scrap on more damage.

Identify the defense stopping your damage and choose rear pressure, beam weapons, core arcs or a different attack plan.

Turn battle replays into useful build changes by checking range, first module loss, resources and manual control timing.
