Robot Wars - Advanced Destruction (USA)

Whether you’re new to Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction or a returning player looking to claim the championship title, these pro tips will help you outplay every opponent and unlock all of the game’s hidden content. First, when building a custom robot, avoid the common mistake of prioritizing raw firepower over balance. Many new players load their build with the heaviest possible weapon and leave no weight for speed or armor, leaving them vulnerable to fast opponents that can outmaneuver and destroy them before they land a single hit. If you prefer an aggressive playstyle, opt for a vertical spinner weapon paired with medium front armor and 70% or higher movement speed. Vertical spinners deal consistent splash damage, tear through light and medium armor quickly, and can often flip opponents upside down in one hit, leaving them unable to attack. For a more defensive, trap-focused playstyle, go for a low wedge front paired with a rear flipper. This build lets you push opponents straight into arena hazards like pits and spinning spikes, securing an easy knockout without needing to trade heavy damage. In single-player tournament mode, always assess your opponent before launching an attack. If you’re facing a slow, heavily armored robot, circle around their side and rear to attack thinner armor, rather than charging their reinforced front head-on. Always lure opponents into hazards whenever possible: a one-hit knockout from a pit trap or spike is far faster than whittling down a full armor bar, saving your own robot from unnecessary damage. To unlock the game’s hidden bonus robots, you need to complete the Grand Championship on the hardest difficulty setting, so use early tournament matches to test your build and adjust your weight distribution before facing the top competitors. In local multiplayer matches, never stay still. Constant movement forces your opponent to miss attacks and makes you a far harder target to hit, and you can pick off weak points as they overcommit
