How should others fight against your robot?įor the game to remain balanced there should be a way to outplay any robot - that's why you also have to consider your robot's weak points when designing it. Now, what if Hellburner doesn't have enough durability to survive its own blast – can it still use the ability? If it does, will it survive? If it gets destroyed before the explosion goes off – will Hellburner explode twice?Īnd so on! There are always lots of corner cases to consider. Here's an example: Hellburner's ability makes an explosion after a short delay, damaging enemies within a long radius, while also chipping some damage from Hellburner itself. How do you activate and control the abilityįor every ability effect there are always lots of "what if" questions - nobody escapes that.Be creative!Ĭoming up with an ability is tricky.
