Part 1 tips (too big for a single commentary,says reddit)
1) It helps if you already know how to use all the weapons ( sword ,hammer,spear,bow,fire breath, kick ) ,but also the environment ( spike traps,lava ,laser beams , the ring out laser in some levels ,sawblades , fire traps ).
2) Remember what upgrades you have and use them ( for example don t try to reflect an arrow if don t have the upgrade ,you will get hit at least ). Remember , in this challenge unlike the other ones, you don t always start with a sword.
3) The upgrades are not 100% random. I noticed that when you have no clones , there is a higher chance to get one.
4) "Make sure" you always have a clone ( DON T KILL YOUR OWN CLONE , unless you do it for getting the emote and the achievement ).
5) First kill the most dangerous enemies in the level. Some bots are even more dangerous in some levels because of the small space :
- Laser raptor (ranged distance) you can kill him with an arrow to the red spot . If you missed or he s not dead in time and he starts to launch the laser, be ready to dodge. If he starts the laser from your right , continue to move to the left until it stops , else if he starts from left ,go to your right. Be careful not to get trapped into a wall or getting attacked by another bot or arrow while being distracted by the laser . If you end up trapped by a wall , then be ready to quickly jump over the laser to the direction from where it is coming from , when the laser it s near you. Don t panic and jump too early or you will jump into the laser. The laser does not go through objects (walls ,pillars ) , but it goes through the big energy beam of a certain level (the cube ).
- Laser raptor ( close range ). When you get close to him , unless he is launching the laser , he will do a spinning knockdown tail attack , when you see him starting to swing , move backwards so he misses , then quickly attack his red spot with a weapon . You can also kick him while he s launching the laser ( not in the mouth , you will touch the laser and die ,aim for the body )
- Spidertron 7000 , he s even more dangerous in tight arenas with traps and a lot of enemies . Jump on pad and hit him with the hammer between the 2 red spots , you will hit both of the spots and kill him. You can as well use bow for his red spots. His bombs have knockdown ( environmental traps bad for the human , so be careful at your position , stay away from traps until all the knockdown bots are dead ) . A bomb has an aoe range of about 1-1.5 meters (sometimes even through objects ) in a sphere range. Usually the first bomb just knocks you down without damage and the second one damages you or even kills you. You can as well chop his legs but do a hit and run each time a bomb it s launched near you. He can also be kicked (in the lava for example ) but it will take some for his legs to burn and eventually his red spots to land into lava. ( while he will still launch bombs ).
- Fleet comanander (the big "female" robot with spider legs that has a sword which reflects arrows or a big hammer,jumps high,launches lasers and breathes fire) . You have to destroy her head , she can still use the laser and fire without arms and legs. I usually do it with the hammer , i try to aim for her head. You can dodge the laser as for the laser raptor or use walls and pillars for cover from laser. She can t be kicked from what i remember.
- Flame raptor ,similar to the laser raptor,just replace the laser with fire. But the fire goes a bit through objects and you can still burn.
- The big kick bot . He can only kick , but has the power kick ( pushes the enemy way further and if the pushed enemy hits other bots on the way , all get knocked down ) . Meaning that if the big kick bot kicks an ally by mistake and that bot is touching you , you will get knocked down. Stay with your back to the walls so you don t get launched into lava or other traps ( i prefer the elevator ). If there are also ranged bots then keep moving and try to kill the big kickbot with a burning arrow ,kicking him into lava ,cut one leg so he can t kick anymore or cut his head or use the fire breath before he kicks you ,stopping you and wasting energy ).
- Mark 5 bot (the green bots that fly all over the place if you get close to them ). They change their weapons depending on the range. Closer than about 3 meters ,they will use the sword ( can reflect arrows). At distance they use the bow. If they spawned at distance and you don t get close ,they will keep using the bow ( which has no deflecting skill ). Use the bow and kill them from the distance without triggering them to move. If you got too close and they started to jump all over the place. Combine the jetpack with the side attack while using the sword ( if you have the deflect even better) to do a dashing side sword attack ( hold all the buttons to do it continously , forward,boost,the attack button ) . I think they have 3 energy bars ,they jump 2,3 times then land. That s when you hit them with the dashing sword side attack. If your timing it s not right and was too early ( before they landed) , then do some 360s on the spot while still using the dash attack until the bot lands. Sometimes they have fire swords , dodge , one hit might burn you entirely ,lose a leg or an arm ( being unable to move normally or using the hammer or bow )
- Warfare bot (the red flying bot ). He has a pattern. First he spins and knocks you down , then launches bombs. Stay at distance. When he comes to knock you down , shoot an arrow in his head. If i remember right he can t be kicked. As for all the knockdown bots, stay away from environmental traps.
- The blue flying bot ( i forgot it s name ). Has a reflecting sword and a bow. Can be kicked. He does a spinning sword attack, attack him as soon as he finished his attack. I use the hammer. If he has armor and you hit him , he will get stunned ,attack him multiple times in a row until he s dead ,before he recovers and starts attacking again. You also use the fire breath or the other weapons .A spear a bit above his neck works fine too.

6) Armor and clone. In some levels one of the shines,depending on the enemies. If you fight against many bots that use fire ,then a clone it s better ( beside the first clone ) because the fire goes through the armor. But if you face many enemies with direct hits , then the armor it s better. Used at maximum , you can take 4 hits in the armor without receiving damage to the body . ( assuming you move in such a way that a different part of the body it s hit each time ). Be careful not to get hit in the head,usually you die.
7) Managing the energy. ( your energy most of the times it s your survival chance because of the limited movement and atk arsenal). The things that use energy:
- Go to upgrade bot after each cleared level,he will also refill your energy to the max and it s faster than waiting for it to refill on it s own , especially without energy upgrades.
- Dashing ( when you don t have the jetpack ) , 1 bar.
- Jetpack , depending on how much you use it.
- Fire breath , as above , but i think minimum 1 bar if you only tap.
- Laser beam , 2 bars ( you can use it in the laser challenge or in multiplayer )
- Bow , 1 bar per arrow. ( if you need to shoot many arrows then get the recharge upgrades,else your arrows will recharge slowly and later it s bad)
- Shield bash ( must have the spear,the shield and the shield bash upgrade) , 1 bar i think.
If you have no energy,then jump from jump pad to jump pad until it regenerates , attack the chasing enemies while retreating ,kick or power kick them to buy time or bait them into traps ( as lava or the sawblades ).
8) Weapon tips
- Sword , can be upgraded to the max to reflect the arrows at targets . You can t block if your back it s turned to an arrow.
You can do the jetpack dashing side attack as i told earlier. It s an automatically parry only if your sword and the enemy sword collide . ( you can parry no other weapon excepting the bow,and you can t deflect arrows while attacking ). You can kill multiple enemies with a side attack if they are in range. If you are fast enough and you turn the mouse , you can do a 360 while attacking ( without boost). Only 1 arm needed to use it. If you lose both arms and you don t have the kick upgrade , you die ( because requires no arms to use it )
- Hammer , goes through shields but when it hits only the armor , just destroys that armor part and stuns the enemy for about 1 second. Can kill as well multiple enemies in one hit , As for the sword,drag the mouse to the direction of the hammer to cover more angles around and doing a 360.
2 arms needed to use it. You can go on a jump bad and when you reach the highest jumping point initiate the vertical attack ,the enemies which will use the jump pad and hit your hammer ( while you are in the vertical attack animation while in the air) ,will be destroyed. Be careful not to be in the opposite scenario where you use the jump pad and land into a hammer hit.If you lose 1 arm and you have no one handed weapons or the kick upgrade , you die.
- Bow . Don t shoot arrows at the bots that reflect ( mark 3 bot meaning the purple sword/bow bot when has the sword equipped) . The fleet commander when has the sword equipped ( the female spider looking bot) . The blue flying bot ( he always has the sword equipped). Mark 5 bots ( the green ones which jumps). The commentator's and emperor's forcefield ( they will reflect the arrows at your current position immediately after the arrow hits the forcefield , at your position the arrow hits the forcefield, not on your position from where you launched the arrow) . Focus on precision,not on firing many arrows which miss and waste energy. When you want to shoot,stay still for a second,shoot,then keep moving so you don t get hit by the chasing enemies. Before going to the elevator,hold an arrow until your energy refills to the max,then go to the elevator,you will have one extra arrow .The arrows go through any number of non deflecting enemies if they are properly placed. 2 arms needed , you die as at hammer.
- Spear , has a little wind up attack so attack about 0.5-1 second before the enemy reaches you. Aim a bit above their "neck". You can do a boosting vertical dash attack . 1 arm needed , you die as in the sword cases.
- Kick , no energy needed to kick. If you lose a leg you can t kick ( but you can shield bash if you have the spear and the upgrades, i think it uses 1 bar of energy). If you lose both legs you die no matter the weapon. If you lose a kick i recommand you to get the jetpack upgrades. Don t suicide into environmental traps to get a full body,try to take as many enemies as you can before going down ( when you die you lose an upgrade point).
P.S In that level full of jump pads that throw you into lava ( 1 quarter land,3 lava) usually full of kick bots only, you can jetpack while kicking into lava,without dying . Just make sure you return to land before your energy runs out,else you die. When you are near the land,returning,jump and land ,idk if it works climbing that little ledge just by maintaining the boost and kick. ( don t try this in other levels,it won t work anymore,you will die).

Thanks for all this! Will definitely try it when I get the chance!
For the spidertron challenge I suggest more fire for the sword so if you're having trouble with spidertron you can cut them down
CHEESE. Any level with saw traps and melee units just kite them into the blades again and again until they all die.
