Such characters should be newbie friendly. There's no question Dodge Roll is hard to use effectively, and Fish is a mascott of Nuclear Throne, a character unlocked at the start. The very idea is fundamentally broken, and the niche is already taken by Plant anyway! Scrap the ability and give Fish something else.

I don't think it's possible to give Fish a useful ability based on moving fast in combat. Rolling in combat does the opposite - it gives you LESS time to react, and without Throne Butt your character is impossible to steer. Fast reflexes and/or careful play are needed to survive. Nuclear Throne is not a game about kiting, and that's great. What am I supposed to do with that ? I mostly use it for backtracking, and judging by youtube vids I'm not alone.Įven the idea of abrupty increasing movement speed in combat is questionable. Honestly it looks like solution looking for a problem.

I played various characters, and the roll ability of Fish is one of the worst. Robot is also a playable character in the past Vlambeer game Super Crate Box.I'm an average player skill-wise.One of Robot's loading screen tips says: "I'm afraid I can't let you do that", which is a quote of HAL 9000, a sentient computer from A Space Odyssey.During loading screens as Robot, you have a chance to get the following messages in hexadecimal:."Robot tries to blend in and imitates being a mutant." - JW.If Robot levels up twice or more on one area, the mutation select screen will have a message: "Do not turn off Robot".Robot installs updates instead of mutating.“ FLÄ'ISUM, KHUN VE'Ö D'Ö Ö!!! KHUN MUK ISUM. Unlock Method Robot is unlocked by reaching the Frozen City area. The Crown of Guns is a good pick for the character, as it gives Robot more "food" to eat and the nutrition gained from eating them negates the drawback of ammo not dropping. Heavy Heart - increases the chance for enemies to drop weapons, which is always useful when playing Robot.Open Mind - Robot's ability to eat spare weapons means that this mutation's random effects will always be useful, and it is a guaranteed extra resource on every level.Back Muscle will allow you to carry a greater supply and will ensure you rarely run out of ammo. Back Muscle - Robot's ability creates health and ammo, which means sometimes you will reach the max ammo capacity.Second Stomach - eating guns will heal you for double the amount.Throne Butt - choosing Throne Butt is always a welcome addition, as it will double the amount of consumables Robot receives.With Robot's passive ability 'Better Tech', it will also find stronger weapons sooner, making this character arguably the strongest in the early stages of the game (weapon wise).

This allows the player to stock up on weapons with scarce ammo (Triple Machine Gun, Laser Minigun), making killing hordes of enemies that much easier. Gameplay Robot is a great character to start out with for its near limitless supply of ammo. Weapon Chests can spawn as Cursed Weapon Chests if you have a Crown.Īny weapons left behind when leaving a level will be automatically eaten.

The chests will spawn on top of Robot and instantly open.Īmmo Chests have a chance to spawn as I.D.P.D. Regurgitate3/7 (~43%) chance to burp out a random stationary chest ( Ammo Chest, Weapon Chest, or Medkit) after eating a weapon.
