|~ 1 ~| :: General Information ::
In this section of the FAQ, I will provide you the basic info
about ArmourMobile, such as it's HP, weaknesses, strengths, etc.
HP: Around 950 Points
Type: Mechanical
Type of Shooting: Explosive (Which has no advantages or
disadvantages against other mobiles)
Strength Against: Hitting Mobiles (Nak, Boomer, Ice, and Turtle).
+4% Protection against damage
Weakness Against: Electric Mobiles (Lightning, JD, Grub, and Aduka).
-4% Protection against damage
Power: Great
Protection: Average
Movement: Average
Description: ArmourMobile is a very simple mobile to use, and its
shotscan do an adequate amount of damage towards other enemies if
shot correctly. Unlike Nak and Boomer, there are no fancy tricks that
you have to learn to shoot correctly. It aims like normal mobiles,
all of its shots are the same weight (medium weight) so you don't
have to change the power for each shot.
~~~~~~~
|~ 2 ~| :: Advantages and Disadvantages ::
Here is a general charting of advantages and disadvantages of the
ArmourMobile for your comparsion.
|~ 2.1 ~| :: Positives ::
+ Shots can do great amounts of damage.
+ Shots 1 and 2 can be used to bunge an enemy! That's good.
+ Using the Dual + instead of Dual Regular in 1vs1 matches. :o Since
Shot 1 and 2 are so similar! :D That means less delay!
+ Has a 4% Protection against Nak, Boomer, Ice, and Turtle.
(Hitting Mobiles)
+ No disadvantages to other mobile due to its type of shooting.
(Explosive)
+ A very easy mobile to learn and understand.
|~ 2.1 ~| :: Negatives ::
- It doesn't move very far.
- No advantages either due to its type of shooting.
- Has a 4% weakness against Lightning, JD, Grub, and Aduka.
(Electric Mobiles)
- Quite high Delay for all its shots
- Somewhat Low HP. (950 HP)
~~~~~~~
|~ 3 ~| :: Shots ::
Here, I will describe each shot of the ArmourMobile for better
understanding. :)
|~ 3.1 ~| :: Shot 1 ::
Appor. Damage: 150
Weight of Shot: Medium
Delay: 770
Angle Range: 45 degrees
Shot Description: Shot 1 resembles a round, wide bullet, with a
little red light. Here's a little text art. ^^;
______
/\|| ||

\//|___||
Yes, anyways, the Shot 1 mainly has two purposes. One, of course,
I use it as a test shot. :P Just to measure how much I missed the
enemy, and then I'll switch to shot 2. Also, it can be used to bunge
the enemy. It will create a wide hole when it hits the ground. If
you are trying to bunge the enemy, do not hit the enemy directly,
because otherwise, the hole will not appear. Instead, try hitting
the ground RIGHT next to the enemy. It will do the same amount of
damage, and it will create the wide hole you're looking for.
However, if instead you're looking for a deeper hole, then I
suggest using Shot 2.
|~ 3.2 ~| :: Shot 2 ::
Appor. Damage: 250
Weight shot: Medium
Delay: 970
Angle Range: 35
Shot Description: Shot 2 resembles more of a thinner, yet sharper
bullet. It has a shell on the outside, so when it hits the enemy,
the shell hits the enemy, doing around 125 damage, and another
bullet will come out, doing another 125 damage. Here's some more text
art for ye. :o
______
/||| O |
\|||___|
(My text art sucks. <_<)
Anyways, Shot 2 is where it's at. :o Shot 2 also have the power to
bunge the enemy, but like shot 1, you try not to hit the exact spot
where the enemy is if you want to bunge them. Instead, I suggest
hitting the ground near them, so it will actually create a hole
in the ground. However, instead of creating a wide hole, it will
create a deeper hole. But it will be a bit harder to bunge someone
with this type of shot, because the hole will be narrower. So, use
this to bunge only if you're sure your aim is correct.
Also, you want to make sure that both the shell and the bullet hit
the enemy, because otherwise, the shot won't do it's full damage.
Suggestions for this if you're trying to bunge your enemy at the same
time is that to make sure your shot is not coming at such a horizontal
angle. Otherwise, when the shell hits the ground, it will make a
small hole that the enemy will fall through, and the bullet will
miss. I suggest using an high angle, so if your enemy falls into a
hole, it won't miss your enemy.
|~ 3.3 ~|:: SS Shot ::
Notice: There are two forms of the SS Shot. If you happen to manage
to keep the SS Shot in the air for long then three seconds, then it
will transform into a more powerful shot. So, try to aim at a
higher angle so it stays in the air longer. ^^;
|~ 3.4 ~| :: Premature SS Shot ::
Appor. Damage: 150
Weight shot: Medium
Delay: 1320
Angle Range: 45
Shot Description: The Premature SS Shot resembles a fatter version
of Shot 2. When it lands, it will turn into a puff of smoke. Unlike
the other shots, it will not bunge an enemy. So, if you wanted to
bunge an enemy, I suggest using the other two shots. More text art! :o
______
/||| |
||||| ()|
\|||___|
Yeah. It's a big waste if you don't get the shot to transform. :P
|~ 3.5 ~| :: Transformed SS Shot ::
Appor. Damage: 300
Weight Shot: Medium
Delay: 1320
Angle Range: 45
Shot Description: After floating in the air for around three seconds,
it will transform into an more uber form. A steel body will form around
it, and wings shall sprout out, both red and steel. The neck will
grow, and a cool little beeping thingy will appear. So, the
transformation should turn into something like this. :o

And yes, the transformed SS Shot shall not bunge the enemy, so
you can hit the enemy directly with it if you wish. It will not
change the shot affect.

| ~ 4 ~| :: Items to Use ::
If you or your opponent has enabled items in the GB room, I will try
to help you out on which items you should pack, because you only have
six item slots, and each item takes about 1 to 2 item slots! So
choose carefully!
| ~ 4.1 ~| :: Item Recommendations ::
Here, I will explain some items that you might want to take with
you if you choose the ArmourMobile. If you want to learn some
item groups strategies, then, I suggest looking at
:: Item Combo Strategies :: instead.
|~ 4.1.1 ~| :: Offensive Item Recommendations ::
Listed here are items that I recommend to use if you want items
to harm youropponent. Here is a list.
Name of Item: Dual
Added Delay: 600
Number of Item Slots needed: 2
Reasoning: Dual is a great item to really lay the damage upon
your opponent. It will let you fire two shots of the selected shot
type (excluding SS) instead of one. However,I suggest ONLY using
this in 2vs2+ battles, because in 1vs1s, delay is a VERY
IMPORTANT thing to preserve, and if you want to use a Dual-like
item in GB, then I suggest using the Dual + instead, which only
adds 250 delay.
Name of Item: Dual +
Added Delay: 250
Number of Item Slots needed: 2
Reasoning: Not as strong as Dual +, but pretty good as well.
With the combined power of Shot 1 and 2, it can do a max of up
to 400 damage! :O It will be in good use in 1vs1s, but don't use
it unless you have to. Because perserving your delay
is important, since whoever has the least delay will be the winner.
Name of Item: Bunge Shot
Added Delay: 50
Number of Item Slots needed: 1
Reasoning: It can help you with bunging if you're in need to bunge
the enemy withShot 1 or 2! :O It adds little delay, so it won't change
your shot delay that much. Plus, that 25% added damage can be really
useful!
|~ 4.1.2 ~| :: Defensive Item Recommendations ::
On a defensive mission? Healing items are great to use in many cases.
Here is my suggestion. (Yes, only one. ;))
Name of Item: Energy Up 2
Added Delay: 300
Number of Item Slots Needed: 2
Reasoning: Heals can provide you a good defense, and with the
ArmourMobile's low HP, it looks as if you'll need it. Heals are
always useful whenever you need to recharge your energy up. :o
|~ 4.1.3 ~| :: Misc. Item Recommendations ::
Here are the items that don't neccesarily fall into either the
offensive of defensive category that I shall recommend to you.
Name of Item: Teleport
Added Delay: 100
Number of Item Slots Needed: 2
Reasoning: There is no reason on why you shouldn't bring a teleport
to a battle! :O Well, there is, but not many. But, a teleport can
be useful in many times. Such as, if you're just about to be bunged,
you can teleport out. Or perhaps, you cannot hit the enemy at
where you are, so you can teleport to a different location.
|~ 4.2 ~| :: Item Combo Strategies ::
Here, I will list some combo item strategies that if you don't want
touse your own combo of items, you can use one of these.
Name of Strategy: General 1vs1 Match
Recommended Items to Bring: Dual +, Teleport, Blood, Power-Up
Reasoning: If you're going to 1vs1, then you should definitely go
on the offensive. Using a good offense is the best defense. I
have thought up of some alternatives to the Dual item, such as
the Blood and the Power-Up, (which both increase your attack by %33),
and the Dual +, (which is a neato mimic of the Dual).
Name of Strategy: General 2vs2+ Match
Recommended Items to Bring: Dual, Teleport, Energy Up 2
Reasoning: It's good to have a well rounded out selection of
items. If you totally need to prawn your enemy, then you have a
Dual. Your ArmourMobile falling apart? Use a Energy Up 2! And if
you are about to be bunged, you can teleport out!
Name of Strategy: Bunge Strat (only for 1vs1s)
Recommended Items to Bring: Dual, Bunge Shot x 4
Reasoning: If you think you can bunge your enemy, then this
is what I suggest to use. 4 Bunge Shots, so you can knock your
enemy down to the hole, and a Dual to finish it off. Don't use this
for 2v2s and up, unless you can put all your enemies into a hole at once,
and get some sort of crazee QUADRUPLE KILL!
Name of Strategy: Dual! Dual! Dual!
Recommended Items to Bring: Dual, Dual, Dual
Reasoning: Since ArmourMobile has a high delay on all of its shots,
then who cares about delay? <_< Just dual the opponent to death.
(Not recommended in 1vs1s. :P)
