Community Robot Destruction strategy

Asteroid

This article is about Community Robot Destruction strategy. Robot Destruction is a beta game mode, so strategies may change until the final version.

General strategy

• The C Robots carry the most points, so having multiple people damaging it can make point collecting faster.
  • Having people wait by each level of Robot until they are unprotected can also speed up collecting.
• If the enemy doesn't have many points in their core, then waiting around it until they have an appropriate amount is an easy way to help your team win.
• Having a team member nearby can help if you drop the Reactor Core.
• Rushing into the enemy base after staying back in your own can take enemies by surprise, and allow for you to either destroy their Robots and/or steal their core.
• All taunt kills damage the enemy robots, so using weapons that can taunt kill can destroy Robots quickly.

Class-specific strategy

 Scout

• Having multiple Scouts destroying Robots allows for more damage and faster point collecting to occur.
• The Sandman can stun enemies attacking you while you're stealing their Reactor Core.

 Soldier

• The Beggar's Bazooka can quickly destroy Robots in needy situations.
• The Disciplinary Action can help your team escape with the enemy's Reactor Core.
  • The Escape Plan can help accomplish this if you have the Reactor Core and you're by yourself.

 Pyro

• The Phlogistinator can quickly take out groups of bunched up defenders.
• Ambushing enemies with the Backburner can quickly clear a battlefield and make their Robots vulnerable if you're attacking.
• Due to Robots being immune to critical hits, afterburn, mini crits, and airblasts, Pyro is highly un-recommended for Robot Destruction.

 Demoman

• The Scottish Resistance can quickly explode Robots who are bunched together.
• The Persian Persuader can pick up the Robot's gibs, restoring any health lost whilst attacking.

 Heavy

• Partnering with a Medic can help increase the amount of damage you do during your time in the enemy base.
• The Gloves of Running Urgently can assist in destroying Robots, then quickly escaping the area if you spot enemies too tough to kill by yourself.

 Engineer

• Building a Teleporter to the enemy base can assist your team in destroying Robots more efficiently.
• Making a nest in the enemy Reactor Core can quickly help your team win.

 Medic

• Using an Ubercharge can help your team destroy some Robots without taking damage.
• The Vaccinator can help defend your healing target against multiple types of enemies while attacking or defending Robots.

 Sniper

• The Machina can be effective for killing bunched up enemies defending their Robots.
• Jarate can make a group of enemies a lot easier to kill for yourself and/or your team.

 Spy

• Spies are good for stealing cores due to their Cloak ability.
  • The Cloak can also allow Spies to get to the enemy Robots without being noticed.
• The Dead Ringer can allow you to quickly get behind enemy lines without having to sneak through players strategically.
