Battle drone

battle drone

You are fighting a battle drone.

This is a vaguely humanoid robot dressed in battle armor and carrying a laser cannon. While his expressionless pokerface gives nothing away, his laser cannon slowly moves in your direction. That's probably a clue.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

The robot tries to punch you, but you block. The effort causes one of his coolant valves to burst, spraying you with liquid nitrogen. damage+ (ice) damage
The drone sprays you gently with water. You don't catch on to his strategy until he drops a lead from his battery pack into the puddle you're now standing in. damage+ (electric) damage
True to its name, the robot emits a droning buzz that's painful to listen to and nearly impossible to avoid. Even worse, when you clap your hands to your ears to try to reduce the effect, you clap yourself a little too hard. damage+ (sonic) damage

It hits you for X damage.

Critical hit message:

Your opponent has a critical hit! It hits you for X damage.

Miss messages:

The robot tries to punch you, but you block. The effort causes one of his servos to leak--it drips brake fluid on you, until you make it stop.
The robot sprays you with water, and then shoots a small jet of flame in your direction. It's not an especially effective tactic.
The battle drone starts droning on and on about something, but you quickly tune it out.

Your foe fumbles! It takes X damage.
