Defender

defender

You are fighting a defender.

Large and heavily armored, this machine's role is primarily defensive. When a large gun pivots in your direction you realize it must come from the school that believes the best defense is a good offense.
Your opponent attacks ...

Hit messages:

• A hatch opens, and the defender blasts a foghorn right next to your ear. damage+ (sonic) damage
• The defender flies all over the place, climbing and dropping and quickly scrolling left and right, shooting everything in sight, before eventually just crashing right into you.
• The defender smashes you into the ground. A hatch opens, and something looking like a football is spiked into the ground next to you. You're not really surprised when the football explodes. damage+ (fire) 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 blows a small foghorn and starts playing a looped track that just says "dee-fence" over and over again. You confuse it by going along with the chant.
• The defender zigs and zags all over the place, but crashes into a weird box-like shape that seems to have been lifting a man up into the air with a weird glowing beam. The man falls back to the ground and scampers off when the box is destroyed.
• You stay on the offensive, keeping the robot on the defensive. Naturally, this means your offense is the better defense than its defense is offensive, so you win out.
