|~ 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)
