Trivia

• Robomando has a smaller hitbox than other survivors, and is therefore able to dodge Greater Wisps, Archaic Wisps, and Whorls by standing still and allowing their projectiles to pass over its head.
• Robomando has the highest base movement speed out of any playable survivor, at 36 km/h.
• Robomando's kit argues with itself. It has the lowest base HP, being below Huntress's 90HP. It has the lowest DpS of any Survivor and is still slowed down quite a bit while attacking. SINGLE FIRE doesn't do much, so it is advised to invest in Drones. Drones compliment it quite nicely, being able to keep up with its fast move speed and shoot accurately, alongside doing comparable damage. However, Drones are quite prone to an unfortunate debuff known as "Dying within a melee enemy's range" making it a suicide mission to resurrect them with RE-WIRE.
• DE-ESCALATE is Robomando's best friend. It's not too strong, but it has CC and can buy a few extra seconds to run like hell.
• RE-WIRE is not as good as it may seem. While infinite free items forever sounds strong, one would be hard-pressed to find an item that is actually good with it, and the stun is oftentimes not worth the item it gives. Don't be afraid to pay for a chest.

Good Items

Robomando might as well not have any good items. Some that can sustain it:

• Mobility like Red Whip (VERY good, due to its natural speed and evasiveness).
• Passive damage like Toxic Centipede and Decaying Sample
• Revenge damage like Fire Shield
• CC like Boxing Glove

Bad Items

• Flat conditional damage like Crowbar
• Close-quarters aggressive items like The Toxin
• On-hit stuns (DE-ESCALATE should suffice.)
