Welcome to Chapter 2: The Mecha. Contained in here is an overview of the Mecha, its various parts and the skills given by equipping them. It also has comments from the authors on each set of parts. Furthermore, we will be giving our recommendations for which parts fit what situation.

Without further ado, let's begin!

It's great to have a Mecha, but you might be wondering how to control it and what it's able to do. First things first, this section will explain you everything you need to know about basic controls and stats to a Mecha, and will overview all the abilities a Mecha can learn.


Health: Quite simply, how much damage your Mecha can take before it explodes. The Mecha has a base 38000 Health. Any bonuses take a percentage of 38000 and add that much Health. Example: Something adding 30% Health adds 11400 Mecha Health. Bonuses are always based on 38000. Exact increases to Health will be listed in parentheses next to the bonus percentage.

Attack: Simply put, how hard you hit your opponent. The Mecha has a base 3600 attack. Like Health, any bonuses are based on 3600, not the Mecha's current attack. Exact increases will be listed in parentheses.

Defense: Basically, this much damage is negated whenever the enemy attacks. With good timing, you may negate even more damage. The Mecha has a base defense of 600. Exact increases will be listed in parentheses.

Accuracy: When using the default punch, Accuracy determines how often you hit the Kaiju. If your accuracy is 100% or more, it will hit. However, you can miss at even a 99% hit chance. The Mecha has a base accuracy of 90%.

Combo/Combo Multiplier: Every time you hit an enemy, your Combo increases by 1 and it adds great visual effects. It's not for the show though! Each time your Combo goes up by 1, your Accuracy goes down by 10% and your Combo Multiplier goes up. It alternates between going up by 0.3 and 0.2. Thus, every two hits it will go up by 0.5. As it is a multiplier, anything that uses it is multiplied by its current value.


Attack
Deal 0.9x-1.1x damage, multiplied by your combo bonus.


Whenever you swing your punch at the enemy, it will hit for 90%-110% of your Mecha's attack stat. it will then multiply it by the Combo Multiplier. Be careful though, as this is affected by accuracy and can miss.

Example: If Attack is 6000. It can deal between 5400 (90% of 6000) and 6600 (110% of 6000) on the first attack. It will raise the Combo by 1 and increase the Combo Multiplier if it hits.

Defense
Gain extra 1.7x defense proportional to your combo counter. Ends turn.


Whenever you wish to end your turn since you don't want to risk missing, you can use Defense, which multiplies the given defense by the Combo Multiplier. The exact formula will be listed later.


You know the basics of how to use the Mecha, but what about the Kaiju themselves? They have a few tricks up their sleeves as well!

Whether you use a Final Strike, miss, or use some other ability that ends the turn, it will be the Kaiju's turn. Usually speaking, they will attack you three times. However, they may perform a Special Attack instead. During your turn, if a Kaiju is going to perform a Special Attack during its next turn, the Kaiju's sprites and animation will change, and a text notification will appear onscreen. A Special Attack only hits once, hits harder and frequently inflicts a negative status on the Mecha.

When a Kaiju is attacking, a bar will appear below you. A marker will move across this bar. You can click or push Space to stop the marker. The higher the top of the bar is, the less damage you take. If you click during the red-orange sections, you will miss outright and block very little of the attack. If you stop it in the slightly higher yellow section, you will get a Great, and block more damage. If you land in the higher white are, you get Awesome and block even more damage. If you can hit in the very center of the white section, where it is raised even higher, then you get Perfect, and block the most damage. Here are the numbers:


Lastly, most Kaiju have 3 health bars. Once you empty a health bar, the Kaiju becomes "knocked down" and has to take its time getting up. This causes you to gain a turn of cooldown on your abilities and allows you to move again. Most of the Mecha's boots will also heal it when the Kaiju is knocked down.

While your Mecha's default Attack and Defense moves are great and definitely do the job, they are not the only way to deal with the monster. These are your Mecha's Special abilities. Once you get Transitmancer to his last Health bar, your Lead enables use of Special Abilities. These can help your fight Kaiju in many different ways. They also come in many different varieties.


Offensive abilities come in two varieties: Final Strikes and Special Strikes. Neither one can miss the target, but still drain Accuracy, increase Combo, etc. While Special Strikes don't end the turn, Final Strikes do.

Sword Strike
Deal 2.4x-3.1x damage. Ends Turn. FINAL STRIKE. Cooldown 6.
Comes from: Sword Arm

Sword Strike is a good FInal Strike which does about 2.75x damage on average. If you can take out half of the Kaiju's health bar in one combo, Sword Strike will generally be able to finish off the rest of it. The biggest downside is high Cooldown. You can generally use it once or twice in a Mecha fight, so use wisely!

Chroma Beam
Deal 2.9x-3.3x damage. +2 Cooldown to all skills. Always hits. Ends Turn. FINAL STRIKE. Cooldown 5.
Comes from: Mega Chest

The Chroma Beam is the single strongest attack your Mecha has access to. While the Mega Chest does not provide much defense, it gives you access to this ability. This will always deal more damage than Bazooka, and will often out-damage Sword Strike. While its cooldown isn't as high as Sword Strike, it is ill-advised that you pick Chroma Beam and another Final Strike. As the added cooldown will affect skills that aren't on cooldown, it is advised to use Precision Strike and/or Flurry Strike the turn you fire the Chroma Beam. Despite the increased cooldown, you should be able to use both abilities when you can next use the Chroma Beam. As with the Sword Strike, you can fire this off twice in a battle if you do it right. While it's worth a look, you will have to build around using it.

Bazooka
Deal 2.6x damage. Always hits. Ends Turn. FINAL STRIKE. Cooldown 5.
Comes from: Mega Mecha Arm

Oddly enough, this is the only Final Strike that does a set amount of damage. While it is always weaker than the Chroma Beam, and will, on average, do a bit less damage than Sword Strike, it does not suffer from Chroma Beam's flaw of raising cooldown on other abilities, has a shorter cooldown than Sword Strike, and can be combined with Flurry Strike, whereas Sword Strike has to be paired with Precision Strike. If you don't want Sword Strike and don't want to have to deal with the Chroma Beam's downsides, then Bazooka is worth looking at for a Final Strike.

Precision Strike
Deal 1.2x damage. This attack always hits. Cooldown: 2.
Comes from: True Striker Level 2+

This is not only a guaranteed hit, but it even hits slightly harder than your regular Attack does. The only reason this isn't effectively a boost to accuracy is that you can't use it every turn. It's quite handy if you need guaranteed damage.

Flurry Strike
Three attacks that automatically hit, dealing 0.05x damage each;
Comes from: Aerodynamic Arm

To put that as a percentage, Flurry Strikes deals 3 attacks of 5% damage each. While each one is affected by the Combo Multiplier, it rarely makes it do that much more damage. Flurry Strike's real power comes from being able to raise your combo by 3 and the combo multiplier by either 0.7 or 0.8 depending on when you use it. This allows you to power up your next Final Strike, Precision Strike or Super Shield. The increase to the Combo also boosts the power of healing abilities. While Flurry Strike is incredibly weak on its own, it combos with other abilities very nicely. Unlisted Cooldown is 3.


Super Shield
Gain x4 bonus to Armor proportional to your combo counter. Ends Turn. Cooldown: 4.
Comes from: Colored Box of Justice Level 2+

The only other Defensive ability the Mecha has. A slight bit misleading with how much defense it claims to give. More on that later. That said, it is still a very strong guard. With a high enough Combo Multiplier and good timing, you can outright negate Kaiju Special Attacks. Worth considering if only for that.


As with Final Strikes, Healing abilities end your turn. They will always heal your health for at least the listed amount. They will also heal equal to the listed amount times combo. To put it as a formula, all of them are as follows: Listed Value x (combo + 1) = Amount Healed.

Reload
All skill cooldowns are reduced by 1 for each combo Count. Recover 1200 HP for each Combo counter. End turn.
Comes from: Electrical Box

While it takes the longest to cooldown and heals the least of the Healing abilities, its value is allowing you to cooldown other abilities. Very useful to reload Final Strikes and Special Strikes. With the right setup, you can potentially the same Final Strike twice within three turns. Unlisted Cooldown is 5.

Repair/Repair II
Remove all negative effects and recover 4000/7000 HP for each Combo Counter. End turn. Cooldown 4.
Comes from: Handyman Legs; Repair II comes from Levels 4&5

Repair is on par with Wonderwall II in terms of healing, and Repair II is the single strongest Healing Ability you have access to. Unfortunately, it is attached to the only pair of boots that doesn't heal you when you knock down the Kaiju. As such, it's either best paired with Reload or used during a very key turn in the fight.

Wonderwall/Wonderwall II
Remove all negative effects and become immune to them for 1 turn for each Combo counter. Recover 1300/4000 HP for each Combo Count. End your turn.
Comes from: Wonder Boots; Wonderwall II comes from Levels 4&5

While Wonderwall generally lags behind Repair in terms of healing, its boots do heal the Mecha when you knock down the enemy Kaiju. It also has the shortest cooldown of all healing abilities. The ability to make the Mecha immune to negative effects just increases its usefulness. Quite handy. Unlisted Cooldown is 3.

For all of the math geeks out there, Xero and I think we found the formula on how defense works.

The basic Defense skill: ([DEF x 0.7] x [1 + TM]) x Combo Multiplier
Super Shield: ([DEF x 3] x [1 + TM]) x Combo Multiplier

DEF is your Mecha's actual defense on the stat screen.
TM is short for Titan Multiplier and only applies if you have the Titan Helmet.
If you do NOT have the Titan Helmet, you may treat TM as 0.

Example w/o Titan: ([900 x 0.7] x [1 + 0]) x 2.5 = 630 x 2.5 = +1575
Example w/ Level 4 Titan: ([900 x 0.7] x [1 + .50]) x 2.5 = (630 x 1.5) x 2.5 = 945 x 2.5 = 2362.5

The tool tips for Defense and the Super Shield state they grant x1.7 defense and x4 defense respectively. While it is true that you will have that much defense if you defend with a x1 combo multiplier, it is not how much defense they actually give, as they simply add on to your existing defense.

Also, when you get attacked, you can defend yourself with correct timing. Here is how it affects your defense (Might be wrong, but it's probably not going to be far from the actual answer):


This takes into account any bonus defense you have this turn from using either Defense or Super Shield. It should be taken into account that you need to get at least an Awesome rank to use 100% of your defense stat. Anything worse and you will not negate as much damage as your have defense.

Also, this guide used to be "normal" until Xero had the great idea to write the descriptions for the Mecha Parts as an ad, which quickly because hilarious. We really had a lot of fun writing those, but if you do not like that format or wish to improve it, leave a comment below and it'll be a pleasure to answer it! Xgpmcnp seems to love answering comments and was disappointed at the low amount of comments on Chapter 1...
