What's special about it?

The movement in melee is quite aggressive and territorial. The gun uses a risk assessment (similar to Minumum Risk) to help evaluate the enemies state.

Strategy

How does it move?

In Melee Minimum Risk - It randomly drops a previous portion of its move path (of random length). It repels from that to generated possible locations, choosing based on Angle, health ,not being the closest bot, threat advantage, strategic positioning.

In Version 2.1b and previous, the 1 vrs 1 uses a simple orbit / change direction randomly.

In Version 2.3 and greater, the 1 vrs 1 uses a waveSurfing , (and flattener) intended for Melee end game.

Version 3.0 is temperarily back to random 1vrs1, and melee combines Minimum Risk with waveSurfing.

How does it fire?

Play it Forward

How does it dodge bullets?

As of Version 3.0, It waveSurfs in melee combat

What does it save between rounds and matches?

everything between Rounds, and nothing after battle.

Additional

Does it have any White Whales?

Hoping to melt some ice!
