Bullet Shadow

Diamond surfing with bullet shadows shown in green

When a bullet intersects an enemy wave, the range of firing angles on the wave that would collide with the bullet are guaranteed to be safe by the time the wave reaches its target. As the enemy wave travels outward, this safe region traces out a region of the battle field as if your bullet cast a shadow of safety.

Techniques

Active Bullet Shadowing

This type of bullet shadowing involves aiming and firing the gun with the goal of creating large bullet shadows.

Passive Bullet Shadowing

This method takes advantage of natural bullet shadows that are formed by aiming and firing at the enemy. That is using any kind of standard targeting. Most robots implementing bullet shadows are of this type.
