Ability Selection

Notes on enemy AI:	While in a given battle stage, enemies will attempt to use First Choice abilities. If impossible (due to focus, silencing or cooldowns), they will proceed to Second Choice, etc. Cooldown for enemies indicates how often abilities may be used, and is effectively one less than for Sonny (IE cooldown of 2 can be used every second turn) Enemy-targetting abilities have a chance of targetting the weakest enemy rather than targetting at random; this is given in the Attributes section above. Ally-targetting abilities always target the weakest targetable ally. Selection within a category is random unless indicated. All exceptions noted below.
Battle Stages	First Choice	Second Choice	Third Choice
First 3 rounds of battle	Robot Shield	Vapour Cannon
After first 3 rounds of battle, ally's HP never passed 30%	Robot Mana Bomb*	Vapour Cannon
Ally's HP passed 30%	Vapour Cannon
*Only one action bar instance, changes which one when (12 rounds since start/Mayor's HP reaches 90%) and when Mayor's HP reaches 65%

Tactics

• Its powerful Robot Mana Bomb attack scales with its focus; draining its focus, stunning it, or destroying it quickly are good strategies.
• Due to its shield, it may be hard to destroy at first. If possible, use a focus draining attack to destroy its focus (beware of its abilty to recover focus with Vapour Cannon), then concentrate on breaking its shield while keeping its focus low.

Trivia

• Fire Claw and The Hydra have similar animations and a similar appearance. The Guardian Cannon's buffing, ranged attack, hit, and death animations are identical to those of Fire Claws and The Hydra.
