Summary0012344: TethysBot Immune to Attacks
DescriptionThis is a big problem. The TethysBot is basically immune to attacks, aside from the Plasma Cannon. Every time I attack it, its HP rises ABOVE what it started out as. This strikes me as wrong for two reasons:
1. The TethysBot specifically says that only the first five attacks should boost its shields. This is DEFINITELY NOT the case.
2. Assuming I am understanding this correctly, the TethysBot should still take damage (IE be at lower health) after any attack. At least, that's the way I read it--the TethysBot should take 100% damage from the attack, but have its HP boosted equal to 75% of the attack--a net loss of 25% HP.

Note: there are two ways I can possibly kill the TethysBots in my current game: 1. lure it through traps (yeah, right) and 2. the Plasma Cannon (2 shots max available. That's so far from balanced I don't even know where to begin.


One last note: most of my tests have involved stealthing to perform the attacks, as I don't really want to endure the TethysBot's attacks. If you have trouble reproducing, try that.

Ok, sorry, calmed down a bit. I think I can stack enough +damage on my Siege Rocket Launcher to get by. Still a very big problem.

Edit2: Actually, traps boost her shields as well...is any of this intentional?
