Unique Bosses
They are special and challenging enemies that can be found throughout Botworld!
These Bosses are either tough Danger Zone gatekeepers or challenging milestones for your Codex’s progression
- All of them can be damaged by Gadgets, Recruits and neutral hazards (such as Landmines, Molten Rock’s Fireballs/Flamethrowers and Cleanerbots)
Mega Bots
Giant bots that can appear as bosses on Danger Zones or as Contract objectives
All Mega Bots have 50% stun resistance and Hack immunity (Hack, Hack Missile and Virus)
Mega Slicer
Squishy boss with a really high melee damage output
Tips
You should avoid melee combat while facing Mega Slicer, his damage output is too high to be worth tanking
Mega Chainer
Tanky boss that deals moderate AoE melee damage
Tips
Even though his damage is on the lower side of Mega Bots, your squishy [Snipers]() and [Splashers]() won’t be able to endure his blows, so having tools to avoid his Multi-chain or to quickly take your bots out of his attack zone is essential when facing Mega Chainer
- Melee attackers like Chasers and Brawlers should be avoided since he’ll be able to hit them along with your Tank (Bullwark is a great pick due to his Front Shield and Reflective Shield)
- Hyperdrain is the best way to keep your ranged bots safe
- Teleport Abilities like SCT, Proximity Translocator and Team Translocator are great responses to his Multi-chain, but Gust, Shield Field and Barrier Wall are also good picks
- A well-timed Vanish can prevent a bot from being hooked, it’s especially effective if used on Bigshot
- At AI level 5 Bullseye can attack from behind obstacles, therefore being safe from his hooks if correctly placed
Mega Froggy
A toxic backline wiper
Tips
Mega Froggy is an elusive and tricky to deal with bot, but he’s not that intimidating once you disable his Poison Tank
- Using melee damage dealers such as Brawlers or Chasers isn’t advisable since he can leap away from melee units and his basic attacks apply slow
- The main threat is his Poison Tank, so having tools to avoid that such as Hyperdrain or Team Translocator will take down most of it’s offensive power
- Mega Froggy is a squishy boss, so using the Bigshot + Vanish combo will take him down quite fast
- In case you enough lack ranged firepower to bring him down fast, Link is a great pick in terms of Tanks due to his ability to protect other bots paired with his high Energy Resistance with the right AI tree
Mega Pluggie
The powerhouse of Mega Bots
Tips
Mega Pluggie is an all-rounder Mega Bot, altough his health isn’t that high he has melee damage reflection with Electric Shock, energy damage resistance, CC and AoE, making him one of the toughest Mega Bots around Botworld
- Avoid letting your bots stay close to each other, otherwise Chain Lightining and Electrocute will pack a really good punch
- Using melee damage dealers like Chasers and Brawlers is a double-edge sword, they’ll be able to stagger Mega Pluggie’s attacks while they chase, but Electric Shock will take your bots down quite fast
- Since he resists energy damage, using bots that deal long range physical damage, like Bullseye and Longshot is advised
- Link is a great Tank choice due to his high energy damage resistance, along with supportive bots such as Halo or Beat that would provide extra damage and survivability during the fight
- Since Mega Pluggie’s attack range is quite small, using Icicool’s CC + Rocketeer’s knockback will let you protect your ranged bots safe, allowing you to beat it from a safe distance (Credits to Kart)
Ps. Link can be made immune to Mega Pluggie’s attacks by using 4x Epic Energy Resistance boosters on top of his 40% Energy Resistance AI perk.
Mega Frosty
The ultimate melee counter
Tips
Although having low damage, Mega Frosty can be hard to deal with if you lack proper ranged attackers, since facing him with melee bots will be extremely difficult due to his powerfull CC abilities
- Using the same strategies listed for Mega Pluggie against Mega Frosty will do the trick, but you must be prepared to reposition your bots after he teleports, since he can still beat your Sniper and Splashers with ease
- His slow, stun and teleports will basically disable most melee damage dealers (Chasers and Brawlers), but units with CC immunity AI perks (like Slicer, for example) can still be used effectively
- Poison effects can be a great tool for piling up damage (Hornet and Fork + Hypercharge)
- As with Mega Pluggie, Link can also be made immune to Mega Frosty’s attacks with the addition of 4x Epic Energy Resistance boosters
Mega Dunebug
The fastest and most eluvise Mega Bot
Tips
Although squishy, Mega Dunebug is really hard to deal with if you lack enough long range firepower since you won’t be able to keep him still for long
- The best way to beat him is by using Chainer and Vortex to keep him in range long enough for your Snipers to take him down
- The Bigshot + Vanish combo can nuke him down quite easily
- If you don’t have enough firepower to bring him down quickly, using Hyperdrain or Barrier Wall can save you from his death roll
Ps. It might be tricky to use Pupil against him since Mega Dunebug will constantly roll around, reseting the laser’s damage progression
Mega Icicool
A squishy frost turret
Tips
Mega Icicool is an evasive mega bot that has plenty of slows to abuse, which means using non-CC immune Chasers and Brawlers isn’t a great idea. Even though he is squishy and his damage isn’t high for a mega bot, his ult can easily burst one of your melee bots if it lands right
- Bursting him quickly is advised to prevent him from ulting, so the Bigshot + Vanish is a good call for this one
- You can use Hyperdrain to keep him from ulting
- If you lack proper long-ranged damage dealers, using poison (Fork, Poison Trail) and CC immune melee bots (Slicer, Yanky) will be a good way to go
- Since he’s damage is energy-based, Link will be your best choice as a Tank. He and Frosty can also be made immune to energy damage with the addition of 4x Epic Energy Resistance Botpack boosters
Mega Slash
A melee glass cannon
Tips
Mega Slash is really weak against “Hit and Run” strategies, since he has no tools to close the gap between him and your bots. Using Evaders will make facing him a walk in the park
- Using melee units aside from Tanks isn’t adivised, Mega Slash has a really high damage output along with CCs, so he’ll be able to beat squishy Chasers rather easily
- Frosty, Dunebug and Flamer can beat him up while keeping a safe distance, therefore being extremly effective against him
- The Bigshot + Vanish combo will be quite effective since Mega Slash has a low health pool and no energy damage resistance
Roaming bosses
Special bosses that appear roaming in specific maps, they can be either Super Bots or Unique Bandits and beating them will grant a Codex achievement
Super Bots have 50% stun resistance, Hack immunity (Hack, Hack Missile and Virus) and a fixed loadout
Unique Bandits have 6 bots in their loadout
Super Flamer
Base level: 15
The first Super Bot you’ll face on your journey
Roams around: Great Desert (Route)
Bots:1x Mega Flamer, 1x Yanky
Tips
Super Flamer can be hard to deal with while you’re underleved, since his AoE damage will be quite punishing for weaker bots
- The best way to deal with him is by using ranged bots, since he has no resistance both energy and physical damage are effective
- Longshot is a good pick and can be obtained early through the Arena, Lobbie will also prove himself useful by providing consistent damage and his Ult’s CC
- As for Tanks, you should go with a big wall to keep him occupied as long as possible, some easy-to-get choices are Barrie and Bullwark. Chainer can be obtained through the Arena and could help with positioning control during the fight
- Tether is easy to get and can be a really good disabler to use against Mega Flamer, preventing him from moving and reaching your squishy Snipers and Splashers
- Random Drop bots that are also great in this fight are: Link, Bigshot, Pupil, Halo, Pluggie (Arena), Beat (Arena) and Mort
Wolf Pack Alpha
Base level: 20
Roams around: Fall Grove (Route)
Bots: 2x Slicer, 2x Ram, 2x Longshot
Abilities: Tornado Bolt, Knockback, Gust, Charge Field
Tips
Fork Tongue Fanatics Leader
Base level: 22
Roams around: Saltwater Swamp (Route)
Bots: 2x Fork, 2x Thump, 2x Froggy
Abilities: Poison Trail, Hack, Immobilize Field, Vortex
Tips
Super K.O.
Base level: 25
He hits hard from the start and will snowball in power as the battle drags on
Roams around: Parched Sea (Route)
Bots:1x Super K.O., 1x Halo
Tips
Super K.O. is quite bulky and hits really hard, so it’s not easily tanked
- Halo must be taken care of as soon as possible to prevent Super K.O. from being buffed
- “Hit and Run” is the best strategy to deal with him. Rocketeer and Gust are great for keeping him away, while Frosty and Dune bug can drag him around. Vortex and Barrier Wall can be used to stagger for time and counter his speed boost
- The Bigshot + Vanish combo will work just fine in taking him down, but be aware that he can quickly reach and kill Bigshot if you fail to react after his speed boost
- The fight can be cheesed by using 2x Corrupted Power Generation(or 3x Epic Power Generation) + Barrier Wall to keep him permanently locked while Bullseye steadily drain his health
Super Virus
Base level: 30
The former strongest Roaming Boss
Roams around: Spore Woods (Route)
Bots: 1x Super Virus, 1x Fork, 1x K.O.
Tips
Super Virus isn’t the only threat in this fight, if you focus on him Fork will wipe out your Snipers and Splashers
- Hyperdrain is essential to keep him from hacking your frontline
- The “Hit and Run” strategy used against Super K.O. works well against him, but it is heavier on Botpack Power because you’ll need to constantly keep his ult in check. You’ll also need to save Botpack Power for an emergency Gust, SCT, Proximity Translocator or Barrier-wall to counter his Disable skill
- As with Super K.O., this fight can be cheesed by using 2x Corrupted Power Generation (or 3x Epic Power Generation) + Barrier Wall to keep him permanently locked while Bullseye steadily drain his health
Super Berserker
Base level: 30
The strongest Roaming Boss
Roams around: Ashen Shore (Route)
Bots: to be added
Tips
General Tips and Tricks
Higher level Bosses are though to face, but there are some tricks you can use to chip their health away before actually facing them, making the fight much easier
Use the Environment
There are several neutral hazards spread throughout Botworld, some are easy to use, others not so much, but here are some tips on how to use them effectively against most enemies.
Shockwave Generator is your most versatile tool
Its defensive applications are obvious, pushing enemies away and staggering them for a short period, but this Gadget can also be used offensively by pushing enemies into Landmines and Cleanerbots, or by locking them into Poison Clouds or in a Flamethrower’s line of fire
- Bandit pushed into Flamethrower
Bandit vs Flamethrower 320p (220kb)
Bandit vs Flamethrower 640p (812kb)
- Enemy kept into a Poison Cloud
You can bait them into those environmental hazards by simply running around, but using Shockwave Generator will allow you to efficiently get the most benefit out of them
Know your Gadgets and Plan Ahead
Mine and Bombardment are powerful tools for taking down though enemies when used correctly. Understanding how to lay them efficiently and knowing how much damage they deal will allow you to plan ahead on how and when you’ll use them
-
Damaging Wild Bots and Regular Bandits with 3x Mines will defeat them right away (no loot gained)
-
Damaging Wild Bots and Regular Bandits with Bombardment 3 times will bring them down to around 5~10% health
-
Damaging a Boss unit with 5x Mines will bring it down to around 5~10% health
-
Damaging a Boss unit with Bombardment 3 times will take away approximately 1/3 of its health
Use this data to plan ahead and choose where and how you’ll use your Gadget to get the most out of each precious charge. For example, when inside a Danger Zone you’d rather use your Mines instead of your Invisibility to easily get past a Boss that’s located on a narrow pathway because you know you might need to backtrack.

Cheesing Boss fights (Mega and Super Bots)
This strategy consists in locking the Boss into a Barrier Wall cell and make use of Bullseye’s Third Eye perk (AI Lv5), which allows him to hit through obstacles, to theoretically take any of them down safely
video Bullseye vs Mega Chainer 320p (907kb)
Bullseye + Barrier Wall vs Mega Chainer 640p (3,41MB)
- You’ll either need to use 3x Epic Power Generation or 2x Corrupted Power Generation boosters to guarantee enough Botpack Energy to keep using Barrier Wall, since locking the Boss with a single one isn’t that reliable
- Using a Corrupted Sharpshooter Range would allow Bullseye to basically reach the entire field (optional)
- Don’t forget that you must quickly deal with the regular Bots that accompany the Boss to prevent them from harassing Bullseye
P.s.: Of course, there are simpler ways of cheesing specific Boss fights, like using Frosty and Dune bug against melee Bosses, but that alone wouldn’t guarantee a win in most cases since the majority of them have tools to either disable your Bots (e.g. Super Virus’s Immobilize and Hack effects) or to quickly close the gap (e.g. Super K.O.’s speed boost and Mega Chainer’s hooks)
