USING THE CURVED WEAPON BAR.
Start inverted. Turn the weapon on and head South at full speed, gradually moving away from the walls. I want to mostly keep the fight in the southern part of the arena.
I’m starting inverted for a couple reasons. First, his wedge is sturdy but has a weak point: the wedgelets are on hinges that stick out! When I’m up to speed I want to drive straight into him at high-speed and hope my blade skips into those hinges! That should be corner damage, which with enough hits could bend stuff and jam the hinges at a minimum. If he tries to flank, keep turning to face him, but if he rams me off-center, the bar will be higher off the floor at the sides and closer to those hinges!
The second reason’s so that him tilting me a little bit won’t guarantee my bar hits the floor. If he’s able to get under me I should still have a wheel on the floor, so wiggle to avoid hitting the wall and see if I can just spin the bar up, then wiggle off and hit him. Using his lifter will be risky. It’s fairly slow, and if I can slip off and hit him before he lowers it, that’s more free corner damage – and he’s got like no clearance so even a slight bend could jam the thing open, permanently leaving it exposed to my weapon.
Use standard hit-and-run tactics. This arena gives me lots of room to do the latter while I spin back up, but steer clear of Stalin’s Sickle and the walls. Note: the hazards only deal 2-point damage to me. If he’s putting too much pressure on me, try exposing my sides and rear as bait since he can’t damage me and as mentioned I have decent ability to wiggle free. Him messing with my wheels while I’m still accelerating the bar is okay for me.
It won’t be easy for him to flip me upright, but if it happens, try to tear off the forks on his arm and otherwise tear up his wedge as much as I can.
Tl;dr be aggressive when spun up, else retreat. Be tricky and hard-to-control and attack his weak points for maximum damage.
Good Luck Etc.
