So Shade fist has opted for one more speed at the expense of one armour, requiring an armour bonus to keep the drum within the range of no self damage. This one point of speed isn't enough though to get around me, especially when we have equally powerful weapons and will both be dealing with gyro forces (them possibly more due to the width of their drum).
We're on Vertigo again so no real funny business with hazards, just the OOTA risk after 2 minutes. I have some doubts that the match will last that long with these two powerful drums. Head out aggressively, moving in straight lines and taking turns carefully to not gyrodance. I don't know whos weapon will win out in head-to-head, but that'll probably be the first impact between the two bots. I'm hoping the 14 weapon shock on Shade Fist's 4 armour body could knock something loose or do some damage otherwise.
If the impact throws us far enough apart and turns me over, try my best to gyrodance back over, but if Shade Fist is quickly approaching, back up and point at them before they can get a shot off on the sides/wheels of my bot.
If both weapons are disabled, they won't really be able to bring their wedgelets into play as my two wedgelets should go right between the spaces in their wedgelets and Shade Fist may ride up my front weapon rails, and while they can just reverse off, I can at least try to push a little bit to show aggression.
Try to keep the fight away from the edges of the arena, I don't want to risk a lucky OOTA when I believe I have the advantage.
