A message has hastily been written down..
XX/XX/20XX
"Hey..my name is Kapus. Crazy things have been happening all over the city.
The robots everywhere are going insane! Their outsides are turning bright red and they are becoming extremely hostile. They're EVERYWHERE! Everywhere I look I see one of those crazy robots. They seem to be multiplying..
The city is in absolute chaos. I was being hunted by these crazy robots, and in a desperate attempt to get away, I escaped into these sewers. Down here, I found this withered journal. It read: "Guide to surviving Roboenza."I read it, hoping to find some clues. Fortunately, this journal talks about these crazy robots everywhere. They are infected by a highly contagious virus: Roboenza.
This journal was very helpful to me. I had no idea what was going on until I read this book, and I am very grateful to the author. Having read every page in this journal so far, I now have quite a lot of information.
I can hear a lot of commotion coming from above, but no infected robots have come down here yet. Despite feeling extremely nervous, I am going to take this time to write down the strategies I have developed for dealing with these robots...these "zombies."
1) As many previous entries stated, its best not to travel in large groups. When there are zombies about, its easy for them to get you when you're close together with other people. If a zombie gets too close to you and your allies, everyone will scramble about trying to get away from it. You'll end up running into each other and getting nowhere, and the zombie will eventually grab one of you. If it grabs one of your allies, they will become infected and grab the others. Since you're all so close together, you will all get infected in no time.
2) On the other hand, a large group against one or two zombies is good for offense. If the group isn't too close together, has good weapons(Quick boomerang, screw crusher, water wave, etc.) and stays a good enough distance from the zombie, they can pummel it easily. Just don't get too carried away focusing on one zombie. Always be on the look out; you never know when one might sneak up on you or your friends..
3) Hiding seems like a good idea at first, but it is very risky. Despite what you may think at first, these zombie robots are actually very intelligent. They plan, come up with various strategies, and are hard to outsmart. If you find a hiding spot, no matter how good it may be, they will eventually find you. If you're going to hide, make sure you have a good escape plan in case you get caught. If a zombie catches you in a corner, you're done for.
Speaking of hiding spots, I'd better hurry this up before they find me..
4) Use your weapons wisely. There are a lot of good ways to deal with zombies when you have certain weapons. For example, The Water Wave strikes fast multiple times. If you can hit a zombie with water wave repeatedly, it will be pushed back a lot.(and also take good damage) If you're being chased by a zombie and have Crash Bombs, it would be a good idea to plant them on the floor while you are running. Its a good way to throw them off. The Charge Kick is surprisingly useful. If you are in desperate need of escape, use the Charge Kick. It grants a big boost of speed, especially when used in the air.
5) If you find yourself alone, the only one in the area who isn't infected with Roboenza, then don't try to fight. There are probably loads of zombies out there to get you, and it would be quite foolish to try and take them all on at once. When a robot is infected with Roboenza, they seem to eventually stop functioning after about 90 seconds..I don't know why this happens, but you can use this to your advantage. When you're the only one left, just run. Do whatever you can to keep them back. Any sort of bombs would work in this case, and both Fire Storm and Star Crash are useful in this situation. Charge Kick also helps, but the most helpful weapon in this situation is definitely the Skull Barrier. You can't be infected by Roboenza when you are wearing the Skull Barrier. Just make sure you have plenty of W tanks, and watch out for zombies who try to surround you. Don't underestimate them.
I don't know if this information will be useful to whoever finds it, but this is all that I have learned so far from these abominations.
Uh oh..looks like someone is coming in here..I'd better leave. I'll leave this journal right here where I found it.."
