Shredder

The Advanced Attack Robot is a monster in CrossCode. They can be encountered when fleeing from Egyptian Mr. Freeze on the MS Solar.

Appearance

The Advanced Attack Robot is a metal robot resembling a humanoid upper torso and head. It floats on rings of orange energy. It is made of dark grey metal with red highlights. It is physically identical to its weaker counterparts, the Attack Robot and the Prologue Attack Robot; they are distinguished only by their behavior.

Combat

During combat, the Advanced Attack Robot will follow the player closely and attempt to attack them. Their attack has three parts. First they dash forward towards the player, stopping just short of them if they are close enough. They then charge their attack, briefly flashing red. They finish with a powerful melee slash. The slash also releases a homing shockwave that follows the player.

Strategies

Due to their extremely high level, the Advanced Attack Robots encountered are capable of destroying Lea with a single attack, while she can deal a maximum of 1 damage to them with any attack. Due to this, coupled with the difficulty of dodging their homing attack, defeating one is considered impossible, and they must instead be fled.

Rewards

As it is impossible to defeat an Advanced Attack Robot, the rewards for doing so are unknown.

Locations

Egyptian Mr. Freeze summons 15 Advanced Attack Robots to the MS Solar in an attempt to prevent Lea from fleeing the ship.

Development Notes

The Advanced Attack Robot was first introduced with the release of the Demo. It has appeared in all subsequent game releases excluding the Shortened Demo, where gameplay ends after defeating the Cargo Crab.
