Botball modules: Weapon

Basic weapon modules

Basic modules are available to all players from the beginning; they are the easiest to balance and use, but are generally less powerful and versatile than rarer modules.

  • Arin blaster: The basic weapon module, the arin blaster has average range and attack.
  • Taskara melee weapon: The taskara weapon is very weak, but it has the special ability to corrode its opponents over time.
  • Asyata blaster: The asyata blaster is an effective weapon, with a good attack rating despite its relatively low range.
  • Vaahana missile launcher: The vaahana missile module is cheap and relatively weak, but it has good range and the special ability to attack all enemies in an area.

Advanced weapon modules

Advanced modules are more specialized and less common than basic modules, with mostly higher key stats (and some lower stats to compensate).

  • Jaganatha melee weapon: The Jaganatha is the strongest, hardest-hitting and most expensive weapon in the game, despite having no range or special powers.
  • Duurataa blaster: Like the taryakata blaster, the Duurataa is cheap and somewhat weak, but it has better range and lower attack than the taryakata.
  • Taryakata blaster: The Taryakata is an overall cheap, weak weapon.
  • Kshatra melee weapon: The kshatra melee module is incredibly strong and expensive. It  can’t attack at a distance, but it has the special ability to corrode targets over time.

Elite weapon modules

Elite modules are the rarest in the game; they have the best overall stats, although some of their stats are ridiculously low to make room for the very high numbers. They allow for the best bot customization, but are correspondingly harder to find.

  • Viira blaster: This excellent weapon does very good damage despite its relatively low price, and it can attack at both short and long ranges.
  • Naatha melee weapon: The weakest, cheapest weapon in the game, it has virtually no cost, but it has no range or attack strength to speak of.
  • Kiila missile launcher: This powerful weapon deals devastating damage at the longest range in the game, although it’s expensive and easy to deplete or destroy.
  • Rodha missile launcher: The most expensive weapon in the game, it deals incredible damage at very long distances, and it also has the special ability to affect all enemies in an area.

  • Arin wheels: The basic motion module, Arin wheels have average scores on all stats and traits.
  • Taskara rocket: The Taskara rocket is reasonably fast and cheap; it compensates its otherwise low stats with the special ability to jump over opponents.
  • Asyata legs: Asyata legs are slow, but they are cheap and get high scores in all other stats.
  • Vaahana tracks: Vaahana tracks are slow and clumsy, but very durable; they have the special ability to charge through opponents.

Advanced motion modules

Advanced modules are more specialized and less common than basic modules, with mostly higher key stats (and some lower stats to compensate).

  • Jaganatha tracks: Jaganatha tracks are among the cheapest and slowest motion modules in the game, but they are also among the most durable and resilient.
  • Duurataa wheels: A cheap, relatively weak motion module.
  • Taryakata rocket: The Taryakata motion module is extremely fast, but expensive. It has low stats elsewhere, but it has the special ability to jump over opponents.

Elite motion modules

Elite modules are the rarest in the game; they have the best overall stats, although some of their stats are ridiculously low to make room for the very high numbers. They allow for the best bot customization, but are correspondingly harder to find.

  • Viira legs: Viira legs are relatively cheap and have good overall stats.
  • Naatha wheels: The Naatha wheel module is slow and clumsy, but it has the Special ability to charge through opponents.
