1. Introduction
---------------------------------
So, been wondering around, looking for online games, and came across Gunbound,
have we? Don't know which bot to choose?
Want to know which one best suits you? Well, hopefully, this FAQ can help you.
Grub is a bot, and a very unique bot at that. And hopefully, after this FAQ,
you'll know alot more about it than you did before.....

3. Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------
Q. What does Grub look like?
A. Look at my ASCII ^_^ But, that's not very useful, because one, there are no
colours, and two, my ASCII is crap. Basically, Grub has a semi-circular body
shape, one eye visible to the players, a yellow and black colouring on the
body (which looks alot like a bee), a blue gun, and a circular metal device,
which I can only assume powers the shots.
Q. How healthy is Grub?
A. I can appoximate Grub's base health to be around 1050HP. It's so-so, not the
best out of the bots, but nowhere near the worst.
Q. How good are it's angles?
A. It can usually fire shots inbetween 30 degree angles. It's ok, nothing to
parade around about though.
Q. People are calling me a noob because I'm using Grub! ;_; Why?
A. To be perfectly honest, I don't know. Grub can be one of the most effective
bots if used properly. People just call you a noob because they're jealous
that you have skill and can use Grub, whereas they can't -_-
Q. What is Grub classed as?
A. Grub's weapon type, is "Electricty", and his mobile type, is "Creature".
Q. What avatars are good with Grub?
A. Any avatars mingle well with Grub. But to get best results, you should equip
avatars that have a high "Pit Angle". In other words, avatars which have a +
and then a shovel next to it. "Holing" enemies is very useful with this
particular bot.....
Q. I swear these angles are messed up.....
A. Well, they are. Shots 1 and SS Shot are off, by two degrees to the left.
Shot 2 works fine. The programmers obviously made a mistake.
Q. I can't use [Insert shot here] properly! Help!
A. Well, then scroll down, my friend.....

4. The Shots
---------------------------------
Grub, uses his circular metal device thingy, to fire electric balls.....
{{{Shot 1: The Single Electric Ball}}}
Base Delay: 740
Approximate Damage: 150
Damage Range: 120-180
Description: Grub fires a single blue, electrical ball into the air. It's
fairly weak, but easy to use. This shot explodes on contact, which is useful
when Shot 2 just won't do. If you like to bunge, then this isn't exactly the
best bot, but it won't hurt to try.
{{{Shot 2: The 4 Electric Balls}}}
Base Delay: 890
Approximate Damage: 200
Damage Range: Variable, roughly 150-250
Description: Probably the most prolific shot in Gunbound. Grub fires four blue,
electrical balls into the air. These balls can bounce of the edge of the maps,
raking up boomer shot bonuses, roll along the ground for a while to search for
the opponent (the actual time until explosion after hitting land is about 3
seconds, I believe), or just explode on direct contact to the opponent.
{{{SS Shot: The Poison Ball}}}
Base Delay: 1290
Approximate Damage: 500
Damage Range: Variable, can be any number. Most I know of is around 1300
Description: The evil ball of doom. Bots' HP reduces on contact. The longer the
ball is in contact with an opponent, the more damage it does. After 5 seconds
or so of contact with land, the ball explodes-however, this doesn't deal any
additional damage. This can also bounce off walls, although if it has to bounce
off walls, the likely chance that your shot will fail to do much harm. If
caught up in a tornado, this ball is likely to be dragged down to land, in
which case it explodes instantly, failing to do any damage whatsoever.
