Custom Robo Any% (and low%) Notes

If you are interested in running the game, we have a discord that you can check out where you can ask questions and find out new strats we've been talking about https://discord.gg/e4HQ5Xp

note: the low% route is the same the any% route, minus he part collection and switching parts.

My personal build for the majority of the run is Metal Ape with the 3-way gun, standard bomb s, speed pod d, and long thrusts. This can be varied in that some people prefer standard bomb f and the standard pod. Additionally, long thrust is used for zoning opponents. If you zone better without the long thrust legs then that is viable as well. The standard bomb s is used for stunning opponents to allow an approach with the 3-way.  I like using the speed pod as fast chip damage and combo extenders.

	it's an auto scroller

	There is a new route where you skip visiting the parts generator here in order to get standard bomb s earlier. Either can be used, or both can be used. It is a matter of preference for the Harry fight coming up

-day 10 
	Go to steel hearts 
	Go to HQ (bottom right) 
			Note: Fire a bomb or shoot at rahu to punish it's landing. This is one of the only good times to damage it 
-day 11 
	Go to Damien's

	Go to HQ 
	The rest is mashing 
-day 12 
	Go to steel hearts, go to police hq, go to the center room, go to the  bathroom, take the train, go outside enter z hideout 
	This segment is pretty self explanatory walk to the next fight, beat the guy, walk to the next fight 
	Use the metal ape and 3-way for all the fights 
	Just keep going to the next room and fight the people until you beat rahu. 
	Button mash for 3-4 minutes, then leave 
	Fight the two guys, then you'll get to a section where Harry needs to go to the bathroom 

	[Important]
	Keep spamming b to say you won't go with him and you'll skip a couple fights 

	Maze Route


	Keep using metal ape and 3-way for these fights.  The first fight is typically one of the harder fights in the game. 
	This next portion is again, move forward, fight a guy, move forward, until you reach rahu III 

	For Rahu III, you can use the 3-way or the Gatling. Every runner does this fight differently.  My preference is the 3-way for solid damage at a distance and heavy damage close range, the Gatling gives good damage at a distance and more stun time for your allies to hit him, but does less overall. Shotgun gets good damage in but requires you be close at all times and gives you no range.
