===== Confusion =====

Your robot starts wandering around uncontrollably. E.g. exposing his back to enemies taking more damage that way. It usually lasts two rounds.

{{:robotrek:item:shield3.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shield3|Shield 3]] is said to grant immunity to //Confusion//.

===== Corrosion =====

Think of it as poison. Your robot takes damage every 10 seconds until cured by applying {{:robotrek:item:clean.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:clean|Clean]] to the robot, or the robot breaks down.

{{:robotrek:item:shield2.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shield2|Shield 2]] is said to grant immunity to //Corrosion//.

Damage taken by corrosion is 2 + 1/16 of current health, but not more than 65 points at a time.

===== Critical hits =====

When a critical hit is landed, 50% more damage is dealt. Critical hits can be blocked, but ignore speed and hit rate. The final damage is still affected by the guard stat.

===== Disable =====

The //Disable// effect can disable everything from the attack menu

  * Left attack (range)
  * Right attack (melee)
  * Back attack (bomb) 
  * RUN command
  * Escape battle
  * Player interaction / using items

There are variants of the //Disable// that target a single entry like //Disable RUN//. But there is also a variant that picks one of the above at random.

//Disable random// picks one weapon at 2/9 each, and RUN, escape and item use at 1/9 each.

===== Drain =====

Life stealing. The amount of damage dealt to the opponent equals the amount of health healed of the attacker.

===== Elements =====

There are four elemental damage classes in the game

  * Fire
  * Ice
  * Lightning
  * Laser (don't ask)

Elemental weapons have one of the above affinities. Enemies can have resistance or even immunises to a certain element, or elements in general.

===== Knockback =====

The target is send across the battle field to the last tile.

{{:robotrek:item:shield1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shield1|Shield 1]] grants immunity.

===== Stop =====

Enemy attacks can disable your robot's movement. If in that state, he can no longer move on the battle field, including switching rows. However, he can still use ranged weapons and bombs.
