Strategy Guide[]
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.- The Repair Torch has a very short range so it is only worth damaging enemies for a novelty.
- Try using it when your opponent has very low health or is knocked down. It's not practical, but you'll look cool if you do.
- You can use the Repair Torch to repair Metal structures without spending Materials on repairing.
