Sword5
The sword5 behaves a lot like a real person....... with a complete lack of spatial awareness, or sense of self preservation, also with max energy..... OK enough joking, onto his AI

Defensive behaviors

When you kick in his direction, jetpack at him, or swing a hammer at him he will back off, this also applies to them mid dash, but it isn't saving you for a long period of time, but it may get him to go away just long enough for you to formulate a plan

Offensive Behaviors

He will perfectly time a swing to have the followthrough come while he is dashing, this results in instant death if he lands it, the best solution is to wait for his dash to finish, then bOp him with the hammer, he won't back off in time and this allows all the things he backs away from to work

His Upgrades

The sword5 has 4 energy bars, fire sword 1, and max block arrows, in addition to get up, so plan accordingly and: don't use the bow, don't expect him to be down long enough to efficently combo him, and you aren't dead instantly on hit
Bow5
The bow5 is a very unique roobit, he has a backflip that replaces his dash that he uses to get behind you, that is his only unique quality though, but it makes him really annoying to fight off because of it

Defensive Behaviors

if you are close enough he yeets himself into the air and backflips behinds you, this eventually fails and you can kill him though, jetpack is best used to force his backflip defenses to fail

Offensive Behaviors

He shoots you.... I guess, that is it, you can dodge or block them so don't worry, however he shares his targeting speed with the jetpackarcher, which is the fastest targeting speed in the game

His Upgrades

He has four energy bars, fire arrows one, max arrow size, get up, and his arrows S p i n, so you aren't dead upon hit, it takes a bit for him to not jump and to just... d i e, and the spinny arrows are a useless so don't worry about them, and he gets up quickly, he can be comboed because of how massive his head is
Hammer5
I don't see him often in workshop levels, but he is basically a hammer3 with dash AI strapped to him

Offensive Behaviors

He has the dash combo AI similar to the sword5 but he only does it as an offensive move rather than offensive+speed/pursuit but he has a hammer3 sized hammer so don't worry about it

Defensive Behaviors

He sometimes dodges arrows.... he doesn't have the backup mechanic/behavior by what I know

His Upgrades

He has max hammer size, and his weapon scales with his size, so his hammer is the size of a small planet and his reach is insane, he has 4 energy bars, and fire hammer, the best counterplay to him is the bow however, and abusing the fleetcaptain effect, which is a nickname to the fact that the hilt of a hammer is not lethal, so you can back against a wall and if you are nimble enough can make the head hit the wall and get a clean shot on him because they are too dumb to back up and hit you properly

I use flame breath, it turns them from monsters to complete push-overs

wait, there's strategy to this game? i just swing swords and hammers a round, sometimes i abuse the spear range as well. :steamhappy:

also they only attack you at a certain point so you can click and then if your fast enough dash at the same time to do a dash and take them down without a thing of damage. (spear only)

additionaly if your incredibly good at the game and they are being cheap, you can be cheap too, depending on how godly you are at the game you can use the spear to precisely chop off their heads with lightning fast speeds. or you could just make them hit eachother, one is clearly cooler.

just get better at the game, i have minimal trouble if its one on one tier 5's the only time i struggle is just when its cheap, like the hammer mark 5 having a 1 shot weapon with that big of a hitbox i struggle even with the spear to hit him before it hits me. other than that im not struggling.
