just fire it. and if he fires more missles, laser them to death.

[Fengar]

>FIRE!!!

[September]

Glad you got it fixed.
Did the HR already fire or is about to? If it hasn't...FIRE!

[snoomanwaff]

>Don't fire anything, prepare to go underground if the ball starts firing and wait for your harmonic resonater to make it fall apart.

[Disva]

You fire the Harmonic Resonator, destroying some of the outer mechanics of the Ball, while alerting it to your presence. You should probably run.

Trying out a new effect for the weapon. Feedback?

Also, energy is now 80, it was supposed to be 100 in the previous panel.

Looks great to me.

>Head back underground before he can fire back.

[redaeth]

Dive! Pity we don't have a decoy or a holoemitter to trick to run at us so we can get behind it.

[snoomanwaff]

> Get down! Try to sneak up your opponent again.
Also buy a radar when you get your first fight money.

[Haze]

Hmmm... The Ball is the Worm's "worst enemy", correct? In that case, whoever Operates that Ball will be expecting Worm-like tactics. What if we do something a little more, shall we say, unorthodox? Something unexpected.

> Dive. Surface. Dive. Surface. Continue to do so, avoiding but tracking the enemy. When enough momentum is achieved. Surface with full force, launching into the air, and landing atop the Ball drill-first. DrillCrush = Epic win.

Or, failing that:

> Fail miserably, yet in a hilarious way that somehow increases the chances of victory.

Do this, but use the grenades and harmonic resonator at the same time on it.

Only > Don't use grenades, because the Grenade Launcher was damaged. That is only a last resort.

MustDoItNow! (Please?)

You dive, but the Ball releases a storm of gunfire, shredding your Sol Heat Laser, and one Hades Heat Laser.

Calculus exam tomorrow, need to study...

And, thanks!

>Head towards him again. We shouldn't need to come up until we're near him as we know where he is.

[Haze]

What happens if we just dig? Straight down, not coming up?

[snoomanwaff]

>Try to get behind the ball again.

[Disva]

What happens if we just dig? Straight down, not coming up?

You dig down and stay down.

However, now you do not have visual confirmation of the Ball's presence.

Mostly the feedback I got about the fights is that they are too long and whatnot...I can't think of a way to fix it without having rigged fights, though...

[Fengar]

>Move to where you last knew he was.

[Haze]

I meant that as a question, but no matter...
> Check everything to see if we can get any position on the Ball, and to ascertain the condition of our Worm.
> Make a mental note to get some sort of non-visual tracking device so that this strategy can be viable.
> If a location of the opponent has been found, rise directly under him and fire the Harmonic Resonator. Else, rise as subtly as possible until a target can be aquired, then fire any remaining Lasers.

What if we dig out an area under him? Causing it to collapse an knock him off balance? And I like the long fights.

[Disva]

>Move to where you last knew he was.

This is the spot where you last saw it...should you come fully aboveground...?

Oh, ohkay!

[Fengar]

Do that.

[Haze]

DO NOT COME OUT MORE. > Search the area methodically and thoroughly, keeping aboveground exposure to a minimum. Once he is found, do the diggy pit thing.

[Xindaris]

But it's a ball, isn't it? As in, a sphere? How can a sphere even be off balance?

[snoomanwaff]

But it's a ball, isn't it? As in, a sphere? How can a sphere even be off balance?

At the very least if it works the ball should be unable to or have difficulty moving, meaning we can move to it's blind spot if it has one and finish it off.

[Haze]

I as reading it as a pit trap-type attack. \•/

[Disva]

DO NOT COME OUT MORE. > Search the area methodically and thoroughly, keeping aboveground exposure to a minimum. Once he is found, do the diggy pit thing.

You begin searching for the Ball, staying mostly underground...

And hit a powerful mine, destroying the "head" of the Worm.

You have lost. However, you have now gone through the training.

[Haze]

Well... poo. Poopoopoopoo.
> Fight a real battle to save face. AND DO NOT FIGHT ANOTHER BALL.
Think about it this way. That Ball was supposed to be your fight for when you didn't know how to fight. Now imagine a Ball that expects you to use every trick you can. In that imagining, you have imagined certain doom for our little Worm, at least until we can get some sort of radar-detector thing. These battles have convinced mae of the usefullness of such a device.
