Added DiffLines:

* AIBreaker: On Sorona ([[SingleBiomePlanet a desert world map]]) A.I. bots can be made stuck near the [[SandWorm tremor worm pit]] by standing near the button that activates it. The bots don't want to get eaten by the worm but cannot jump high enough to get over you, essentially getting stuck in place.
* AreaOfEffect: Examples include Clunk's self destruct, Lonestar's dynamite, Yuri's time bubble, Derpl's nuke, Voltar's healbot and Coco's lightning ball. Furthermore Lonestar's Bull can be upgraded to explode on any nearby targets once it expires and Voltar's drones can be manually self destructed to deal damage.


Added DiffLines:

* SandWorm: Sorona has these as a hazard at the bottom lane. Any player can use a button to activate the worm which will consume any players or droids unfortunate to be standing in its range.


Added DiffLines:

* SingleBiomePlanet: Ribbit IV is entirely a swamp and Sorona is a desert.

Added DiffLines:

* BackStab: Leon can get an upgrade that allows him to deal added damage if the opponent is facing away from him.


Added DiffLines:

* MesACrowd: Leon can do this with his cloak ability, leaving a low-health duplicate in his place. With some upgrades and a healer on the team, they can become almost indistinguishable from the real Leon, with all the same upgrades and damage output of the original.


Added DiffLines:

** Clunk can't seem to go a three lines without referencing a rock song.
--> ''"[[AC: Clunk; All wound up and ready to go.]]"''

None

Added DiffLines:

* TakingYouWithMe: Clunk has a self-destruct mechanism that can be activated for burst damage if the situation seems hopeless, taking a [[CastFromHitPoints decent chunk of HP]] to use and possibly denying a kill. However, not only can he do this at any time, but his armor plating is so strong that he can survive it, and with a certain perk, with barely even a scratch.

Added DiffLines:

* MirrorMatch: The same character can exist on both teams. There's even an achievement for playing against a team with the exact same set up.
* OneHitPolykill: Froggy G's fish gun can be upgraded to penetrate enemies. Useful for clearing a stacked wave of droids.
* RegeneratingHealth: Any character can buy an upgrade that gives them this effect. Furthermore, Leon has an upgrade that restores his health when he is cloaked.

Added DiffLines:
