Security Bot

The Security Bot is a robotic guardian found in The Bunker and The Lab with 0 HP and up to 12 Shield, dealing 3x2 damage (two hits of 3) with 2 movement. As a purely shield-based enemy with Brace 2, the Security Bot absorbs significant punishment before going down and cannot be chipped by weak hits that do not exceed its Brace threshold. Rather than attacking on its own turn, the Security Bot uses a unique reactive patrol behavior that makes it an unusual and disruptive battlefield presence.

The Security Bot's defining behavior is its protective patrol: whenever any of its allies takes damage, the Security Bot moves toward the attacker and attempts to attack them, inflicting Bleed on successful hits. It does not attack during its own turn; instead, it uses that time to gain +1 movement range, steadily increasing its patrol radius as the fight progresses. This means that attacking enemies near a Security Bot draws its attention, and the longer the fight lasts, the further it can reach to punish your cats for hitting its allies. The reactive nature of its aggression makes it uniquely disruptive to hit-and-run strategies.

Shield-bypassing abilities are the most efficient counter, as the Security Bot's entire health pool is Shield-based. The Assassinate ability is particularly effective since it ignores shield and has a 50% critical hit chance. Leeches can also drain through shield to deal effective damage. If shield-piercing is not available, focus fire to break through the 12 Shield and Brace 2 in a single turn before it can accumulate movement. In mixed encounters, be aware that attacking other enemies near a Security Bot will provoke its patrol response, so consider eliminating the Security Bot first or positioning to avoid its retaliation path.
