Botworld Best Team

[Shawnna Franz]

Whenplaying an RPG, you often need the best characters to win every match. But that might seem difficult if there are a lot of characters with different stats and abilities, which may be confusing. That's why we have created a Botworld Adventure tier list to help you pick the best characters.

As the name says, Botworld Adventure is all about exploring a beautiful, diverse world and discovering new bots. It features a bunch of varied environments where you will meet new characters, go on a treasure hunt and wander around the lush green forests.Also read:

During the battle, Botworld Adventure asks you to showcase your tactical nous to defeat the enemy. Each bot in the game can be customized and their skills are unique. So, make sure you add a variety of bots to your squad to perform better during battle.

Regarding the tier list, we have sorted them into four tiers, S, A, B and C. The bots in each tier are placed according to their current stats in the game. However, with each update, there are slight changes to the bots and we will update the tier list when required.

These are the best bots in the game. If you want to emerge victorious in every game, make sure to master one of these and pick them in each battle. There is a reason they are at the top of the Botworld Adventure tier list.

Ram is a melee bot that belongs to the Chaser category because of its speed and high mobility. Apart from its main role, players using Ram can chase down enemy bots as it has control skills where he can knock up the enemy on air after hitting them.

Bots in this tier are also good enough to pick and can dominate the game if played properly. You can always choose them before heading to a battle, but remember to pick them carefully, as they can get countered by the top tier bots.

Berserker is great at soaking up damage for the team due to its high HP. It can also be played as an initiator as its skills allow it to drag the enemy bots away from your team. In addition, it also has high burst damage.

Players can try out these bots to test their skills and go against low-level AI bots to collect rewards and in-game coins. However, this is the bottom of the Botworld Adventure tier list, so we highly advise you not to choose them when going against difficult bots or bosses.

If you want to design a great game, I recommend you study the Tour de France. This annual cycling classic is pinnacle of game design. For those not familiar with the sport, this is the time of year for you to learn what a peloton means and how traveling in the slipstream is dependent on collaboration. Why is the Tour so special? Everyday matters. Despite the race being over 2200 miles and 20 days, each day is critical. In addition, there are multiple checkpoints within a stage (day of the race) that can matter if you want to win the Green jersey for best sprinter or the Polka dot jersey for King of the Mountains. Over the course of the 3 weeks 20% of riders often drop from the tour, though that is an improvement over 30 years ago when 30% would drop out.

My father was a recreation director and thus we grew up playing all sorts of real and make believe sports -- like Pickleball, Flickerball, Pillow Polo, Suds Softball (wait the adults played, I watched as they rounded the keg at first). This love of sport has influenced me a number of ways. A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit a time trial in Grenoble, France that dictated the result of the Tour de France that year.

The reason team work is so important in the sport is that the physics of forming a slipstream allows riders in the back to conserve energy. While not advised, if you follow close enough behind a large truck you can conserve fuel economy due to limiting the force of the air hitting your car.

The physics play a critical role in one of the most exciting parts of the TdF, a sprint finish. In the build up to the finish you will see sprinters line up near the back of their team with the lead rider pushing their body to give their all for a short sprint before giving way to the next in line. Finally within the last 100 meters of the finish the best sprinter will slingshot past the team into the lead to charge to the finish. If a team starts too early the lead sprinter will peak too early and starting too late they won't hit peak in time. To accomplish this maneuver requires great skill. Here is a link to a great finish from this year's tour.

You will also see some of this work between riders as they tackle the Alps and Pyrenees mountains. These have climbs of up to 20% grade. While this may not seem steep, the next time you are driving down a steep road check out the grade. This is like going straight up a basic ski run or traversing up a black diamond run. During these climbs riders will try to break away from the pack. If a rider has teammates with him they can normally counter the attack and get back into position. On Stage 17 this was a consistent theme as Froome maintained his lead position with the help of Landa by his side (essentially sacrificing his goals for the team). At points on the climb Landa would jump in front to slow the pace to give Froome a chance to recover and then increase pace when it made sense.

I love the way scoring works for the TdF to provide incentives within each stage, at end of each stage, and ultimately at the end of the tour. This provides incentives throughout and creates additional excitement and moments for strategic thinking.

Stage Winner -- Every day there is a winner who was first. Through the first 17 stages there were 12 different stage winners, none of which is the current overall race leader. It is great that individuals can walk away from the tour with a victory in hand even if they don't win the final prize for one of the categories below. Consider the stage 17 winner Primoz Roglic, a former ski jumper, that attacked the final climb on his own and raced to the finish outpacing a group of the best riders in the world.

Best Overall Time -- Each day the rider with the best aggregate time is awarded the Yellow Jersey for the General Classification (GC) prize. This is normally worn by multiple riders through the tour, though the rider that wins often times wears the yellow jersey the most number of times during the tour.

Sprinting (Points) -- throughout each stage there can be multiple sprints where points are awarded, with sprint finishes having the most points awarded and requiring the most collaboration among a team. For example, during stage 16 Matthews picked up 20 pts for the mid-point sprint and 50 points for the sprint finish to gain points on the leader Kittel.

Best Climber -- like sprinting there can be multiple mountains within a stage, though nothing beats a mountain finish like today's Col D'Iozard finish of this year's Tour de France. Each hill and mountain has a different rating, with HC (beyond category) being the most difficult and Cat 4 being the least difficult. Finishing first on an HC is worth 20 points and 1pt on a Cat 4.

Most Combative -- each day a rider is given out an award for challenging other riders by being more aggressive with their style. This is one of the best awards (IMO) given you are awarded for challenging the status quo. These are the riders that force others to react and change their strategy. The award is given out each day

Best Team -- While not as well publicized the best team represents the team with the lowest aggregate time of their top 3 riders by stage. This is somewhat similar to a best ball format in golf where for each stage you sum up the time of the top 3 riders.

This year started in Gemany, last year started in France. A fun part of TdF is that they try to start in different countries each year to bring together Europe. Imagine if your favorite game had a different start every time you played it. This would through most gamers off and leave the best gamers to strive. While many elements are the same, there are lots of unknowns that come with changing the course. Weather is one of the biggest unknowns. While the weather is generally good, there are days when it is windy, wet, and/or hot (yes over the course of multiple hours and hundreds of miles a rider could see multiple versions).

Having grown up in the mountains I'm partisan to the mountain stages for their beauty and the toll they put on the riders. Each year of the tour the number of climbs varies and the routes up mountains vary too. If you talk to someone who follows the tour they will remember some of the major climbs like Alpe D'Huez and Ventoux. In 2016 Ventoux produced one of the wildest finishes as the winner of the TdF was hit by a motor bike, started to run up the hill and then got on what looked like a clown bike to finish (video here).

This year Stage 17 has two HC climbs with one climb as high as 9000 ft in elevation with over 6000 ft of elevation gain. This is then followed up an HC mountain finish on Col D'Izoard, which is the first time in the history of the tour and 3rd highest finish. During stage 17 the leader for the green jersey crashed and abandoned the TdF which essentially means that the rider in second place just needs to make it to Paris. This type of variability is what makes for great game design.

Hopefully this overview will inspire designers of products and games to look to the real world for future inspiration, and maybe even make a few more cycling fans out there. If you have the opportunity to experience the tour in person it is highly recommended. Enjoy the end of this year's Tour, with the start of another grand adventure next year in Vendee France.

The 2017 TdF ended with Froome winning his 4th GC title. One of the major follow up stories was that the #2 rider on his team, Mikel Landa, ended up in 4th (missing the podium by 1 second). On the Col d'Izoard Mikel kept Froome in front, but lost 12 s to help his teammate. This highlights one of the key factors of the game design. There are a few days in the TdF that dictate the end result. On a flat or hilly day the Peloton almost always finish at the same time, which leaves the TdF overall winner to be decided based on a few mountain days and the time trials. Froome cemented his victory by taking advantage of this dynamic. After two strong days in the Alps there was a flat stage where Team Sky ensured that Froome would be in the best shape possible for the final time trial to essentially determine the end result. On the day of time trial Froome was strong and gained time on his competitors. To some extent the best overall rider needs to be strong in the mountains and a strong time trial rider. The other days are mostly about finishing without an accident. Understanding the race dynamics enable team's to build their strategy. Next year will be interesting as Froome's best sidekick will likely lead his own team.
