I would like to have the ability to buy upgrades for the bots in Cross-fire. This would be identical to the enhancements bots gain every 10 levels in Blitz. I suggest this because the bots at their standard strengh and speed levels are similar to a damp peice of of toilet paper. Making it rather difficult to get them to the enemy money ball even if all the enemy turrets are down. By the way this could make it much easier to end games before Over Time starts I know a lot of people have been complaining about Over time and that is the reason this last run on sentence is here.
I would personally love this but only as a ability of a 7th class otherwise this would make Crossfire far too easy and "upgrade" is only temporary, the class has to be beaming the robot, if stopped or killed the upgrade wears off after 5-10 seconds.
I suggested this in another thread, but a new type of tower that upgrades the friendly bots that walk through it would be a good way to implement this.
You should only be able to upgrade your classes' summoned bots, and would only affect bots that you spawn yourself. Gap Shot: Level 2: 2 cannons Level 3: 3 cannons Gremlins: level 2: More Damage Level 3: More Speed Buzzers: Level 2: Larger AOE Level 3: Knockback Scramblers: Level 2: Larger AOE Level 3: More Health Bouncers: Level 2: Increased Damage Level 3: Increased Speed
I could possibly see this working, but the upgrade would have some downsides. For one each upgrade should double the cost of the bot. Additionally each upgrade would double the recharge timer for spawning more bots. That means at level 3 you can spawn one bot for $400 every 40 seconds. Someone might come right behind you and want to spawn some cheap bots but be unable to do so for quite some time.
