Breakthrough is an excellent attack to use because of Psi Shard 1.0‘s armor-stripping ability. It doesn’t cost you much, so putting it to work early on to inflict a little damage makes sense; or team it up with Red Spike to peel away some arrogant Magnamod‘s Armor. On the other hand, Psi Shard 1.0′s Driller, used mid-game, will start piercing Armor in no time if stripping it away isn’t your favorite strategy. Add a Blue Spike to the mix, and you’ll be inflicting serious damage in no time. Not all Nanovor inflict a lot of damage, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t effective — case in point, Psi Drain. Play it fairly quickly, at mid-game, when your opponent is low on Energy, and you’ll not only create a fizzle, you’ll steal some Speed from those Nanovor that seem to always beat you to the finish line.

Cyber Slicer 2.0 is a quick and agile Nanovor, and is able to deal damage before taking much damage. It is also best used in the later stages of a match when your opponent’s Nanovor are running on fumes. There is no particular strategy I would use for its attacks and they can be pretty much used whenever. If your opponent lays down a Spike, use Crashoverride because his ability to combo will be busted. If you are going up against some tough armor, then use Phreak to soften it up a little.

In the middle of a match is the best time to utilize Cyber Shark 1.0. Find yourself running low on Strength? Use a Blue Spike override and throw down Thrash. Thrash boosts your Strength by 10, and when used with a Blue Spike, does additional damage along with the override. For Nanovor that are heavily armored then your best bet is to use Cyber Shock. The thickest of armor can’t withstand Cyber Shock because it will bust right through and deal some medium damage to your opponent. One of the most destructive attacks in the game is Depth Charge. It costs 5 energy, but you won’t be disappointed. Save up your EN and unleash your Depth Charge because it is guaranteed to lay down some nasty damage.
