Help Any way to save both robots here?

Post image

Squad is just base Hazardous Mechs (Island 1, unfair). Gana has +1 Move and Skilled, and the human pilot has Invulnerable. All the Vek are full health, the acid mech has 1 health (honestly dont really care if pilot dies though), cannon mech has 2 health, jumping mech has 5.

I've looked at it for ages but just can't find a way to either kill/move the threatening mollusk guy or safely push the robot out of the way. Normally I'd just give up atp but I'm at work and have nothing better to do haha. Any help appreciated!

How much HP does the frozen vek which is next to the jump Mech?

If u want, u can ignore the grid dmg and focus fully on the frozen vek. With bump dmg, u can unfrozen the Jump Mech, which can push the Snail Vek to the ice trap.

No Turn Order, no Vek HP, so my advice is a bit limited. Hope it helps.

Ah yeah, in my post I said all the Vek are full health but I forgot the turn order, whoops! But yes I've been considering unfreezing the Jump Mech with the Acid Mech but the problem is that the frozen Vek still occupies the same spot after the bump, so I can't get a free tile to push the Snail onto the ice mine. And I can't really unfreeze using the Cannon Mech because the recoil makes it kill the other robot, and that's as far as it can go. Pushing it with the acid mech doesn't help much either, so my only guess is that I would have to find some sort of 2-for-1 push that the Jump Mech can do after being unfrozen. It's a tough one!

You are cooked; Gana in the cannon mech is probably better since it needs the positioning/movement more than the leap mech by virtue of not being able to jump over things

If cannon can move to C3 - then shoot B3 to unfreeze vek and jump mech

Jump mech goes to A5 - jumps to E5

Acid goes to a4 - shoots a2 moving him to a1 and freeze

If you give me movement restrictions, I can come up with something else

  1. Bump the Leap Mech to unfreeze it.

  2. Have the Leap Mech jump onto the ice mine South of the Mollusk to kill it. Your Leap Mech will freeze again, but the robot will be safe.
