questions

I was fighting against Xeldier, and this happened:

Vahe poked Devastator with its tower shield, but it had no effect whatsoever. (0 damage)

According to the results table, Xeldier had 8 hit attempts (like he was wielding dual weapons) and I had 4 hit attempts (my bot has a shield equipped).

Another strange thing (apart from his shield acting like a weapon) was that his dark avenger was doing no damage, though I've only got 64% absorb.

Does anyone know why this happens? Is it due to equipment wearing out? Or is poking things the equivalent of not doing anything in bots? Thanks

your shield is broken, go buy a new one.

Thanks for sating my curiostiy. Does that mean the weapon is also broken?

wait wait wait... since when was it cool for shields to be weapons?

it was a couple of months ago i think, when a shield gets 0 durability left it no longer can be used as a shield, it becomes a weapon that will always hit 0.

Ya, that bot of mine has all equip down to 0% condition, I won't even try rebuilding it because it would take forever to get kudos from the train bots.

You could just sell the equipment, equip non-unique's and then train. Would be much quicker.

I decided to leave it for now.
