Super Bot Brawl Guide: Picking your race
About
OverviewSuper Bot Brawl is a wave-defense game where you fight off a massive bot army as a soldier of the Gear Alliance. You pick one of three races, level it up through increasingly tough forms, and work your way through Easy, Normal, and Hard modes before taking on the Hardcore zone. This guide covers how to pick a race, how the mode ladder works, what to do in Endless, and how to get stronger along the way.

Sword Race forms and when you get them
StepSword Race starts you off as Sword Soldier at level 0 and opens new forms as your race level climbs. Each form is noticeably stronger, faster, and more durable than the one before it.
- Sword Soldier your starting form at level 0
- Sword Brute gains Sword Slam, a splash attack that hits groups of bots
- Sword Hero unlocks at level 10; adds Sword Spin, which lets you fly and deal rapid damage
- Sword Mech unlocks at level 20; gains Super Sword Slam, launching you into the air before crashing down for heavy area damage
- Sword Colossus the final form; 3500 base HP, only two can be active on one server at a time and it is locked to Normal mode or higher

| Spike Slam | 10 s | 700 | 805 |
| Inferno Mode | 80 s | No damage — boosts all attacks 1.5x and inflicts Burn | — |
