Lab Defense DX (Discontinued (obviously))

Please read my latest message
So a few years ago, TailsMK4 released a forum game called Mega Man RPG: Lab Defense. I played in it and enjoyed it. Then, like a lot of forum games, Tails stopped updating it (tbf I'm probably the most guilty out of everyone in the forums of this particular crime). I apparently can't spend any sort of productive energy on actually productive things during weekends, so I remade it. Hopefully I can keep it going a bit longer.
How to Play (while copy and pasting some things from the original thread):
The battles take place in a large-ish area (a map of the current "turn" will be shown on each post), and you must carefully decide what enemies to take on or what other actions to do (more on those to come as areas are successfully defended). Each robot in the field can move a certain number of spaces per turn.
Each turn, all allied robots perform 1 action. 1 action consists of moving, then either trading with an adjacent ally, interacting with npc/objects, performing a command, otherwise known as an attack, or nothing and just waiting it out. Once all allies have performed an action, the turn ends and all enemies will perform their actions. This repeats until either side achieves victory.
To send an action, either reply to the thread (the preferred method) or ping me on the MMRPG discord in the #roleplay channel. If all but one player has sent an action and ~24 hours have passed since the start of the turn, your action will be skipped/automated to keep the game going.
If you're adjacent to an ally when dealing or taking damage, you'll perform a Linked Attack or Linked Defense. These will increase your damage dealt and reduce your damage taken respectively, as well as improve the Link between the two allies. If there are multiply adjacent allies, only the strongest Link will be activated. The stronger the Link, the greater the buffs.
Despite the name "Lab Defense DX," not all maps will be defense maps. Most will, but not all. Ideally. Either way, on a defense map, you'll be tasked with, well, defending an npc ally, a certain tile, or some other plot-important object. The Victory and Defeat conditions of every map will be displayed at the start of the battle and will be visible all throughout the skirmish.
Upon leveling up, your stats will increase and you'll get to pick between 2 randomly-generated commands, passives, or additional stat increases. You'll gain EXP when dealing damage, supporting allies in a Link, defeating foes, using support commands on other allies, or interacting with certain npcs/objects.
Character Creation:
When creating a character, your character sheet should look like this:
Name:
Icon:
HP:
WE:
ATK:
DEF:
SPD:
LCK:
Core Type:
Sub-Core Type:
Weakness:
Resistance:
All of this is kinda gibberish so let's go down the list
Name - The name of your character.
Icon - The Icon you want to represent this character (use [robot] or [mecha] formatting to pick). Pick someone that hasn't already been used.
The Stats:
You will have 20 points to distribute among your stats. While you can have less if you so choose, you cannot have more.
HP: Hit Points. How much damage you can take before you fall. Robots with 0 or less HP can still support adjacent allies, but cannot perform any actions. Sometimes referred to as "Energy." Points put in HP are doubled. If you put no points into HP, you will start the game with 1 HP.
WE: Weapon Energy. Used to activate most commands. Naturally Replenishes at 1 WE a turn. Points put into WE are doubled
ATK: Attack. Increases how much damage you deal.
DEF: Defense. Reduces how much damage you take.
SPD: Speed. Determines how far you can move. For every 2 SPD you have, you can move 1 space.
LCK: Luck. Affects various luck-based factors.
In addition to these points, you can choose to assign a boon and a bane. Boons will grant +2 in that stat (+4 for HP and WE), increase how much of that stat you earn upon leveling up, and grant certain commands right out of the gate. Banes do the opposite. You cannot merely have a boon and no bane. To assign the boon and bane, place a (+) or (-) respectively to the stat of your choice.
Core Type: Determines earned commands and passives.
Sub-Core: Determines earned commands. Cannot equip any commands of this type above 2* rarity. All 2* or lower Neutral type commands can be equipped even without a Neutral Sub-Core
* If you choose to forgo a Sub-Core, you'll start off with 1 additional random 1* passive and passive slot.
You can select any types that appear in the prototype except for the following, as they have been altered to a different type:
* Laser --> Neutral
* Shield --> Neutral
* Copy --> Neutral
* Crystal --> Earth
* Missile --> Explode (usually)
* Time --> Spacetime
* Space --> Spacetime
* Shadow --> Varies
If it isn't in this list and appears in the "Types Database" on this website, it's available.
Weakness: Attacks of this type deal double damage.
Resistance: Attacks of this type deal half damage.
Your character MUST have a weakness. If you do not assign a Weakness, one will be assigned to you randomly based on your Core type.
The last parts of your character are decided by your Core, Sub-core, and boons/banes.
Commands: Attacks utilized after moving. Also includes support skills and movement skills. All characters have 6 Command slots at the start, though they may gain more upon leveling up.
Passives: Abilities that either grant a static buff or activate an effect when conditions are met. You typically cannot manually activate a passive. All characters have 3 Passive slots at the start, though they may gain more upon leveling up.
Example:
Name: Magic Man
Icon:
HP: 6
WE: 6(+)
ATK: 6
DEF: 2(-)
SPD: 4
LCK: 2
Core type: Cutter
Sub-Core Type: Swift
Weakness: Wind
Resistance: Spacetime
The above sheet would grant the following:
Commands: Buster Shot, Slide, Charge Weapons, Rolling Cutter, Quick Strike
Passives: WE +5, Cutter Expertise
Database
Click here to view the database
The database is split up into 4 sections: Command, Enemy, Passive, and Players. You may notice that a lot of the entries are simply "???." I've left just enough information in the database to help you decide how to build your character. As you progress through the game and discover new commands, enemies, and passives, the database will be filled up. Keep in mind that I intend to add new entries as we progress through the game, so don't go thinking there's just 4 enemies in the game.
The "Players" section contains all in-depth information on your robots. Here's a shortcut to the Players section

@Soren : The closest enemy is 3 spaces away, which is outside the range of Buster Shot. Do you want to simply wait, or consume 4 WE and activate Quick Strike?

Parallel Fuse Man moves one space to the left, one space northward, and another one to the left, and zaps Metall 3 with a Thunder Strike!
It's not quite Scramble Thunder, but it'll do for now.

@RotomSlashBlast : Technically, that move is illegal as it would cost 8 SPD total to make that move (Woods cost 4 SPD to move into). However, you could make that same move for 6 SPD by going 1 space upwards and 2 spaces left (you can pass through allies, you just can't end your space on them).
Fuse Man unleashes Thunder Strike at 16 might!
Fuse Man gained 30 EXP!
@Soren : Well, there aren't enemies within range. Do you want to simply wait or activate some other non-combat command?

If we could send someone to just take out the boss, all the other enemies will flee!
The boss is indicated by a yellow star on the map.

Crap, that probably wasn't the best move. Gonna need some backup here. Though, for some reason, I feel like moving towards my target.Parallel Fuse Man moves a space northward and shoots at Beta Metall 1 with Buster Shot!

it, there's nothing we can do... Even if I slide up to that boss Metall, it won't matter if I'm just going to end up killed by it and one of the other two over there... Unless...Beta Man moves left a space and (assuming Parallel Fuse Man hasn't defeated it yet) attacks Beta Metall 1 with Buster Shot

@Soren : It's not a bug, it's just that the post was being worked on before yours. So, it's just the weird way posts are sent. :P
