In War Robots, an Aphid is a missile weapon designed to lock onto its target before firing. Once locked, the missiles automatically home in, making them great for hitting slower-moving enemies with larger hitboxes.
The Aphid family of missiles can deal percentile damage, which means they can consistently chip away at an enemy’s health. This makes them particularly useful against tougher opponents.
Pairing Aphid missiles with weapons that create a lockdown effect can be very effective. The lockdown effect slows down enemies, making it easier for the missiles to hit their targets.
Aphid missiles require some time to lock onto their targets, so patience is key. Once fired, they can be a game-changer, especially against slower robots.
