The Tesla Blade is a weapon that deals damage on contact with an enemy robot.

Overview

Tesla blades output a large amount of damage upon contact with enemy robots. It is Robocraft's only melee weapon. Tesla blades are often combined with the Ghost Module to create stealthy attack craft.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Can allow for stealthy attacks
• Effective at close range
• Works well alongside the Ghost Module and Blink Module

Cons

• The tesla blade has low health
• The range is very limited

Strategies & Counters

Tesla blades are easily countered if you can see the enemy. If the enemy is using a Ghost Module listen and watch for hints that they may be nearby, such as a dulling of sounds or flicker in the air. Lasers can be particularly useful for specifically targeting the blades themselves. Railguns are going to struggle with the close range combat.
