Standard Battle:
Both drones may crash in the battle, but the winner of each round is the drone that makes the nal attack. Replace any fallen weapons before battling again. After 10 rounds, tally up total wins to determine the ultimate battle champion. Weapon Defender:
Alternate the weapon conguration on each drone and trade weapons with your opponent to create epic battles. After each battle, do not replace any fallen weapons. The drone that can successfully remove all weapons from its opponent wins. SINGLE PLAYER MODE:
Pair one controller to one drone and practice maneuvers on your own. Set up targets throughout the room to practice stunts, landing and attacking.
