[We're assuming this is before the manlet gets toasted with a side of pickles.

When the bot sees the same attack repeated -- it can't block the explosion, but it brings its shield arm to the explosion sphere, which if Shuda is watching closely enough... he'll see that the shield is able siphon some of the energy, though not quite enough to prevent the explosion. The electrical arm gets yeeted, all's well that ends well...

But much like in Xiao's case, the fishbowl bot will then try to use its shield arm as a battering ram. But at least its offensive capabilities have been cut.]
