R-T is currently A-tier in Hot Zone with a score of 84/100. As a Damage Dealer, R-T sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Hot Zone.
Run Quick Maths as the default Star Power for R-T — it works in most situations. Switch to Recording on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Out of Line is the standard active pick; Hacks! is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
R-T struggles against Piper and Brock, who can out-trade R-T at the ranges or map types where R-T is most exposed. On the flip side, R-T consistently beats Bull and Rosa.
R-T performs best in Hot Zone (A-tier, 84/100). The Damage Dealer kit — sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels — is directly rewarded in Hot Zone, which is why R-T climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
R-T pairs best with Charlie and Emz. Since R-T sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play R-T well, focus on Hot Zone where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Damage Dealer that sustains high damage at mid range and wins straight-up duels. Run Quick Maths as the core build, track Piper and Brock on the enemy team, and pair with Charlie and Emz when possible.
R-T is a robot brawler who splits into two separate halves with his Super, each half capable of attacking independently before reconnecting. While split, both halves can cover different angles simultaneously, making it very difficult for opponents to deal with both at once. He is an unpredictable brawler who requires creative positioning to get the most out of the split-form Super.
When R-T splits, send one half to contest the objective while the other applies pressure from a different angle so enemies must choose which threat to address. Reconnect the two halves before either takes critical damage, as both halves share the same total HP pool.

PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Piper or Brock. Both Out of Line and Hacks! are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP

Pair R-T with Charlie or Emz when possible. Build toward 360-Degree Surveillance in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
