Combat robots were combat mechs built specifically for close combat. Equipped with a "combat circuit," they were practically invincible in an uninterrupted, one-on-one melee.
Mu You's mech was performing so impressively now because of the Chaos Circuit. Paired with a rapid-fire gun, the Chaos Circuit could throw an entire enemy army into disarray, leaving it unable to use even a tenth of its strength.
