This room in the powerhouse is extremely empty, and has a ton of flaws like these:
- damage dealt by the different lasers varies based upon which zone you're testing it in. MC's lasers are much weaker than those on Monster Island for example.
- all lasers deal only fire damage. That's going to skew your results if you're using a passive that happens to resist fire more than average.
- You can only fire a laser once every 5 seconds or some other unreasonably long period. That's an issue if what you're testing leverages upon: stacking mechanics like defiance, energy returns, actual practical damage-taking applications.
There's a few other things as well: for one it's locked behind two different teleport-interact prompts, same with the mobility testing room, hologram room, and so forth. But first we got to make the room even useful in the first place. So, my suggestion is as follows:
New Powerhouse Laser Training room:
This is a 200x200ft. open room with a variety of robot-arm style enemies inside it. Each of these arms follows these basic limitations:
- Will only attack heroes within 25 feet of it.
- Have ultimate regeneration. They're targetable, and you could test your DPS against them (and how it'd measure in practical situations), but they will not die.
- Have set attack patterns that are predictable and listed in their descriptions. Provides consistent practice for block timing.
- Each arm has their own damage types they leverage, also listed. Each arm type corresponds to a color coding.
- Arms automatically set their level to whatever target they're currently fighting - might be apt to put them at scary rank. The point is to mitigate the need to travel to high-level zones to get testing for high-level characters, especially when nobody ever even goes to powerhouses outside of MC because you keep not putting any worthwhile content in the other zones you dinguses
The room's laser arms utilize the same rigging/animations as the robotic arms that appear in Destroid Factory, Cislunar base, etc, but are modeled to match the Powerhouse aesthetic. A mocked-up concept model example:
The types of arms would be:
Beamer Arm (blue) - Particle beams, Slams into you for Crushing damage, knocks back.
Flame Arm (red) - Has a flamethrower dealing Fire damage, bayonet that inflicts Slashing, deals DoTs.
Injector Arm (green) - Looks like a nasty syringe. Deals Toxic damage, combined with Piercing. Inflicts trauma.
Tesla Arm (cyan) - Electric arcs and Crushing damage bops with a big metal ball. Mostly does stun effects.
Cryo Arm (white) - Fires a cooling beam at you. Can snare you.
Psi-Arm (pink) - Fires mind-bending beams and swings an id blade. Might have a brain in a tank for all I know??? Has a Psi-Barrier that reflects damage you deal to it back to you.
Mystic Arm (indigo) - A... Arm that has a mystical sword affixed to it. Deals magical damage, combined with slashing. Can summon sigils and other traps that require movement.
Ebon Arm (black) - Dimensional damage from dark beams, powered by a purple crystal. Uses charged cosmic-style attacks that require the user to block, or be affected by a giant DoT.
Neutrino Arm (grey) - Does irresistable untyped damage.
Probably more to come for types as needed.

Good idea to take more use of Robotic Arms underused animations
Really nice 3D Model, what program was used for it?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
same software I use to make crappy anime memes for this game because i'm too much a shitlord to learn how to actually learn to use blender properly.

In fact it could use new rooms as well So thats the program you have been using to make your characters in 3D Memes, I always thought you were using Blender
OH WAIT! i remember this game, a friend of mine showed it to me years ago!
And it has such rich character costumization? WTF? Colour me surprised

The game has many assets, this is just one of many things on the list.
