Ready Player One Mechagodzilla is a mechanical kaiju that first appeared in the 2011 novel, Ready Player One, and the 2018 Warner Bros. film of the same name.
Overview
Ready Player One Mechagodzilla is a fairly powerful kaiju. He has a wide arsenal of melee attacks and one ranged beam attack, that being his Atomic Flamethrower attack, which cannot be controlled, unlike other beam attacks. Attacks 4 and 5 can only be used when idle or walking. Attack 3 has incredible range and 2 can be used to side-hit an enemy.
Mechagodzilla also has an Overcharge bar that can be increased when using the Overcharge utility, activated by using the V key. This meter can buff attack damage by 57.27%. When using the utility, it can increase the bar by 25% each time.
Combat Tips
Rpo is meant to attack its opponents from a range for most of a fight. This is why using health points is usually not recommended. Avoid direct confrontation unless you can punish the enemy. Attack 1 is almost always impractical. Attack 2 is good and has delays to use in case another kaiju closes the distance. Attack 3 is a ranging tool. At 100% overdrive, you get two charges. The second charge takes no charge. It is best to save your Atomic Flamethrower for this. Use missiles in junction with your flamethrower to chip at an enemy’s health from a distance.
Punish your enemy for using a beam by spamming 1 and 2 with Overcharge.
Builds
Due to RPOs second 100% Overcharge boost taking no charge, RPO never needs charge since his playstyle is an EXTREME hit-and-run.
- 10 speed, 10 damage.
- 6 health, 6 speed, 8 damage.

| Atomic Flamethrower | 30 | 750/1200 | 70 | Unaimable Beam | A powerful smoke breath. However, its range is one of the shortest in the game, so it is recommended to use it for medium distances. Can be treated like a pulse by constantly spinning. | |
