Robo isn't a type, but Spekkio said his attacks are essentially Shadow, which is to say that he has a little bit of everything plus a shadow attack.

This is true. That is, however, the draw of RPGs; any RPG character usually wins just by Potion/Equip/Special Tech loopholes.

Well, that's not really what I'm talking about here. I mean, if we were to allow Robo potions, then we'd have to give Megaman E-tanks, or Dr. Light could potentially just keep sending Eddie in with more power-ups for him. I consider the stuff he's actually wearing in terms of weapons and armour to be part of his actual abilities in the same way Rock's M Buster is part of his.

Edit: Besides, potion stuff in other RPGs works a lot less effectively outside of ATB-style systems.

Beowulf vs the T-X from Terminator 3. T-X has its plasma cannon disabled. Beowulf can bring the giant sword if necessary. T-X's power core has been replaced with something that's equally effective, but can't explode ever, eliminating any TPK potential.
