Depends. I normally open with a fortress when I play Brobots. I can have a shot turn one if my opponent sets up opposite me and goes forward far enough, or I can kick back and relax.
That's one fun thing about Glitter/Crack/FCS 'bots with IG88-C: "Hi, welcome to Round 1 combat, where I have Evade, perma-Focus, and a TL after flubbing my first attack*, what do you have?"
*And Autothrusters and you have no bonus agility against my HLC. Trololololololo.
Unfortunately, people tend to get wise to that in a hurry. None of my regular opponents will go beyond a straight-1 from their deployment zone anymore so they don't get hit by that.
