In the video game Batman: Arkham Knight, players can encounter the Riddler and his army of robots. These robots are designed by the Riddler to make himself less dependent on Gotham City's average street thugs and criminals. To beat the Riddler's electric robots, players must first complete a series of puzzles, riddles, and challenges. Once all the requirements are met, players can engage the Riddler and his robots in combat. During the boss battle, the Riddler appears in a mech suit and alternates between attacking with a large green beam and summoning coloured robots to fight alongside him. Players must match the colours of the robots with the character they are controlling—only Batman can attack the blue robots, and only Catwoman can attack the red ones. Players must also dodge the Riddler's laser beams and wait for his machine to hit the ground before attacking. With the help of Catwoman, players can defeat the Riddler and his electric robots through team maneuvers and attacks.

What You'll Learn
Use the Remote Electrical Charge to knock them down
To beat Riddler's electric robots, you can use the Remote Electrical Charge (REC) to knock them down. The REC is a gun that can be used to lock the robots in place for a few seconds, allowing you to then use a grappling hook to slam them to the ground. This technique may require several cycles of knocking them to the ground before they stay down.
The REC can be particularly useful against the different coloured Riddlerbots. The blue ones can only be struck and countered by Batman, and the red ones can only be struck and countered by Catwoman. Attempting to strike or counter the wrong colour will result in an electric shock that will end any combos and deal damage. Therefore, the REC can be used to safely disable the robots without having to worry about their colour.
The REC can also be used to defuse bombs in the rioters' heads and to stop Riddler Bomb victims. It is an essential gadget to have when facing Riddler's electric robots and can be found in the GCPD's Evidence Locker.

Dodge the Riddler's large green beam
To dodge the Riddler's large green beam, you must first complete a series of tasks. This side quest is part of Gotham's Most Wanted in Batman: Arkham Knight.
First, you must solve the Riddler's 10 trials to free Catwoman from the Pinkney Orphanage. Then, with Catwoman by your side, you must take out all the Riddler Bots. The Riddler will then appear in a mech suit, summoning coloured Riddler Bots to the fight. He will be shielded and will alternate between changing the colours of the Bots and charging a large green beam that you must dodge.
To dodge the beam, you must first defeat all the other robots. Then, the Riddler will insist that you are not ready to face him until you have solved all his Riddles, found every Riddler Trophy, destroyed every Breakable Object, and saved every Bomb Rioter. Once you have found everything, return to the Orphanage and press the button to measure your completion rate. The Riddler will reappear with his mech suit and a swarm of Riddler Bots. This time, Catwoman will not be by your side.
During the fight, the Riddler will alternate between changing the colours of the Bots and firing an explosive green beam. Dodge the beam and continue to attack the Riddler.

Match robot colours with the character you're controlling
In Batman: Arkham Knight, Riddlerbots are a unique type of enemy designed and built by The Riddler to make himself less dependent on Gotham City's average street thugs and criminals. They are encountered in most Riddler Challenges that do not require the Batmobile.
To beat Riddler's electric robots, you will need to match the robot colours with the character you are controlling. During the Riddler's Revenge side quest, Riddler will summon coloured Riddler Bots to the fight. These robots will be either red or blue. Only Batman can attack and block the blue ones, and only Catwoman can block and harm the red ones.
Therefore, to beat these robots, you will need to switch between Batman and Catwoman depending on the colour of the robot you are facing. This can be achieved by tagging out whenever there are bots of another colour that need to be defeated.
Additionally, you can use the Voice Synthesizer to manipulate the Riddler-bots, which will stun the Riddler and make him angry. You can also use the Batmobile's 60mm cannon to take them down.

Use team attacks to eliminate the robots quickly
To beat the Riddler's electric robots in Batman: Arkham Knight, you must first understand that the blue robots can only be struck and countered by Batman, and the red ones can only be struck and countered by Catwoman. Attempting to strike or counter the wrong colour will result in an electric shock that will end any potential combos and cause damage.
To eliminate the robots quickly, use team attacks. One strategy is to use the Dual-Takedown attack, which allows you to take out a bot regardless of its colour. This is especially useful when you need to tag team and swap partners to wipe out bots of different colours. For example, when one character needs to stand on a raised panel to disable an electrified floor, you can swap to the other character to take out the bots that require a different colour to strike and counter.
Another strategy is to use gadgets. The Remote Electrical Charge (REC) gun can lock one or two robots in place for a few seconds, allowing you to grapple hook another and slam it to the ground. The freeze blast grenade can also be used to freeze the robots. Additionally, certain Special Combo moves, such as those of Catwoman, allow her to deal damage without striking the bots directly.
It is important to build your combo meter and maintain a high combo counter to increase your damage output and potentially take out multiple robots in a single attack. However, avoid takedowns and counters as they can break your combo and cause you to lose the damage bonus provided by the free flow system. Instead, focus on punching and using quick attacks to take out the robots.

Solve all of the Riddler's trophies and other collectibles
To solve all of the Riddler's trophies and other collectibles, players will need to explore various locations in Gotham, including Bleake Island, Chinatown, and the Clock Tower. Here are some detailed instructions for obtaining certain trophies:
Bleake Island:
- Use the Batmobile winch to pull down the wall of question marks inside a warehouse. Shoot each question mark as it passes under the rings along the wall, making sure to hit the centre mark last.
- Bust through a weak wall with the Batmobile's cannon to find a trophy on the other side.
- Reach the place with two containers. Use the Batarang on the question mark on the left container to raise them, then enter the building. Stand on the pressure plate and grab the trophy with the Batclaw.
- Use the remote-controlled Batarang to hit a button, which will crush Riddler's robots and allow you to safely leave the building.
- Find the trophy located inside one of the buildings near the water. Use the Batmobile to destroy the weakened wall blocking access to the building.
Chinatown:
- Defeat the three Riddler bots on the rooftop of Osamu Tower in Chinatown three times each to unlock the trophy.
- Grapple to the overpass northeast of Perdition Bridge in Chinatown. Step on the switch to activate a Riddler video, then use the Remote Batarang to locate the bomb victim among rioters and deactivate the bomb.
Clock Tower:
- Use the Batmobile's winch to pull the wheel inside the cage forward, then shoot an electrical charge into the generator to temporarily open the door. Grab the trophy inside and grapple up to the balcony.
- Enter the abandoned building north of the Clock Tower to find another trophy. Use the Voice Synthesizer to send the Riddler bot inside and have it dismantle the first sentry gun. Temporarily disable the second gun with the Remote Hacking Device and command the bot to retrieve the trophy.
It is important to note that some trophies may be unavailable until later in the story, and certain gadgets may be required to retrieve them. Players should also keep an eye out for breakable objects placed by the Riddler, which can be destroyed to obtain collectibles.
