Blocking attacks isn't going to get them far, so Blues is going to charge right in. Which means he's going to take both hits, but that doesn't seem to slow the robot down even when the Cleave and the sword hit the less armored parts of him. (ie: anything that isn't his boots or gauntlets.)

Sniper Joe on the other hand is going to boost Blues' defenses with a quick cast of Rakukaja.
