Behaviour
The Plasma Saw-bot has a projectile that is unique to this enemy. The projectile will fly straight toward the player until hitting a surface. After hitting the surface, the projectile will stick to the surface for a short amount of time and then fly toward the player again until it hits another surface or the player. Once it his a surface the second time, the projectile disappears.

During the stun-able attack, the Plasma Saw-bot shoots its projectiles in all directions without regard to the location of the player.

During the non-stun-able attack, the Plasma Saw-bot shoots three waves of 3 projectiles toward the player.
