I think it would be cool if there were viruses that had a direct impact on bots.
Here are some examples:
- A virus that will slow down chip creation as long as it exists
- A virus that will temporarily disable a bot when it hits the players bit with a special attack
- A virus that will use a special move which turns a bit (temporarily) into a virus onto the battlefield
These are just a few examples, but would make for more interesting challenges.
In addition to these there could be a "building" to be placed on the field which would protect bots from such debuffs
