It's not that the bot itself doesn't have, per say, a use, it's just that pretty much every other bot in-game outranks it with all possible successful builds. Individually speaking, the assault bot by itself isn't bad. But, as I said in the quote, there are other bots that outrank it. Rebuffing intimidate with the assault bot is almost never worth it because you're only giving yourself a few damage or less back per turn from strength-based attacks, meaning it doesn't have any effect if you just ignore intimidate and focus on your aux attack, skills, and your bot for the short 3 turns it lasts. As for debuffs, blood shield does much better for TLM as it lasts longer and barely costs any health to use. In almost any situation a level 1 blood shield will equal or surpass the resistance brought back from an assault bot. And the build you're describing is a 1/50 or even less of a chance of showing up. If one were to consider every possible successful build for every class and every bot combination, I'm pretty sure assault bot would be ranked as the least popular.
