User:MiniDragonRex/Spider tree: Tarantula

Design
The Tarantula is a fictional tank much the same as the spider, except that the venom sprayer is very small, and the mandibles are very large.

Technical
When you upgrade from the Spider, not much changes except from that the venom sprayer is small and only deals 20 damage, and the mandibles become huge. There are also a few slight stat changes.

Stat wise, pretty much everything goes down, especially any bullet related things. But - Body health and damage go up drastically. Movement speed and health regen go down a bit, but you are now at normal because the spider gains both of these.

The mandibles on the Tarantula are twice as big as those of the spider, and deal twice as much damage, but for still the same knockback.

The venom sprayer becomes small and weak. It is one half of the size of the spider's. It also only deals 20 damage now, but still in the same form of once on contact, then five seconds after, then ten. It deals a total of sixty damage. Each burst of venom has less pellets now, and the recoil is less.

As the Tarantula

 * Strong Against: Distracted tanks, Tanks with low DPS, Slow tanks, Tanks with low FOV, tanks with low ROF.
 * Weak Against: Tanks with high DPS, tanks with high FOV, tanks with high ROF, fast tanks.

Offensive

 * If you are going in, it has to be for the kill. It is not very easy to run away, considering that the Tarantula is not as fast as it's predecessor.
 * You cannot bite quickly, so do not miss with your mandibles.
 * You probably will not use your venom sprayer, but who knows what strategies will evolve?
 * That is... If it existed.

Defensive

 * Do not attack any target you think you cannot kill.
 * Accuracy is very important with this class, so do not miss.
 * Spray the opponent with venom if they overpower you. This helps your getaway.
 * Generally, stay away from:
 * Drones, because they will overwhelm you.
 * High ROF, for the same reason.
 * High FOV, such as the sniper branch, for they will see you coming.

Against the Tarantula

 * Shoot as fast as possible before they get to you!
 * Spammers should release a large barrage so they can't get through
 * Drones should flank them, or hit from behind.
 * Snipers, or anyone, if they are distracted, should hit from behind.

Achievements

 * Its all hairy!
