User:Banarama/Non-Traditional Play Styles

Note: I did not create anything in this page — I am only hosting it.

Dancer: Dancer Class. Only earn enough points to level up Speed to your liking. Dodge and weave around without firing at anything. Head towards the center to get the Crashers to follow you, resulting in a beautiful trail. The Machine Gun can be used to make bullet designs.

Drone: Drone Class. Drones are contractually obligated to Team with any version of an Overseer. A Drone may not attack an Overseer, unless they have already teamed with one, and their Teamed Overseer is in danger. The Survival of the Overseer is the greatest importance to a Drone. Putting yourself between your Overseer and danger is your goal. High shot penetration, health, and speed is advised. You can circle your Overseer if you are able, firing directly away from them.

If the Overseer you have tried to team with refuses you, simply leave and try to find another.

Sumo: Sumo class. Put all points towards health, speed, and body damage. No firing. Just giving friendly, deadly hugs!

Troller: Team with a dancer type and protect them, then when the dancer is level 45 kill them! (Note From Zathus To Creator of this Idea: Dancers can't level up. According to that section, they don't shoot)(Note from ThatMew to Zathus: Ramming. ).

Text Message: Go to Team DM, and copy the party code. Name yourself part of a message you want to send. Let's say the message is 'Subscribe to Adasba's YouTube channel'. Name yourself 'Subscribe to', and stay in the spawn. Name another player 'Adasba's', and join the same server with the party code. Move so that you are close to the other tank, so it looks like it says 'Subscribe to Adasba's'. Repeat with 'Youtube', and 'Channel'. Replace the words or the amount of tanks with whatever you want. You may want an extra player to view the message easily. Look at the example down below that says "Don't vote Trump". The trolling possibilities are endless ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Pacifism! "So, I got an idea. Every player that sees this can join the clan called "Pacifism". It will be a [PM] in the start of a username. Each player with no exception will: Build ONLY body damage, health regen, max health and movement speed, but will not be ramming into anything except squares, triangles, and other "food". Will not shoot bullets (accidents don't count as shooting) Will always be ready to make other players "pacifists", or just make other players not shoot. If sees anyone fighting, try to stop it any way you want without killing. The pacifist can't choose overseer, overlord, or any tank whose "minions" will be fighting automatically, including Hybrid or Overtrapper (Necromancer is allowed as long as you don't hit any squares). So... Let's do the Pacifist mode on this game! :D". IDEA; Bullet Penetration can stop a bullet attack, however you may accidentally hurt someone.

Noob: Go to the leader on FFA as a level 1 tank, then suicide into him. Repeat a few times, then when they get used to you ramming into them, destroy some polygons then max out body damage and max health and then ram. They might not die but will definitely get a shock from it and if they're a smasher, then they might get surprised. CAUTION NOOB ALERT.

Trolling
Trolling is fun. That's why we do it.

By: Built4Battle (I give credit to iXPLODE for some of the ideas and pictures)

1: "NINJA"- get stalker with max bullet speed, penetration, damage, and reload. Then hide somewhere (close to a corner for best results), and be a complete jerk but still feel good about it.

2: "THE WALL"- get overtrapper with max bullet speed, damage, penetration and reload. Then go the corner (any one) of the map, and face your trapper barrel into the corner. Put on auto fire, then do nothing. Let the picture explain the rest. NOTE: Since traps didn't bounce off the wall anymore, this method should not work.



3: "LANDMINE"- July 31, 2016. Landmines are added to Diep.io... trolling, will never be the same...... in a good way:)

4: "PUSHING-OFFLINE-TEAMMATES-OUT-OF-SPAWNING-AREAS"- 'Nuff said.

5: "OFFLINE"- Note: only works against weak tanks. Pretend to be offline (let the opponent land a few shots on you), and then... yeah. Payback.

6: "YOU ASKED FOR IT"- Get a tank that would usually not have body damage (such as Octo tank or Manager). When you see a body damage tank (Booster, Smasher, stuff like that), run away from it. If it chases you, keep running until you can practically smell what it had for breakfast, then come to an acute stop. (Unless you know you can not beat it. Then you keep running and praying)

7: "NO MORE SUNCHIPS"- Find a poor Necromancer that ate all its Sunchips (by ate, I mean used up), and KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL.

By: ?

8:"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN"- Go to your server's leader (considering if you are playing FFA or Maze), get the Tri-Angle.

Get your Health Regen,Max Health,Reload and Movement Speed Max (For maximum speed and health) and just Spin around them UNTIL THEY GET FREAKIN MAD. Trolololol.

9. By: Miss Lovey Dove- Go right outside your spawn area (considering if you are playing Team Deathmatch), get a level 45 flank guard

Get your bullet damage, body damage, movement speed (to catch up to the players to use your body damage) max health (so you won't die from their body damage) and wait for someone to try to kill you. Then turn in to a Octo tank and kill them with your bullets and catch up to them with your movement speed and use your body damage.

10.Pushing teammates into Alpha Pentagons while they're killing it: TROLLMANIA!

By Apentashot1274

11. "Fast and Furious"

Team up with 2 - 3 triangles or boosters, and upgrade yourself to a triplet. Position both of the boosters / tri-angles so that they would push you, but would not let you slip. Attack the enemy team; you would attack while the triangles/ boosters would push you forward. Perfect troll.

By Akkaviv

12. "Simple Troll"

Die as a level 45 tank, and respawn. You should be a level 22 tank. Do not move, but just silently upgrade body damage, max health, and health regen. Wait until a tank notices you and tries to shoot you. They won't be able to, as you have a shield (as long as you don't move). Soon, they will go near you, or ram into you. Both ways, move toward them, and use your body damage to kill them.

Note: This only works occasionally, and only if the enemy tank is impatient.

13. "Plain Rudeness"

Name yourself "haha you died" or something taunting, and shoot low level tanks from far distance. After each kill, spin like crazy so they can see you after they died "making fun of" them.

14."Leave me alone!!!"

Keep following a low level tank.When they try to kill a polygon,almost kill them leaving them with few hitpoints.Keep doing this until they stop trying to kill polygons.Circle around them slowly then suddenly ram into them.

By GeoDash!

15. "Spin-to-team"

Make your name Spin=Team or something like that. Then, upgrade to Triple Twin or Octo tank. The build should be 2/2/0/7/7/7/7/1. Spin to attract people to join you, but do not turn on Auto-Fire. Then, when you are teamed with someone, turn on auto fire and kill them >:)

16. "AI team"

Do the same as above, but upgrade to Overtrapper or Hybrid. The drones don't know if a tank is teamed with you in FFA, so use them to kill them >:) (darn this is the same as drone in the above section.

17. "Troll names"

Make your name "A friend" or "Yourself" so when you kill someone the death screen says "You were killed by a friend" or "You were killed by yourself" and the kill notifications say "You killed a friend" or "You killed yourself"

18. Spawn-kill

There is not more i can say, you wait till a tank spawn, and kill it. The End

By the hardwerkingengineer

19. Manager ramming

max out health stats and body damage, along with bullet speed and penetration. Become a manager and hide in a lonely area. When a tank comes, use your drones to lure them into your invisible body. Most people use bullet damage focused builds, so it will be an easy kill(inspiration from manager page ;) also idea 6)

To: Whoever added the "Why can't this be a blog post" and "BLOG POST NOW" ncie to know the comments I make doesn't matter -_- like seriously LOOOK BELOW, SEE THE SECODN TO TOP COMMENT AND SEE THE REPLYS!

20. Nope

Max out HP and Body Damage when you respawn, and just lie there when your shield is still in operation. Wait for someone to try kill you. 'Nuff said.

Note: Doesn't always work, if there is no opponent or your faced with a level 45 tank, RUN.

21. Team trolling

Get into a team with one or more other players and then troll other people with your team mates. Works best in gamemodes that actually use teams like Team Domination. Recommended to plan this out with people you know well so that you all know what to do

By Psychomaniac14

22. ">:D"

Stay as a Basic Tank. Do the build that you have in mind, just stay as a Tank. Go around and kill people. When you're in danger, suddenly upgrade to the Tank you want to be and kill people.

By Hinote

23. gettttttt dunked on!!!

Make a body damage manager build, except also upgrade penetration and bullet speed. Hide somewhere, then use your drones to chase tanks to where you are hiding, then ram into them for the kill.

By Dieper.io

24. Spin-to-team V2

Do the same as above, but instead, upgrade to a ram Booster. Your victim will probably trust you, as Ram Boosters are the most common type of FFA teamers. Keep spinning, and slowly get nearer of your victim. And when you're close enough to him, KA-BOOM.

By Jimmy

25. AFK Trolling

In TD (Team Deathmatch), find an AFK player that's on your team. Your victim will probably be in the safe zone. Now just push him up to someone on the opposite team and run. It's best to have lots of movement speed when attempting this. What should happen now is that your victim will die and when they unAFK they will be confused and rage if they were high leveled.

By Swagscope123

26. A-maze-ing Spare

In Maze, find and corner a weak tank. Then act like you spare the tank. After a the tank has got more EXP or has upgraded into a better tank, kill the same tank before it has the chance to reproduce.

By Cress DP6

27. U Mad Bro?

Pick a tank type that is usually Body Damage(like Booster) but then do a Glass Cannon build. Now, act like a rammer, but instead of actually ramming, you go close to the victim and then shoot them down.

By Necro

28. Crasher Spawner

Play at tag mode/4 teams, use the nick "Crasher Spawner", join the purple team, pick a battleship, max reload and half b speed, pen and damage, spend the remains for move speed, stay in the middle a.k.a the pentagon nest. Simple, no?

By SilentCommenter

29. Slither

Choose An Streamliner With Max Reload, Damage and everything expect for Max HP, Regen and body Damage. Play 4 teams to kill other tanks.

By Earth333

30. 'Out-of-Base' Base Protectors

Join in a 2 Teams or 4 Teams server but leave blank on your nickname. Level up and upgrade to a glass cannon-build Manager and go to the center of your base. When you got all your drones ready, repel them out of your base. Although you may not likely kill an enemy tank, if your drones caught and killed some weaklings, their death screen will show the location of the one (probably you) who killed them, and they may wonder how could the "base protectors" reached that far and killed them (since Base Protectors are currently "unnamed tanks" ingame, and doing this trick would show "an unnamed tank" killed them). Just try to not move by yourself anytime, or they will know who killed them.

By: GellyPop

31. "Denied!"

If your health is low and you were sill being under pursuit by enemy tanks, try to find a pretty strong polygon (such as pentagon or alpha pentagon) or, if there's currently one, a boss tank. Let either those two kill you before the enemy tanks do. If you succeed, your enemies won't receive score (and XP) from you, as they didn't deal the killing blow to you, but the polygon/boss does it (and their effort to damage and kill you is a waste...).

By: GellyPop

32. "suprise motherf*ka"

this troll is a mix between the taunt name and the landmine.

name yourself "suprise motherf*ka" and upgrade to landmine, then max out movement speed, body dammage and max health (put the remaining points in regen) and then go invis somewhere random (dont go near the pentagon nest as there will be octo tanks there) now wait untill someone gets realy close and try ramming into them, even if you dont kill them you will make them pee theirselves, trololololololo

by caspervene

33. "The Eternal Stall"

go into tag mode and upgrade to any invisible tank, now go invis in the corner and wait untill one team has all the tanks exept you, it will take a long time to either find you or to be killed by random chanse, TROLLOLOLOLLOLO

Note: Experienced players may start looking in the corners once they notice they cant find the last enemy tank

By Caspervene

34. Overly TRAPPED.

Play as an Overtrapper in maze mode. Then, when someone gets into a dead end, surround them with traps. They are stuck there for eternity, until they get close enough for your drones to kill them. RIP.

By Dieper

35. Yeah. TOOOOOTALY a glass cannon. Not a rammer or anything.

When your a rammer try to name yourself glass tank or low health

By:Underslime

36. Not what you expected, eh?

Play as a 0/3/3/0/7/7/7/6 Booster. Since you have no bullet speed, people will think you're a rammer, but instead the bullets will mainly kill your victims, but for the few that don't get killed, you can ram them to finish them off.

By Dieper

37. A good offence is a nice defence By TrueKyubi Using the Annihilator tank. use the knockback to run from foes. but try shooting them too. Try not to get cornered on the maze mode unless you have good Health stats and movement speed and Body damage. You can ram into them with an 5/5/3/0/5/4/8/5 Annihilator tank.

38. The Surprise Rammer

Upgrade to a high reload AND recoil class (NOT the Triplet - something like the Sprayer) and max out Max Health, Body Damage, Reload, Bullet Penetration and 5 in Bullet Damage. Get close to someone, shoot at them and when they least expect it, surprise ram them.

By Hinote

39. Underrated

Use a Overtrapper with a good amount of points in bullet speed. Trap enemies from afar.

By Kirnemiscrits

40. Idiots

Name yourself Idiot List and be top one on the leaderboard while other ones on the lower section can be listed on the idiot list.

By underslime

41."I'll find your match, follow me."

Use a rammer class, more preferably Booster, with rammer build (but don't ram enemies). Try getting attention from your enemy and let them follow you. Now, move on other area until you find another one who seems to have the stats of the first one you got its attention, and let them fight each other. As they fight, you may spin yourself as you are laughing while seeing one of them dying from their own clutches. This works best in Maze (as walls serve as "the ring of the fighting stage").

By: GellyPop

42.I LIED

Name yorself CTRL+W Hack so if they do it they will just quit the game TROLOLOLOLOL

By:Underslime

43. Threatening Bullets

Use either Ranger or Predator, max out all bullet stats. Try finding a low-level tank. When you found one, shoot them, but don't make all your bullets hit it (hit it at least once). Do this continuously until it try moving towards you (or retreats), then shoot them with accuracy (or leave if you got fast movement). Works best in team game modes.

By: GellyPop

44. THE SUPER NOOB

Name yourself "noob" or anything in small. Do not upgrade even at level 45. Use this build (5/5/0/2/7/7/7/0) to become the SUPER NOOB! But do not be a real noob, you just should... Find the leader, shoot the leader super bullet waves, repeat until he dies. Then you're the leader!! Also make everyone think you're a noob or they would kill you.

NOTE: NEVER fight Destroyer-Branch tanks.
