Diep.io Comparisons Series Info
This series is about comparing two or more things found in canon Diep.io (a fanon edition might appear, who knows?). They are often having similarities that would leave a debate on which is better between/among.

How This Started
Originally, a thread which covers the first part of this series (check the Auto Trapper vs. Gunner Trapper part) was posted on the Franken Forums. However, it didn't get much attention, plus Franken Forums are now removed from this wiki, as per a petition. Shown to be a good thread, its content was transferred into the series' first blog, keeping it without having problems.

Penta Shot vs. Spread Shot
Penta Shot and Spread Shot, two tanks of wide area-denial choice on front, are both successor of Triple Shot. These abilities makes them popular among those who wants a real dogfight in the game. However, which is better?

Penta Shot
"'It acquired the valor of fighting five enemies at once, until someone makes some disturbance that forced it to go home and learn more.' ~ GellyPop"

The Penta Shot got five regular cannons slightly spread apart from each other. Its firing system is simple: the center and side-most cannons first, then the two in-between cannons. It got a bit noticeable recoil, too.

Spread Shot
"'If you think the more you got means the more chances of winning, then it's only probability. At least, Spread Shot is proud of its origin.' ~ GellyPop"

The Spread Shot, at the other side, has overwhelmingly ELEVEN cannons that no other tanks had (at least in canon diep). Only the center is still regular, and the added ones (as well as the two side-most cannons previously from Triple Shot) are smaller and deals lesser damage. It fires sequentially: from the center down to the side-most cannons, and repeat.

Criteria for Comparing
Now, to compare the two tanks, use the following criteria: Just comment in to cast your vote, there will be no deadline for this one. You may also simply vote on the Polls Tab if you just want simple voting. What are you waiting for, let your opinions out, now!

 * Strategy Friendliness (on how different strategies including builds could work with the tank)
 * Survivability (how the tank can survive in different situations)
 * Boss Countering (effectiveness when fighting Bosses)
