User blog:Underslime/Class Specific And Gamemode Specific Strategies

This blog post serves as a guide for specific tanks in the game, as well as some strategies for all gamemodes except sandbox.

Triplet:
The triplet has its barrels aligned in a streamlined position, giving it the advantage of having focused fire. Your focused fire is a vital component of both your defense and your offense; You can either use it as a shield/wall (given that your bullet speed is at minimum) to stop and protect you from stray bullets and drones, or you can max out bullet speed to quickly damage enemy tanks and farm polygons.

Killing enemy tanks using the triplet requires skill, since your high reload rate will also give you recoil, which will give you a hard time to continously battle an enemy. It is recommended to fire at the enemy, use your recoil to catch up (if they try to escape) and fire at them again. Repeat this process until the enemy dies. However, this strategy is dangerous to use, since if the tank you are fighting is trying to escape, chances are they will use their recoil to get away and will probably aim their barrel and shoot at you, slowing you down and forcing you to stop chasing.

The triplet is an effective polygon farmer, since its high bullet stats and reload can easily wipe out polygons, and if all bullet stats are maxed out, can also destroy alpha pentagons with ease.

Triplet Tips:

 * Use your recoil to quickly move around the map and escape
 * As much as possible, always try to aim at the enemy while dodging their bullets.
 * Target tanks with spreading fire, such as the penta shot
 * Always watch your back, since the triplet has no back defense.
 * Avoid crowded areas since the triplet can only block one or two bullet streams at a time.

Overlord
The overlord is basically an overseer with twice the reload speed. Because of the increased reload rate, Overlord users can easily fight other tanks since they can easily recover their lost drones.

Overlords are great polygon farmers if drone stats are maxed out. Players can also spread their drones to farm polygons that are scattered in the map, as well as activate auto-fire to make the drones follow your mouse pointer.

The Overlord is an excellent tank in 1v1s, the drones can be used as as a shield, it can be used to flank enemy tanks, and can be used to shield teammates. If an Overlord is to encounter a a lone player, the best thing to do is maneuver your drones at the back of the tanks, since this area is the most prone to damage. Fighting against high RoF tanks is not a  good choice unless you are skilled enough, since their bullets will easily wipe out your drones. If a high RoF tank has focused fire (Triplet, for example) then, as stated above, manuever your drones at the back for maximum damage. If they have spread fire (Penta shot, for example) then the best thing to do is to find a way past the bullet stream until your drones can damage the tank.

Your drones can also be used as a defensive shield, you can hover your drones behind or in front of you to block incoming projectiles.

Overlord Tips

 * Always keep your drones close to you.
 * Try to hit enemis from behind.
 * Use your drones as a shield while roaming.
 * Use auto-fire while fighting, deactivate while farming.
 * Upgrade drone speed to easily chase enemies.
