The ultimate one-shot Tank, this juggernaut is an upgrade of the Machine Gun, available at level 30. It has one large cannon which reloads very slowly & fires a powerful bullet with immense recoil. Depending on stat choices, a direct hit from this slow-moving bullet may be all but impossible for opposing players to survive. Thus, there are two common methods of playing this Tank due to its cannon’s sheer power & recoil.

The first strategy involves using the power of the Destroyer’s bullet to flatten enemies out of the game. Upgrading Reload & Bullet Speed is a must, but points in Bullet Damage & Bullet Penetration are advised to keep up with enemy Tanks that have stronger defenses. This strategy can prove effective with all four of the Destroyer’s upgrades: the Annihilator, Hybrid, Rocketeer, & Skimmer, although the last two may benefit from different stat allocations. See the Rocketeer & Skimmer pages for more details.

The second strategy for the Destroyer uses the lone cannon’s massive recoil to rapidly accelerate backward, ramming enemies with a powerful direct impact that only one of the colliding Tanks can survive. Upgrading Reload & Movement Speed, along with Health & Body Damage, makes this Tank a moving wrecking ball. The Hybrid, & Annihilator especially, can benefit greatly from this strategy. See the Hybrid & Annihilator pages for more details.

Though an effective Tank for players of many skill levels, Sniper classes can prove serious enemies to the Destroyer & its upgrades due to their increased field of vision allowing them to deal damage, while having plenty of time to dodge an incoming Destroyer. Additionally, despite the Destroyer’s versatility, it has one inescapable flaw: missing the target. Whether its powerful Bullet doesn’t land, or if it can’t make physical contact for a ram, accuracy is the ultimate challenge that veteran Destroyer players must overcome. The Rocketeer & the Skimmer upgrades can mitigate this weakness somewhat, but ultimately, strategic aiming will always be a must for this class.
