Fanon:Guardian

Guardian is a Game Mode in. It is a variation of 4 Teams in which there are four gigantic Tanks, one for each team, that represent their team and allow them to respawn.

Technical
In this Game Mode, there are four teams. Each one has their Base in a corner, like usual. The Pentagon Nest remains colored and unchanged. The Game Mode also has regular EXP gain. Bosses can spawn as usual in this Game Mode.

The first player to spawn is assigned to Blue. The second is Red. The third is Green. The fourth is Purple. The fifth is Blue, and so forth. The first four players also get to choose from a variety of eight Team Guardians, gigantic Tanks which could be Bosses in their own right.

Team Guardians are important in this Game Mode, because they allow Tanks to spawn. Without your Team Guardian, you cannot respawn. If you are the Team Guardian and you get killed, you will respawn as a regular Level 45 Tank.

Whenever a team's Team Guardian is killed, a Notification will be sent out to every player that "{Team}'s Guardian has expired!". If a team runs out of members, another Notification will be sent out to every player that "{Team} has left!"

The Scoreboard is changed to have two bars per team, for a total of eight bars. The first bar displays how many Tanks on that team are alive. This does not change until the team's Team Guardian is killed. The second bar displays regular Tank information (name, class etc.), but for the Team Guardian instead, and their score is replaced with their remaining health. Each team can hold a maximum of either twenty-five players or twenty-four players and one Team Guardian.

The aim of the mode is to be the last team alive. In order to do this, each team is aiming to destroy the other three teams' Team Guardians to be able to finally eliminate their members. Team Guardians cannot enter the Base for this reason, and your team's Base is only present so long as your Team Guardian is still alive. Once it dies, the base disappears.

If a player leaves the game midway through the match, they will be replaced by another player so long as their team's Team Guardian is still alive. If not, no replacement will occur.

The game ends as soon as only one team still has members. The winning team's Team Guardian does not need to still be alive. If all members from every team somehow manage to all be dead by the end of the match, it is declared a tie. In any case, the Arena will close at the end of the match. If you are killed before the end of the game but after your Team Guardian is killed, you will be kicked out of the server much like in Survival.

At the end of the match, a Notification is sent out alerting players still in the game that "All other teams have expired. {Team} has won the game!" followed by the Arena's closure.
