User:Type: Sparky/Slasher (Polygon)

For the other things named Slasher, see Slasher (disambiguation). Slashers are hostile Polygons that chase the player once they are in their detection range. They spawn close to the Pentagon Nest in the center of the map to protect the area and are emitted from the Protector. Slashers spawn in many different varieties of sizes and strengths. They behave similarly to the Overseer’s Drones and Base Guards but instead serve only to guard the Pentagon Nest and the Protector when it is around. They are called this because they attack by using their slash attack on things.

Strategy
Slashers are extremely dangerous polygons. When slashing, they do extra damage, enter a Boost Mode and resist damage. ~10 of these can kill a non-glass Tier 4 tank. The Protector can also slash. Slashers will not detect cloaked tanks unless they have just been cloaked.

Variations

 * Large Slasher: It has 25 HP and does more damage than a Slasher. It moves and slashes slower, however.


 * Slasher: It has 10 HP. It does less damage than a Large Slasher but still is a threat. It also moves faster.


 * Protector: The largest and rarest variety with the health of 2500. It may spawn anywhere and will follow a predetermined path (unless it decides to slash a player). It has Mini Slashers to defend itself. It grants 30,000 EXP to whoever destroys it.


 * Mini Slasher: They have 5 HP. They are the fastest moving type and also the smallest. They are spawned by the Protector.
 * Green variants of Slashers also exist.
