The Elite Skimmer is a Boss in Arras.io. It has 3 Skimmer Auto Turrets that shoot Hyper Missiles. It appears as an orange dot on the map.

In Arms Race modes, it is replaced by the Delta Skimmer, which is a stronger variant of it.

Design[]

Elite Skimmer[]

The Elite Skimmer features an orange triangle with an orange Skimmer Auto Turrets mounted on each side. These Turrets shoot special Missiles, called Hyper Missiles. They have 4 small cannons on the side in back, positioned like a Fighter's back and side cannons.

Its design is very similar to that of the old Elite Sprayer, just orange and has different ammunition.

Delta Skimmer[]

The Delta Skimmer features an orange triangle, much like the Elite Skimmer's. Each of the sides has an orange Skimmer Auto Turret mounted, the Deployer of which has aesthetic lines on it. The Missiles shot from these Turrets has 6 cannons, 2 on the left and right sides and 4 on the back like the Booster's back cannons.

It also features another orange triangle on top, roughly half the size of the main body's. The triangle has a Drone Spawner on each side.

Technical[]

Elite Skimmer[]

Its Skimmer Auto Turrets shoot Hyper Missiles, which are as big as the Destroyer's Bullets and fairly strong.

Delta Skimmer[]

Shoots buffed Hyper Missiles.

Strategy[]

Against the Elite Skimmer[]

  • To kill this boss, it is advisable to use a focused fire tank like the Triplet. Dodge the Hyper Missiles, and keep chipping away at it's health.
  • However, the best tank to kill this boss is probably the Overgunner, as maxing out bullet speed, penetration, damage, and reload will make it so your Drones can block the Hyper Missiles and defend you from other players while your bullets can chip away at its health.
  • Using any tank from the Director class will be unable to penetrate through the spam of the Hyper Missile's bullets. When using a Cruiser class upgrade, the drones cannot even reach the tank, and using any other class, the drones will be too damaged to deal great amounts of damage to the Elite Skimmer.
  • Any spread firing tank will effectively neutralize the Elite Skimmer (while avoiding the missiles), however none of the bullets will be strong enough to penetrate through to the boss itself.
  • Any Sniper class tank can probably take the Elite Skimmer out over time, but the bullets would be weakened and not deal as much damage due to the bullet spam of the Elite Skimmer, making it very inefficient and therefore this method would take a very long amount of time. In fact, other players will probably kill the boss before you can.
