Astigmatism is a fanmade boss created by KayAyeAre. It is quite big, around ten times that of a Destroyer.
Design[]
Astigmatism has 5 back barrels, which fire quite rapidly with short range. The front barrel has slightly longer range, with lower reload and higher damage.
Technical[]
Stats[]
Astigmatism has 4,500 HP, with a slow heal rate. As the name suggests, Astigmatism has quite a small detection range. It can be compared to a tanky Octo Tank with short cannon range. It also moves quite slowly.
Miscellaneous[]
- Upon destruction, it rewards 45,000 experience, given to the player closest to it. However, any tier I-II tank is only given half as much experience. The other half is given to the closest non-tier I-II tank.
- It does not provoke Base Protectors, however the base itself still damages the boss.
- Despite its short range, Astigmatism can still pack quite a punch. If you wander too close to it, you can almost instantly be killed. This adds a certain risk to discourage players from fighting for the closest spot to it.
- It wanders around the map if there is no target to kill. Otherwise, it will move towards its target and shoot at it using it's front cannon.
- It cannot track drones, or tier I-II tanks.
Strategy[]
- Strong Against: Slow tanks, Rammers such as the Smasher, short-ranged tanks.
- Weak Against: Fast tanks, Sniper class tanks, Tanks with access to Invisibility, Overseer class tanks, tier I-II tanks, possibly Destroyers.
Against Astigmatism[]
- Any sniper class tank, such as the Ranger, can easily hit it from outside the detection range.
- Destroyers can deal the final blow near the boss, while still remaining relatively far from the detection range.
- A fast tank such as the Fighter can dodge its bullets while still being able to shoot at it using its side cannons.
- Any tank with drones can have them ram against Astigmatism, as they are not detected by it.
- A tier I-II tank like the Machine Gun can take out Astigmatism, however this strategy is rather slow. Instead, you should wait for the boss to be killed, while being very close to it. This is an easy way to level up.
Trivia[]
- It is named after Astigmatism, an eye condition that blurs light from all distances. Unlike the condition however, it can see from a short distance.
- It has an abnormal way of granting experience, such that it grants experience to the closest player to it.
- As it spawns to a random side of the map, two random teams will have a slight advantage when getting to the boss.
- The reason that Astigmatism does not detect drones or Tier I-II tanks is because they are too small.
