Wow this take took so long from an idea to a page The Chipper is a Tier 4 tank that attacks by using its Chip (buffed drone). It upgrades from Director, and it has no further upgrades. Its special gimmick is that it can only spawn at most 1 drone at once.
Design[]
It looks like a larger Director, but there is a non-shooting barrel on top of it (to distinguish it).
Technical[]
The drone it shoots has 1.4x speed, damage and pentration and even size of a normal overseer drone. There's a catch though. It can only spawn a maximum of 1 drone at once. Yes, 1. Its reload, however, is very good (about 5x of director's).
Strategy[]
- Strengths: Low health tanks, Rammers, tanks with low bullet speed, Destroyer branch.
- Weaknesses: Multiple tanks, Battleship, Necromancer, Trapper branch
As the Chipper[]
- The stratery actually differs from other drone tanks a lot
- You cannot use the "claw" technique anymore.
- You should take your drone to an indirect path to hit the enemy, but not too far away, as the quicker you hit, the faster your drone comes back.
- It can have amazing attack at close range, shredding rammers. Just beware for the damage you take.
- It can also have a good defense if you hold your drone close to you and manuver well, as it respawns fast.
- Due to it only having 1 drone, it can't attack and defend well at the same time, so it's hard to use (although it can do either one very well)
Against the Chipper[]
- Try to get a teammate to assist you. The Chipper cannot take on 2 or more tanks well.
- Do not leave yourself unguarded, as the Chipper can kill you very fast.
- High DPS tanks might not work as well as you think, as the Chipper can defend well enough.
- However, you will force them to keep defending, so you might be able to kill it slowly or find assisstance.
Trivia[]
- My first idea that uses drones
