This page is finally done! Sorry for taking so long. I guess also this is kinda a mini-branch lol The Pulse is a Tier 3 tank that attacks by using its pulse of bullets, as its name applies. It upgrades from Burst, and it will upgrade to Pulsar, Dual Pulse, Lazer Pulse and Charger. It fires 3 bullets per pulse, each having different speeds.
Design[]
Same as the Burst, its design is similar to the Minigun. However, there is now a non-shooting wide rectangle barrel on top of the 3 barrels (to distinguish it from the Minigun).
Technical[]
The bullets are slightly weaker than Burst. It completely removes the "charging" aspect of the Burst, instead it has a long reload (not as long as destroyer branches though). As mentioned before, the 3 bullets in a pulse all have different speeds, with the longest barrel shooting the fastest bullet, which has a decently high speed.
Strategy[]
- Strengths: Low-health tanks, tanks with low direct DPS or bullet speed. Trapper branch, lower-skilled players
- Weaknesses: Bullet spammers, Tri-angle branch, Swarm tanks, 2v1s
As the Pulse[]
- In close-mid ranges, all 3 of your bullets can hit, which may one-shot some glass tank, but there's a chance all your bullets will miss.
- In mid-long ranges, only 1 or 2 bullets will hit (although the fastest bullet can travel very far), not dealing very much damage, but it's still very possible to kill other players.
- Therefore, the optimal range for this tank is mid-range, where all 3 bullets can hit and you will less likely miss.
- Generally, you want to use this like a Sniper, but with less FoV and more bullets.
- It can be fine as a bullet spammer of some sort, as it can shoot 3 bullets per pulse with varying speeds, which may confuse the opponent.
- If you notice someone trying to flank you, shoot at them as soon as you see them in case other tanks come, as this tank is not very good at 2v1.
Against the Pulse[]
- Do not underestimate its bullets, even if only 1 hits you, it still deals some decent damage.
- Try to not get confused by the different speed of the bullets, especially when more than one pulse is overlapping.
- The slower bullets from a pulse can also be a threat, as they stay on the screen longer than you thought.
- Rammers beware, as the Pulse can deal massive damage in close-mid ranges.
- Aim for the back of the tank to kill is easily. (Works best for drone and swarm tanks)
Trivia[]
- Typical Total Dfense to again, just use bullets in another way for weapons.
- Spent like 5 days, to create this from start to finished. (I was lazy in between lol)
