The Seeker is one of the Tier 4 upgrade options from Triple Shot and Assassin. It features three Cannons mounted upon the front of the tank along with a larger field of vision. A "seeking orb" is mounted upon the front that allows the user to see invisible tanks on a right click. The Seeker has no upgrades as of now. This tank was made by Toriellabella.
Design[]
The Seeker features a circular body as a base. It features a gun mounted upon the front that is longer than average, matching the length of Assassin's main cannon. On the sides of this gun are two more guns, each one slightly shorter than the front facing one, having Sniper's cannon length. These two extra guns are angled 22.5 degrees apart, similar to Penta Shot's front three cannons. The reason for this is so that it doesn't look underwhelming, as Seeker with Triple Shot's design would look very stupid. Mounted under the front gun is a small black circle.
From Triple Shot[]
The cannons are lengthened and pushed towards the center, a combination of Tank upgrading into Sniper and Triple Shot upgrading into Penta Shot. A small black circle is anchored under the front gun.
From Assassin[]
Two extra Sniper length cannons are placed under the main gun, splayed apart in a 22.5 degree angle. A small black circle is anchored under the front gun.
Technical[]
The Seeker has a larger field of vision than most tanks, matching Assassin's field of vision. Each of the three guns mounted upon the front has the same strength as one singular Penta Shot barrel. Each of the three barrels will shoot at the same time if the fire button is held, just like how the reworked Penta Shot and Spread Shot function. To compensate for the lessened amount of barrels, bullet damage is increased overall.
When right click is held, a cone of light that extends to the far end of your screen appears in front of the tank, mounted on the small black orb which is anchored to the front gun. This cone of light doesn't do anything offensively or defensively. In most cases, it is purely just for decoration. However, if this cone of light happens to intersect the path of an invisible tank, it will reveal the tank to every single player. This does not reset the enemy's invisibility timer, however; If the light is taken off of them, the enemy will still be invisible.
Strategy[]
- Strong Against: Stalker, Manager, Landmine (if approached properly), Gunner branch tanks, Auto 3 branch tanks, drone users
- Weak Against: Rammers, Fast tanks, groups of tanks, Destroyer branch tanks, Predator
As The Seeker[]
- It's preferable to play as the Seeker in team modes, so that you're not alone in case you do find an invisible tank. You do have offensive capabilities, but they aren't as strong as Annihilator's or Overlord's capacity to fight. You essentially play as a support class role, similar to the Trapper branch. Your allies are your best friends.
- Due to the fact that you essentially have three Assassin barrels stapled onto you, you can easily dispense of tanks like Auto Gunner, Auto 5, and Streamliner. Your excessive bullet speed will help you immensely.
- Due to the fact you can snipe from far away, you can easily snipe far away Overlords. Just pray they don't notice you, because they can and will kill you if they get too close.
- Area denial tanks, such as Octo Tank and Triple Twin are easy to deal with due to your bullet's speed. Just be sure to aim accurately.
Against The Seeker[]
- A good Spike or Booster player can easily overwhelm a Seeker due to a combination of speed and bodily damage. Due to Seeker's lessened reload and specified ability, it's very likely that they will not be able to do anything to you once you get close.
- Fighter can easily overwhelm any Seeker, especially if said Fighter has a dragon build. They can strafe and land hit after hit, being as relentless as ever.
- If you are a drone tank and feel as if a Seeker is nearby, approach them as quickly as possible before they take you out. Their field of vision is only slightly bigger than yours, so if you can catch them before they catch you, you can defeat them easily.
- If you are a Destroyer branch tank, the above advice also applies to you. The good thing is that you can approach them much faster as a Hybrid or Annihilator due to your recoil. Skimmer will have a harder time catching up, but your specialized bullet will help clear the field and hopefully scare the enemy away.
- If you are a Predator, be sure to utilize your zooming ability as MUCH as possible. Keep an eye on the Seeker just in case they're about to target you. Aim and fire, make sure your shots land before they come and attack you.
Trivia[]
- This tank was most likely the very first tank on this very wiki to have the capacity to see invisible tanks.
- Out of all of my early pages from December 2016, this one had the most information on it when first created.
