The Splash Guard is a fanon tank made by TheTriplet. It upgrades from the Tank and can further upgrade to the Flank Splash, Shockgun or the Switcher. It can also upgrade to the Splashguider at level 45. It does not have any barrels; instead, it relies on its area-of-effect Splasher to take out enemies.

Appearance[]

The Splash Guard does not have any barrels. Instead, it has a Splasher on top of it. The Splasher is a gray circle, with a C-shaped curve and a circle in the middle of it.

Technical[]

Upon upgrading to the Splash Guard, the tank loses its barrel and instead gets a Splasher on top of it. The Splasher allows the tank to do area-of-effect damage near it. Damage dealt varies by how long the player charged it (stated by the C curve); a full charge takes 1 second without any stats. After the attack, the dot in the middle of the tank flashes between a lighter and a darker blue until the player can attack again. Initially, reloading also takes 1 second.

The Splasher also can destroy all regular bullets (not destroyer bullets, traps or drones) in one hit when attacking in its range.

Upon upgrading, some stats also change names and effect:

  • Bullet SpeedCharge Speed (decreases charge time)
  • Bullet PenetrationSplash Range (increases splash range)
  • Bullet DamageSplash Damage (increases splash damage)

Stat Changes[]

Upon upgrading to the Splash Guard, Splash Damage increases, and Reload halves.

Strategy[]

  • Strong Against: Close-ranged tanks, slow tanks, tanks like the Shotgun and Liner
  • Weak Against: The Sniper, Overseer and Destroyer branches; other very far-ranged tanks

As the Splash Guard[]

  • Slow tanks with really low recoil are vulnerable to the Splash Guard, even worse if it has a lot of Splash Range.
  • Run away from far-ranged tanks, as they outrange you by a lot.
  • Use your Splasher to clear lots of shapes in a line for fast and easy XP.
  • Tanks with fast, concentrated firerate like the Streamliner are easy to counter; even with the least charge, you can clear out all of their bullets.
  • Don't forget it is not possible to clear out Destroyer bullets, traps or drones with the Splasher.
  • If you see two tanks battling and they are on low health, you can kill them both and get a giant XP boost.

Against the Splash Guard[]

  • Use the Sniper, Assassin or the Stalker; even if the Splash Guard has Splash Range maxed, they won't be able to reach you.
  • Use drone classes and keep yourself from a distance. The Splash Guard cannot destroy drones, and will not be able to reach you.
  • A brutal technique for the Splash Guard branch is to use the Predator. Unless they have high Movement Speed, they cannot escape, and again, won't be able to reach the Predator.
  • Overall, don't get too close to the Splash Guard, or it can get hits on you.

Trivia[]

  • In FFA, all Splashes are gray, but in Team gamemodes, the Splashes will be the color of the team.
  • The Splash Guard was originally supposed to not have the "spike" where the player would face when attacking.
  • The Splash Guard also was originally supposed to be called "Splasher", but the weapon also is called that, and it could cause confusion.
