The Steamroller is one of the Tier 4 upgrade options from Destroyer and Assassin. It has one big gun on the front propped up by a stem, similar to how Trapper's main gun is held by a stem. This gun shoots a high velocity cannonball that has the same size and damage as a Destroyer's bullet and the speed of an Assassin's bullet. The Steamroller has no upgrades as of now. This tank was made by Toriellabella.
Design[]
The Steamroller features a circular body with a rectangle on the front that's the same width as an Assassin's gun. Mounted on top of this rectangle is a second, wider rectangle, that has the same width as a Destroyer's gun. The total length of the setup is in between Destroyer's length and Assassin's length. When firing, only the rectangle on the front moves, just like how only the Trapper's trapezoid moves when it fires.
From Destroyer[]
The Steamroller props the Destroyer's gun on a stem. The overall cannon setup is longer.
From Assassin[]
The Steamroller adds a Destroyer width cannon on top of Assassin's cannon. The overall cannon setup is shorter.
Technical[]
Upon upgrading from Destroyer, Steamroller gains the FOV of an Assassin. Upon upgrading from Assassin, Steamroller gains the bullet stats of a Destroyer. For balancing purposes, reload is lessened and bullet speed is slightly slower than Assassin's. Your recoil from Destroyer is buffed. Everything else is virtually identical to Assassin and Destroyer.
Strategy[]
- Strong Against: Low FOV tanks, slow moving tanks, tanks that are not ready to fight, ramming tanks.
- Weak Against: Overseer branch tanks, Hunter branch tanks, high reload tanks, Mega Trapper.
As The Steamroller[]
- Your main advantages are your advanced field of vision and your immensely fast cannonball like bullet. Use this to your advantage against tanks that are already fighting other tanks.
- If any enemy tries to approach your bullet to find you, you can easily move out of the way and still be out of sight.
- If any enemy rammer is trying to get close to you, you can easily use your bullet to two shot them, or even one shot them in some cases. Always be wary of Fighter and Auto Smasher, however, as they have the advantage to just gun you down while being fast.
- Utilizing your immense recoil opens up ramming opportunities. Always be sure to utilize this to trip up enemies.
- Any slow area denial tanks, such as Octo Tank and Spread Shot can easily be defeated by your fast moving bullet.
Against The Steamroller[]
- Overlord is never a bad idea, ever. Especially here. Just be an Overlord.
- If you are an Overlord-Racist, your next best choice is Predator. You can scope out the enemy fairly easily and fire right at them easily between their sparse shots.
- If you are a Triplet, Streamliner, or Auto Gunner, you can easily overwhelm a Steamroller with your immense bullet output.
- If you are a Mega Trapper, you can make quick work of Steamrollers by making an approach towards them and blocking their bullets with your dense traps.
Trivia[]
- Totally not overpowered whatsoever.
