The tank that stayed tiny.

Tiny Boy is an NPC in Tale of Arras.

Description

Something Tiny Boy would definitely do, and he does!

Tiny Boy is a basic tank the size of a level 15 tank with baby eyes. He can be found circling around the middle of the Tank Empire.

Talking

When you shoot next to Tiny Boy, a Terraria-like dialog box shows up, your controls are disabled and he says a random quote. Then you will have three dialog options:

• Back: Gives back control over your tank as if nothing happened.
• Trade: Opens up a trade menu that works like Minecraft's, with all of the items varying in usefulness, but not completely useless.
• Talk: He brings up a random topic just for fun.

Rare occurences

Rarely he gets bored and asks you to let him follow you or have a freindly spar.

Follow

Tiny Boy will follow you throughout the entire map untill you go back to the Tank Empire. If you go into an area he is underleveled for, he will stay on the border of it until you get out of it. Tiny Boy has 150 HP by default, and if he dies, he respawns at where he was in his walk cycle when he asked to follow you. He will try shooting at any enemy nearby. His stats are not upgraded and his FoV is the same as a Sniper's.

If he levels up, his stat priority is:

1. Bullet Damage
2. Bullet Penetration
3. Bullet Speed
4. Movement Speed
5. Reload
6. Bullet Health
7. Body Damage
8. Max Health
9. Sheild Capacity
10. Sheild Regen

And he will randomly choose these upgrade paths (but won't increase size):

• Sniper, Assassin, Falcon
• Pounder, (skip), Eagle
• Director, Overseer, Overlord

If he dies, his build and tank will be reset.

Spar

Tiny Boy beelines towards the Arena and waits for you to get there. Once you do, you will be in a 1v1 with him. He will randomly choose one of these strategies:

• Hit and run as Tri-Angle
• Snipe you with Asassin
• Get up close and personal to one-shot as Destroyer
• Use crazy repel tech as Overseer.

If you win, you get (UNDEFINED) Arena Points and his trades will be 10% off for the rest of the day for that player.

Trivia

• Tiny Boy can be found chilling out at the top left in Maze mode in normal Arras.io, being his goofy self in Bonk.io and ganging up with Sassafras in Tankster.io.
• His repel strats in 1v1s are in honor of Deception, a small Diep.io Youtuber.
  • Infact, his design is inspired by Deception's art style too.
• Tiny Boy has 12 Sassafras related quotes. Holy crap.
