Tank

Template:Tank The Tank is the first variation that the player will have once they start a game. It possesses one barrel which shoots one bullet at a time in a straight path, with slight recoil. At Level 15, four upgrade choices will be given to the player: Twin, Sniper, Machine Gun and Flank Guard. At Level 30, the choice for the Smasher upgrade will be available. Level 30 and 45 will once again prompt the player with options of other "sub-categories" of tanks. For information on these other tanks, see here.

The basic tank features a simple blue circle with one grey barrel mounted in the front.

Beginning Strategies

• Upon starting the game, try to find and kill any Blue Pentagons near your spawn area, as they award the most points for leveling up. If there are none nearby, try destroying Yellow Squares or Red Triangles instead. Once you have enough points to upgrade a stat, increase your regen at least once. Without it, you won't be able to regain your health after taking a hit. Though your strategy may differ from others, it is always a good idea to upgrade at least some of your max health and regen.
• While playing Team Deathmatch, stay near to the spawn area and take out the polygons nearby when you're at a lower level. If the enemy players take up most of the leaderboard or they are spawn-camping your team, consider going to a different area of the spawn camp, or they can most likely kill you if you don't have many upgrades in health.

Strategies

• "Arena Closer" Strategy: Stay as a basic tank until level 45. Use the following stats: 7/5/0/7/0/7/7/0 or 1/7/2/7/2/7/7/0 to raise your score and have some fun with your build similar to an Arena Closer before the July 11th update and your misleading appearance leads to tanks thinking you're weaker than you are.
• "Bullet Tank" Strategy: This build focuses on movement speed that is similar to a Tri-Angle's, and is perfect for mastering fast tanks, escaping battles, and countering a Tri-Angle's onslaught. Use the following stats, along with whatever others you like: 2/2/0/0/0/0/0/7 and watch your tank fly!
• Surprise Strategy: This build is simple, and focuses more on skill than anything else. Say you want the Penta Shot but hate the Triple Shot. You can either use this on the basic tank (more surprise) or the Twin. Or maybe you don't care for the Sniper or Hunter, but you want to try out the Predator. All you do is upgrade the right stats for the lvl 30 or 45 upgrade you want, and carry out as a basic tank. When you're at the right level, you can either upgrade right away or wait until someone is close by, eyeing you. Then, quickly press the upgrade buttons and surprise them with your sudden upgrades.

Trivia

• Many believe that the polygons give more points when you are a basic tank. However, this is not true. Polygons will always give the same amount of points, no matter the variation. But each level requires more points, which makes it appear that when a player is using a Tank there are more points rewarded, but this is only because less points are required at lower levels to upgrade.
