Skirimisher and Predecesors

Skirmisher and its predecessors.

The Skirmisher is a Tier 5 Tank that evolves from the Hunter and the Stalker at Level 60. It's a mix of his two predecessors.

Design[]

It features a similar barrel to the Stalker with the difference of having a rectangle at the top, likely to the Hunter or Predator. Its barrel is as long as the Stalker but larger than the Predator.

Technical[]

The Skirimisher counts with 2 abilities, both of them from his predecessors; the invisibility, form the Stalker, and the camera moving from the Predator, which gives it a great advantage at sniping. Also it shoots 2 bullets at the same time, one small and a normal one. However, almost every stadistic is reduced, as: Max Health, Health Regen, Movement Speed, Body Damage (This makes you choose safe places to hide, as you can get killed by 3 triangles without Max Health) and Rate of Fire. You can lose your Invisibility by shooting more than 2 times.

Strategies[]

  • Strong Against: Slow Tanks, Unnoticed Tanks, Tanks with low ROF, Drone Controller Tanks and Automatic (Auto-Aim) Gun Tanks.
  • Weak Against: High ROF Tanks, Rammers (Smasher and Tri-Angle Branches).

Surprise is your strongest weapon, you can spot a place, ex. Pentagon Nest, and run away from the site to a safe position, (note you can die even from static triangles, so choose a good place to snipe), then wait for a slow, weak, or confident low level tank, and shoot. The bullet speed and Damage should be great for a sure death, however you can shoot only 2 times before being visible again. Try to predict where it's going to move, as your 2nd shoot is the last before you move from position.

Try to avoid the high ROF Tanks, even when you are hidden, they can hurt you if they are in a near combat or just spamming bullets. If you watch a rammer near you (specially tri-angle class), pray for avoiding any bullet.

Trivia[]

  • It merges two rare abilities, invisibility and camera moving.
  • If it is added to the game, 100% it would be used by campers without strategy :´(
