Description

Tank, previously known as the Tank 1, is a large and tanky boss that appears in Legacy Fallen mode and Golden mode. The Tank is a fast, high health enemy, with speeds similar to the Quick and much higher health than the Giant Boss. It can be a major threat to unprepared defenses.

Strategy

• Fast firing towers, such as the Minigunner, Accelerator or Turret, are recommended to kill Tanks.
  • The Commander can boost their firerate with its Call to Arms ability.
• Because of the Tank's fast speed, long range towers, such as the Ranger, are recommended, as the Tank will take more time to get out of their range.
  • The DJ Booth can also help increase range of towers that have shorter range, such as the Accelerator or the Minigunner.
  • It is recommended to use the Commander's Call to Arms ability to boost the Ranger's firerate.
• You can use slowing towers, like the Electroshocker, Warden, Brawler or Sledger to slow down the Tank.
  • Slowing it down is generally favored, due to the Tank's obscene speed.
  • Be aware that, due to the Tank's large size, the Warden and freezing towers can only slow the Tank down for a shorter period of time compared to an average-sized enemy.

Trivia

• The Tank originally had an ability called Rock Throw where it would throw boulders at towers. This would stun them for a period of time.
  • This ability was based on the Left 4 Dead zombie, the Tank.
  • When the Tank was first added, the Rock Throw could vary in velocity. It could go far, or it could crumble right upon the first tower it hit.
    • The bits of rock that the boulder split into also had irregular hitboxes.
  • The boulders could be blocked by a player's torso.
• The first two versions of the Tank had arms taken from the Superhero package in the Roblox catalog.
  • The first two versions of the Tank resembled the Tank from R2D and are likely a reference to said game.
• Unlike its counterpart, the Speedy Boss, the Tank cannot be spawned from the Mystery Boss.
  • This is likely due to the Tank having a high amount of health and a very fast speed, which would make the game incredibly difficult if it spawned from Mystery Bosses.
• The current appearance of the Tank is similar to the Charger from Left 4 Dead 2.
  • It could also draw inspiration to the current Boss4 from Tower Battles.
• The Commander's dialogue suggests the Tank can throw boulders. However, this never happens in-game.
  • This is because the dialogue was made during Hardcore Testing BETA, where the Tank still had its Rock Throw ability. The dialogue was not changed for the Overhaul Update.
    • The dialogue also suggests that the Tank used to play in Baseball leagues.
• The Tank was a sendable enemy in PVP Test since the first test, however, it could not actually be sent as it only had 25 waves.
  • This was not the case since the second test, as it was extended to 30 waves there.
  • Its stats were also not finished, with both its speed and health being set to 0.
