Descender

The Descender is a Tier 5 Tank upgrading from Fighter and Ascender at level 60.

Design
The Descender has 5 barrels in the arrangement of a Fighter (1 in front, 2 on side, 2 on back) with an Ascender barrel in the back. The Ascender barrel looks like a brush with some grey rectangles on the sides. It shoots big bullets that look like Spikes.

It kinda looks like a garbage truck not gonna lie, like one of those street-cleaning cars maybe.

Technical
The Descender shoots front bullets with the equivalent firepower of Basic and side bullets with less power. Its propelling bullets barely deal any damage but give a lot of propulsion.

Its Ascender barrel shoots powerful Spikes that are Destroyer bullets but faster and with longer reload. It also has a lot of recoil and gives the Descender short bursts of speed occasionally.

Strategy
WARNING: The Descender is an overpowered tank that is commonly used by tryhards and will earn the disapproval of ThuliumThe69thElement (the creator of this sentence) and others if used. Use at your own risk!

As the Descender

 * Tanks can't chase after you that well because they'd have to swerve around to not get one-shot. Use this to escape if you're low on health!
 * Alternatively, you can whip around right before shooting a Spike at someone to demolish them.
 * Hunt low-ROF or slow tanks, because they won't be able to deal with your speed and Ascender cannon.
 * You can also play it like a Fighter or a Gleamer. See their pages for more details.
 * Avoid Chiller tanks. Your speed and Spike bullet will both become useless. If you like taking risks though then sure go ahead, you stand a chance with your front bullet.

Against the Descender

 * Use Chiller tanks. They can slow down the Spike bullet and prevent the Descender from escaping. Upgrade bullet stats.
 * Bullet spammers can at least protect themselves, just upgrade Movement Speed and you'll be fine. Don't try to kill it though.
 * Do not use Propeller branch. I repeat, DO NOT use Propeller branch. Do you want to get one-shot?
 * Speaking of one-shot, Steamroller upgrades like Planer or the Redistributor can bait the Descender into attacking then kill it. This is risky though. Careful!
 * Generally, if you see a Descender above 1 million points, go play Oxyrex.io instead. At least they don't have Descender yet.
