Bite of '87

The Bite of '87 is a Tier 5 Tank that upgrades from Akafuji at level 60.

Design
The Bite of '87 has a circular body with a long lance that can open up smoothly, revealing a Pounder barrel. Like others tanks of the Akafuji branch, its lance is actually made of two shapes that meet at the middle, giving it the signature line down the center of its lance typical of the branch. The lances will also open and close on the leaderboard, reflecting the tank's current state. Its lances are considerably longer than other Akafujis.

Technical
Like most lancers, the Bite of '87 moves very fast. Its long, wide lance makes it easy to block most bullets as well as attack effectively. The lance is not as strong as it used to be, but is still a formidable weapon. The bullet barrel fires bullets that are stronger than Pounder's but has less reload.

As the Bite of '87

 * To get in the Pentagon Nest without danger you should destroy polygons with your Pounder cannon and use the lance to kill crashers. Crushers will be more tough.
 * To beat Smasher class, just use your lance and get back until he has at least ¼ of it's health, where you can run into it and finally kill it.
 * You can click and hold on both left and right mouse buttons for greatly increased rate of fire from the pounder, as its cooldown resets each time it reopens. The constant swinging of the lances also provides some defense.
 * If you plan to employ this strategy, you can actually forego using any points in reload at all. This gives you many points to distribute to other things and can be very helpful.

Against The Bite of '87

 * Use drones or Ceptionist tanks to outflank the Bite of '87. It is also weaker when it changes form, even if it's for a very short period.
 * As a Pounder tank, he will have a bad reload but good damage, which is easy to dodge. Use a strong but fast tank to dodge and deal damage to the Bite of '87.

Trivia

 * The Bite of '87 gets its name from the Five Nights at Freddy's series, where an incident of the same name plays a pivotal role in the story.
 * Another tank that references this franchise is the Springlock.
