Underseer

The Underseer is a Tier 3 Tank that upgrades from the Director at level 30. The Underseer branch is known for its ability to infect matching polygons.

Design
The Underseer has a square body with two sunchip spawners on its sides.

Technical
The Underseer is a sunchip tank, meaning it controls squares, or sunchips, instead of shooting bullets. These are controlled very similarly to drones. Sunchips are slightly weaker than regular drones, but the Underseer makes up for it in quantity.

Sunchips are able to infect squares and turn them into controllable sunchips by coming into contact with them. If the Underseer already has the max amount of sunchips, the square will take damage instead.

The Underseer's max drone count is dependent on its Respawn Rate (reload) stat. At 0 reload points, it can control up to 14 squares. At max reload, it can control 28 squares.

As the Underseer

 * Try going to abandoned areas with lots of squares to easily replenish your sunchips.
 * Avoid the nest as no squares spawn there and you will also be constantly attacked by crashers.
 * Use your drones to ambush and overwhelm other tanks.
 * A strategy knows as The Claw can be used on directed fire tanks, due to the high amount of drones. Repel your drones until they surround someone, then collapse all the drones around someone, so that they are surrounded by drones, and cannot take all of them out. Note that you have to keep your drones in a tight area, to prevent the opponent from dodging most of the drones, leaving you vulnerable to getting taken out.
 * Keep fights short by either taking out the opponent or crippling them, or retreat. Against AI's you can try to rush kill them without using any repelling.
 * Run away or avoid spread fire tanks, as they will eliminate your drones extremely quickly

Against the Underseer

 * If you aren't being attacked by the Underseer directly, always try to fire at it to whittle down its sunchips and force it to get more.
 * Agile tanks like the Tri-Angle can dodge the Underseer's sunchips and attack them directly.
 * Spread-fire tanks will eliminate drones quickly, leaving them vulnerable.
