Masonry

The Masonry is a tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Auger and the Bonker at level 60.

Design
The Masonry has a Auger body, which is noticeably smaller than normal. The Auger shell spins much slower than usual.

Technical
The Masonry has the same upgrades as the Auger, and it has an upgrade cap of 15. Like the Auger, it can’t upgrade acceleration. Like the, it has slightly faster movement speed, but with less acceleration, FoV, and health.

As the Masonry

 * As with most smashers, your best strategy is to take out enemies quickly with the element of surprise.
 * Use your higher upgrade cap to get people to underestimate your power. This works surprisingly well, probably because people don't expect a Bonker-size smasher to have so much body damage.
 * The above statement also applies for other Smashers, which means overconfident players can try to outram you. Depending on your build, you should be able to win these, unless they are from the (and sometimes ) branches.
 * You have more health than you think. This allows you to tank some bullet clouds, such as those of the Storm branch.
 * Teaming up with other fast, Bonker-branch tanks is an extremely viable strategy. It works especially well against the Bonker branch's main counter; massive dps tanks, like or the infamous.
 * Be careful around -branch tanks, excepting . It should be easy to take by surprise and destroy.



Against the Masonry

 * No matter what tank you are using, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE IT. Almost any tank can be crushed by the Masonry if you are unwary.
 * As mentioned above, high dps tanks can shred through the masonry's health without letting it get close.
 * This does not apply for the branch, which more often than not will not be able to spot the enemy soon enough to get enough damage in.
 * High FoV tanks can spot the Masonry from far away, but often lack the firepower to properly damage it. has a high enough dps to damage the Masonry along with Sniper-grade Fov, Whereas  has a single shot with enough damage to deter the Masonry.
 * and branch tanks are still useful against the Masonry, but they are not as much of a hard counter as before, so don't get cocky.



Trivia

 * Masonry is the art and craft of building and fabricating in stone, clay, brick, or concrete block.
 * The Auger, the masonry's previous upgrade, is a device used to drill holes in materials, and is sometimes used in masonry when working with heavy-duty materials. Augers also look really cool.
