As The Acicula

 * You can kinda just charge at people and kill them. This tank is a combination of two of the best Smasher branches so it is quite easy to use.
 * That being said, you are somewhat slow due to your Mega Smasher component. Keep this in mind, as although you have the natural Smasher speed boost some fast tanks may be able to keep up with you even as you flee.
 * Drone tanks are easy pray, as long as they’re not skilled enough to be agile and confusing with their paths or can control their drones well.
 * Avoid any Tank with chill effects,

Against The Acicula

 * Use something like the Chiller to kill it, greatly weakening its ability to ram.
 * Trailblazer branches may also have a chance at this, being able to both deal superior melee damage or outrun it if necessary.
 * Powerful but slow reload tanks should wait for them to get close enough to ram and then fire, guaranteeing a hit and possibly forcing them to back off.

Trivia

 * When turning the Miter Edges option on, the Acicula looks spikier. This also occurs with Traps, Blocks and the Mega Crusher.
 * The word acicula, in a mineral context, describes a spike of an acicular form.
