The Smacker is a tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Smasher and the Hivemind.

History
The Smacker was first suggested by Stoplookin9 on September 9, 2020.

Design
The Smacker looks very similar to the Smasher. The only exception is that the Smacker has a thicker shell, which makes it look like the Mega-Smasher.

Technical
The Smacker has a similar design to the Smasher, with a 12 point cap on upgrades. However, it regains bullet upgrades like the Auto-Smasher. Like the Hivemind, it can spawn 2 Smacker probes. The probes behave more like drones and cluster around the mouse rather than circle around the mouse like minions. The probes have 20% of the Smacker’s health and body damage.

Upgrades
The Smacker upgrades from the Smasher and the Hivemind. It does not upgrade any further.

As the Smacker

 * Spend points in reload and drone health as your probes can defend you.
 * Movement speed isn’t much of a necessity as you probes are deadly and quite fast already.

Against the Smacker

 * If you are retreating away from the Smacker, you need a lot of speed. It’s probes are quite fast.
 * Focus on shooting the Smacker. If you shoot the probes, you will waste time as the Smacker has fast probe respawning.

Trivia

 * It is very difficult to tell the Smacker from the Mega-Smasher.
