Noviciate

The Noviciate is a Tier 4 Tank that upgrades from the Pathogen and the Probationer at level 45.

Design
The Noviciate has a circular body with a drone spawner and a small barrel both representing the front and main barrel. Nothing else happens unless you upgrade it.

Technical
The Noviciate is a Director branch that controls Drones. (pretty obvious) It’s drones are average in size, speed, and DPS. Unlike other drone tanks, however, the Noviciate also has a small barrel that fires at a fast rate and deals moderate damage. The Noviciate can control a maximum of 6 drones at a time.

As the Noviciate

 * You can fire your bullets and control your drones at the same time. This lets you attack enemies with bullets from the front while also flanking them simultaneously with drones.

Against the Noviciate

 * Investing a few points into your Max Health and stats can help you survive against the Pathogen's attacks like 3 or possibly 9.
 * The Noviciate only has one drone spawner, so destroying its drones means it will take a long time to replenish the drones entirely.
