Swordsmachine

= Swordsmachine =

The Swordsmachine is a tier 5  tank that upgrades from  and  at level 60.

Design
The Swordsmachine appears to be an amalgam of it's two previous upgrades, itself having the lance of the Slayer but with yellow serrations, and a shotgun barrel that extends on a rectangle to the right of the tank.

Technical
The Slayer lance and Shotgun barrel work as expected, with the Shotgun barrel firing slightly to the right of the tank. Upon upgrading, a green background message will appear on your screen, reading "ALL HAIL SWORDSMACHINE".

Upgrades to

 * The Swordsmachine has no upgrades due to being a tier 5 tank.

As the Swordsmachine

 * Keep in mind that your Shotgun barrel is off centred. This can allow you to shoot around some maze walls and occasionally around some more focused bullet spammers such as, but honestly it's not that useful just remember that its in a wack location and will do its best to confuse both you and the enemy.
 * Seeing as both of your weapons specialize in close range decimation, you want to stay in close range to try to use your lance. and to ensure that most of your Shotgun bullets hit.
 * If facing large one-shotters such as or the  branch, stay in mid range, as this will ensure that your Shotgun has chip damage capability and you will be able to wear them down.
 * Your Shotgun barrel's reload appears to have been decreased, so do not be afraid to max out reload, as this will increase both of your weapons effectiveness.
 * Because of your Slayer ancestry, you can dive into bullet clouds to reach their centre and murder the tank that created them. However, this is extremely dangerous with any tank that uses bullets any smaller than a Basic's.

Against the Swordsmachine

 * As both of its weapons are close range, long range tanks such as those of the branch are ideal for taking this thing down. Just make sure to spec into some amount of reload as the Swordsmachine can block some amount of damage with it's lance.
 * You know what isn't good against the Swordsmachine? for once, it isn't even too difficult to take down Ṯ̷̢͕̩̳̙͛̒͒ḣ̸̺͍̫͠i̷͈̤̇̈́̓s̸͉̣͇͈̓͂̔̾͌ ̶͓̺̺̅̋͝T̷̨̽̃͒͘h̷̩̙̗̘͕͒͑į̶̲̉̿͆́͘n̷̹͔̠̂̀̚ģ̵̯̟͇̮̟̟̃̎̄ because of the lance. Bullet spammers with large projectiles will be murdered by the Swordsmachine.
 * However, smaller projectile bullet spammers such as the and  branch (excluding Coin/Dimegun) can shred the Swordsmachine with ease due to their high density, small bullet, bullet clouds.
 * Tera Trapper and other similar tanks can surprise and atomize the Swordsmachine, but this is very risky, as it has increased base movement speed due to the lance on its body, and thus you run the risk of wasting your shot because of the Swordsmachine backpedaling away from your giant trap.
