Caltromancer

The Caltromancer is a Tier 5 Tank upgrading from the at level 60.

Design
The Caltromancer is a Necromancer that looks like a square-bodied Builder. That is, it has a square body and a Block launcher barrel.

The Caltromancer's blocks are squares with 4 small, gray spikes on each side. Its blockchips are smaller versions of this.

Technical
Caltromancer's blocks are fired to where the cursor was. They are strong, deal lots of damage upon contact, and resilient against attacks, but stay in one place.

When shooting, if the Caltromancer’s Block touches another square (known as "infection"), that square will become a Blockchip. Blockchips land wherever the square was, and are slightly weaker than the main Block.

Upgrades
The Caltromancer upgrades from the at level 60.

The Caltromancer does not upgrade any further.

As the Caltromancer

 * Play this tank like the, since Blockchips don't make that big of a difference (they are tasty though).
 * Lure enemies into areas with lots of squares so that they run into Blockchips and take some damage.
 * This strategy is more effective against AI since they travel in a straight path to the player.
 * In Team gamemodes, upgrade Bullet Penetration/Health and support your teammates.
 * Use your high FOV (about that of Builder) to ambush other tanks. Movement Speed helps a lot.
 * Keep in mind that your blocks are fired to the cursor and not just straight forward. Use this to kill bosses while hiding behind rocks.

Against the Caltromancer

 * If the tank is an AI Caltromancer, be extra cautious. Builder AIs are very dangerous and can still attack well out of your FOV.
 * Use good, focused bullet spammers like to penetrate its blocks.
 * Tanks with small bullets like can easily work their bullets around blocks and Blockchips (well they were small to begin with) and deal damage.
 * In Team gamemodes, Caltromancer is more of a support tank. Use crowd-control tanks like and you'll be fine.
 * Be extra careful if Caltromancer lures you into an area with lots of squares.

Trivia

 * It’s name is a portmanteau of the words “Caltrop” and “Necromancer”.
 * A caltrop is a type of weapon similar to a road star. You know, the sharp pointy things the military uses to pop tires.
 * If the Caltromancer infects green/orange squares, they turn into bigger, stronger Blockchips.
