Technical

As its name implies, the Tri-Lancer has two lances on its rear as well.

The Tri-Lancer can upgrade to the following:
 * (Lv. 45)
 * (Lv. 45)

As the Tri-Lancer

 * Like other melee tanks, the Tri-Lancer benefits from upgrading movement speed to make up for its short range.
 * Tanks with weak bullets are very vulnerable to the Tri-Lancer, as your lance will block all of their bullets.
 * In a similar vein, avoid tanks like the Pounder, Sniper, and drone tanks, as their bullets are more durable and can get past your lance.


 * (Only attempt this if you are a really good mouser) Use your cursor to spin around at high speed. Using a 0/0/0/9/9/9/7/8 build, you will be able to defend yourself against swarming enemies like the Apidae for a short while. Hold out until an ally sees you in trouble.

Against the Tri-Lancer

 * The Tri-Lancer cannot do anything to enemies at long range until it gets into melee range.
 * Homing bullets or swarms are effective against the Tri-Lancer, as they can bypass its lances.
 * Minion tanks or Hivemind tanks can also surround the Tri-Lancer.
 * If they are spinning rapidly, retreat. The battle will last dangerously long, allowing someone else to stand up against you. It will also nullify pretty much everything mentioned.
