TK-X

The TK-X (Triangle King-X) series of bosses based on the Triangle. TK-1 was added to the game on July 16, 2018. TK-2 was added into the game the same day, but one hour later. TK-3 was also added on the same day, but two hours later. TK-4 was added to the game on July 17, 2018, the next day. TK-5 was added into the game on July 18, 2018, as the last TK-X boss of the series. All bosses were added within these three days.

Mostly, TK-X do not have unique primary cannon, with the exception of TK-3. Instead, TK-X is mostly based on traps and minions. TK-1 is based only on traps, TK-2 is also based on traps but has some minions. TK-3, TK-4, and TK-5 are not based on the traps anymore, and instead have powerful swarm drones, drones, and minions. TK-4 only has 5 unique minions, while TK-5 has 9 unique minions and 13 non-unique minions.

TK-X cannot currently spawn in the game under any circumstances and is on the TESTBED bosses branch. Higher tiers of TK-X are blatantly OP and TK-5 can cause lag to the server easily.

Tiers
TK-1=

Design
TK-1 has an orange triangular base with a Subduer auto-turret on top and three Builder turrets on each side of its base.

Technical
TK-1 has medium health and speed. Its blocks have decent range and high speed, health, and damage. Blocks are fired at a pretty fast rate and have high penetration. Its bullets have medium speed, low penetration, and decent damage.

Countering
Although TK-1 may seem not very strong, it will still prove a problem to kill. This boss is more defensive than offensive because its blocks protect the boss much. Bullets are not very strong and can be penetrated easily by most tanks. When fighting TK-1, try to keep a longer range since its blocks may be too hard to dodge at medium range.

One option of killing TK-1 is using a tank with high penetration, like Splitter or Macheptionist. Your bullets must be enough strong to penetrate the blocks of the boss, and deal damage to it. Upgrade your bullet speed so that you can deal damage to the boss from the longer ranges and the blocks will not obstruct your bullets.

Another option of killing TK-1 is by using a Builder branch tank with a high FoV or scoping. If you stay at longer ranges and wait until the boss will be distracted, your blocks will be able to deal high damage to it. Engineer branch tanks can also accomplish the task of dealing damage to this boss while it is distracted.


 * -|TK-2=

Design
TK-2 has an orange triangular base with a Traplet turret on top and three auto-turrets on the edges of its base. On each side, TK-2 has two Builder turrets and a spawner in between.

Technical
TK-2 has a low speed and medium health and always spins. Its traps have high speed and range, medium health, and damage. Its blocks are fired at the same rate as TK-1's blocks, but they have slightly more health and more range. Auto-turrets do not help the boss much, as they have high speed but low penetration and damage.

TK-2 also spawns six minions, each of which resembles a Trapper. They have high health and speed, do not ram enemies, and shoot traps. These traps have low speed and range, but decent damage and health.

Countering
Although TK-2 has only slightly stronger overall firepower compared to TK-1, it has far stronger offensive capabilities due to its minions. Minions represent a threat because of their very high range and the fact they will circle around you from all flanks. Running away will not be a problem, since minions will line up and you will be able to kill them all. Killing TK-2 in solo will be very hard, yet it is possible if the player is skilled enough.

Firstly, make sure you pick a tank with a very high DPS, like Splitter, Twinceptionist, or Twinliner. Secondly, make sure you upgraded Shield regeneration a bit to make sure you will be less vulnerable to minion traps and bullets. Make sure you maximize movement speed so you can outlast minions longer. After you picked such tanks, try to keep a longer distance, and shoot at the gaps between blocks of TK-2. In the meanwhile, move in a left-right pattern, to dodge traplet traps. When you will deal some damage, kill all the minions, come from a different angle, and repeat the procedure. Although it will take much time to kill TK-2, you will still be able to kill it in solo.

It is advised instead to attack TK-2 in teams or at least with one more player. This will provide a much needed diversion, as minions will be distracted. Since TK-2 will have fewer blocks to defend it, any tank with high penetration and DPS will be able to kill it.
