Derringer

 is a Tier 5 Tank that upgrades from Akafuji and Auto Tank at Level 60.

Design
When closed, it is indistinguishable from most other Akafuji branches. When it opens, however, it opens a full 90 degrees like Nokideth. Unlike Nokideth though, it reveals 4 autoturrets instead of 4 swarm guns.

Technical
Each of 's autoturrets can pivot about 150 degrees independently. They can pivot quite far but will not pivot far enough to let the turret clip into the lance they are mounted to. Its autoturrets deal decent damage, and are brutally effective in farming. They are also okay at fighting, especially if the user can get up close. Like all Akafuji-branch tanks, the lance still deals damage when opened.

As the

 * Like all Akafujis, users must have a good sense when to use their open and closed forms.
 * You have very good attack and defense, so a speed build will make you almost invincible. And remember that your auto-turrets have their own FOV, so you can attack enemies from far, or close.
 * Derringer has the unique ability to destroy its bullets mid-flight by closing its lance, allowing users to avoid destroying undesired targets such as a Mailman block.

Against the

 * A is powerful, so even drone tanks won't be enough. Try a fast tank, like Propeller, Tri-Angle...     Bullet spammers can work if you're fast.
 * Never approach a, even if it is open. Its turrets will shred you rapidly and it can always close its lance on you, killing you even faster.
 * Be aware that even while opened its lances still deal damage. While their damage is weakened compared to their closed form, they can still block weak attacks from the sides such as swarms from a Battleship.

Trivia
