Cutlass

The Cutlass is a tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Duelist at level 60.

Design
The Duelist has a Jouster Lance on the bottom. Over that, it has a small rectangle, which signifies its extra damage (like Hatchet). On its body it has a triangle to indicate its invisibility perk.

Technical
Short lance, high speed, practically made for ambushing people, the Cutlass is a Jouster with higher lance damage that can go invisible. It is basically the Duelist but it can go invisible. This page is mostly copy-and-pasted from Duelist.

This means it has fast speed but a short lance that deals out death PASSING AWAY upon impact.

Upgrades
The Cutlass upgrades from the Duelist at level 60. It does not upgrade any further.

As the Cutlass

 * Keep in mind that since your lance is shorter than a newborn baby's pinky toe, you need to get super close to an enemy to deal damage.
 * Don't fight AI since their behavior involves backing away and knocking you back with bullets so you'll never get close.
 * if you upgrade movement speed a few times, this is no longer a problem.
 * AI Smasher s are pretty easy to kill though. Let them get close enough and stick your lance in while MOVING AWAY.
 * Ambushing people is very important here since your lance is so short. Upgrade Movement Speed and Bullet (well technically Lance) Damage.
 * if you see a tank that has not seen you yet, go stand somewhat far in front of them and go invisible.
 * Do not fight bullet spammers. Do not fight "crowd-control" tanks (that's like Octo-Tank you know).
 * Go invisible and wait for tanks to pass by, then surprise them. Works better you know!
 * Be weary of The Minesweeper, Cardioid, Anapsid and Seeker. They can all see invisible tanks, so if you see one, just charge at them, or run if your scared like Courage the Cowardly Dog (Oh wait he’s kinda brave-)
 * if you get attacked by drones, just cut them up with your high damage lance.

Against the Cutlass

 * Use a tank with a lot of bullets. This can include focused bullet spammers like Triplet or spread-out ones like Octo-Tank/Spreadling.
 * Don't use Minigun branch though, since their bullets are too weak. Rainmaker is fine though.
 * It's key that you see the Cutlass coming towards you, or else you're dead. Upgrade Movement Speed yourself!
 * Contradicting the previous bullet point, use a tank with high-FOV like Assassin. Kasane is great since it falls under both.
 * When you see the Cutlass, quickly fire lots of bullets at it while BACKING AWAY.
 * Drone tanks are very risky and not recommended. Preferably MAX OUT Movement Speed.
 * If you're using Master (why), turn autofire off so you have a deadly ring of 18 drones that will *clobber* any Cutlass who dares challenge.
 * Lightning and Cavity, with their larger FOV and quick drones, can yeet their drones into Cutlass to kill it. Cavity can do it without being seen.
 * there is a way to counter this
 * If you're really scared of jump scares, use either Minesweeper or Seeker. They can detect invisible entities.(I didn’t know the Seeker could see invisible entities, so thanks for this section -Misfit Being)

Trivia

 * A cutlass is a type of sword used by pirates and explorers in the 1600-1800s (rough estimate).
 * This information is based on reading Treasure Island. Great book!
 * As mentioned on Sword, a katana apparently can't cut through a tree, but regular swords can slice bullets in half.
 * Bullet fragments still travel at an appreciable speed however, and can cause more injuries than the original bullet.
