Microphone

The Microphone is a Tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Mini Swarmer, the Tailgator, the Launcher and the Puncher at level 60.

Design
The Microphone has a circular body and multiple guns overlapped.

Technical
The Microphone fires 3 types of bullets at once; hives, missiles and auto-bullets. Hives are rotating bullets with bee spawners on them, at a slow rate. Its hives' bees are very fast but do not deal a lot of damage. Getting hit by the hive itself deals a chunk of damage as well. Missiles are similar to normal bullets but they have propulsion barrels, in this case having one directly behind it that boosts it forward. This missile tends to get ahead of the others due to its propulsion.

The Microphone also has a very slightly increased field of view.

As the Microphone

 * Fire your hives at enemies at long range and let their bees chip them down.
 * Bees are great at circumventing the enemy's defense as they are both fast and can come from a lot of different angles at once.
 * At close range, don't be afraid to fire your hive directly into an enemy as it still has the strength of Pounder bullets.

Against the Microphone

 * Bullet spammers can easily destroy the Microphone's bullets.
 * Bees do not deal that much damage at once, making the Microphone vulnerable to enemies that can one-shot it.
 * The Microphone does not have a high rate of fire nor can it defend itself from its flank well.

Trivia

 * When it was initially released, it only upgraded from Mini Swarmer, Tailgator and Launcher. It upgrading from Puncher was only added later.
 * Upgrading through Puncher is the only path to Microphone that does not skip a tier, as all of its pre-evolutions are Tier 3 while only Puncher is tier 4.
