User:SomethingOPG/Hive-Minder (Custom Tank)

The Hive-Minder is a Custom Tier 5 tank designed by [ΩΨ] Something and Presumably would upgrade from the Hivemind and Factory.

Design
The Hive-Minder is a Tier-5 tank that has one Basic barrel, a gray circle like a turret and a yellow triangle with the point facing backward.

Technical
The Hive-Minder has a special ability that takes 3 seconds to charge up for upon right-click and shift. During its charge the yellow triangle turns 180.c clockwise very slowly and fires an azure hue coloured bullet, similar to the barrel of the Tempest that has high speed. The "special ability" Turns the tank that gets hit into the Hive-Minders probe for 10 seconds and the probe cannot deal damage to it until the 10 seconds are up. The "special ability" has a 15 second cool-down and the bullet can go through rocks and walls/other bullets.

As the Hive-Minder

 * Try to stay behind rocks while charging for your special ability and if failing wait for another opportunity
 * Stay away from propeller classes as they are a real threat to you
 * Using a ramming build won't hurt as your probe has the same stats as the original tank just slightly less
 * Avoid Jump Smashers at all costs unless you are a highly skilled player

Against the Hive-Minder

 * As mentioned above, preferably use propeller branch tanks especially Propellermind or Xenon as they will be able to deal damage while not being hit and the Xenon since it can dodge better
 * Drone tanks are pretty good and the tempest would do fine
