Strategy

As the Flank Guard

• Your main strength is the coverage your back guns give you.
• Due to the rear guns, the Flank Guard does not suffer any recoil when shooting, making you slightly faster when chasing someone.
• You can fight off people from multiple angles.
• However, with no recoil, it is harder to run away compared to the Basic.

Against the Flank Guard

• The Flank Guard does not have much firepower in any one direction, since all the barrels and bullets are almost 100% the same of a Basic's.
• Use Pounder, as the strength of the bullet is likely to plow through the Flank Guard's mediocre fire.
• The Flank Guard's coverage is still weak and leaves a lot of gaps.

Trivia

• The concept of the Flank Guard originates from Diep.io, but its Diep incarnation has 2 guns front-to-back rather than 3 equidistant ones.
