Welcome to the scrapyard wars of Spider Tanks! Spider Tanks is a free-to-play and play-to-earn 3v3 brawler/MOBA game under the Gala Games blockchain gaming umbrella. In this game, players can choose from a variety of tank bodies, weapons, and abilities to engage in various game modes. This guide will help you maneuver the metal mayhem and emerge victorious.

Game Modes

• Shooting Range: Practice with all available tank bodies, weapons, colors, and abilities.
• Team Deathmatch: Gain more kills than the opposing team.
• Kill Confirmed: Kill opponents and collect their dropped eggs.
• Chicken Chaser: Collect chickens and throw them into barrels around the map.
• Poultry Pusher: Push your team’s giant chicken to a designated location.
• King of the Hill: Control and defend a randomly located control point.
• Capture the Flag: Capture the flag and protect it for as long as possible.
• Exhibition: Fight against friends without affecting your Battle rating or earning rewards.
• Survival: Test your skills against various enemy NPCs and see how long you can last.

Abilities

Players can equip 2 out of 20 available abilities, categorized as Buffs & Debuffs, Turrets, Healing, Drones, and Area of Effect. These abilities provide various benefits, such as invisibility, extra damage, healing, turret support, and area-of-effect attacks.

Buff & Debuff: Enhance your tank’s capabilities or hinder your opponents’.  The Decoy ability can create a temporary holographic replica to confuse enemies, while Reactive Plating bolsters your tank’s armor for a short duration.  Conversely, the Graphnel Launcher can root enemy tanks in place, making them easy targets for your team.

Turrets: Supplement your firepower with deployable turrets.  The Artillery Turret unleashes powerful, long-range bombardments, while the Machine Gun Turret delivers a steady stream of bullets to shred closer targets. Choose the turret that best complements your weapon’s range and damage profile.

Healing: Keep yourself and your allies in the fight with healing abilities.  The Repair Drone constantly heals a target tank, while the Repair Zone creates a stationary field that regenerates health for any teammate within its area.  These abilities are invaluable for sustaining pressure and securing objectives.

Drones: Deploy robotic companions to enhance your tank’s capabilities.  The Cloak Drone renders your tank invisible for a brief period, allowing you to reposition or flank unsuspecting enemies. The Shield Drone, on the other hand, provides a temporary energy shield to an allied tank, making them more resilient in battle.  Drones offer strategic utility to adapt to various combat situations.

Area of Effect: Unleash potent effects that can devastate multiple enemies or turn the tide of battle.  The Air Strike calls in a missile barrage that rains down on a designated area, while the Repulsor Zone pushes enemies back, disrupting their formations and creating separation lines.  Area of Effect abilities are excellent for zoning enemies, controlling the battlefield, and creating opportunities for teammates to capitalize.

Tips for Playing

• Stay close to heal packs when possible to recover health during fights.
• Always try to move away from opponents when fighting to have more reaction time to dodge projectiles.
• The Shield ability is great for charging through chokepoints, diving low-health enemies, or staying alive at low health.
• Learn the ins and outs of each map to use them to your advantage.

Strategies to win

• Use heal packs and healing abilities to stay in the fight longer.
• Employ abilities that complement your playstyle and weapon type.
• Coordinate with your team for effective area-of-effect abilities and map control.
• Learn and adapt to different strategies for each game mode.
