The Frigate is a Tier 3 tank that upgrades from either Flank Guard or Troopship. It fires more Battleship drones with its additional spawner, albeit these ones are AI-controlled. It may further upgrade into Battleship, Warship, Infiltrator, Attack Ship, Cargo, Hwacha, Mutilator, Satellite, Saboteur, Firefly, Stinger or Carrier at level 45.
Design[]
The Frigate features a circular body and two Battleship drone spawners, one on front and another on back.
Technical[]
If the player upgrades from Flank Guard, the bullets are replaced with the same drones of the Battleship. Upgrading from the Troopship adds another spawner on its back. The Frigate's drones are either controllable or not, depending on which spawner they came from. Those that spawned from the front spawner are controllable, while those that are spawned from the back are not. Compared to the Flank Guard's bullets, the drones do slightly lower damage. The Frigate's FoV also increases to stage 2, allowing it to see further, similar to Sniper.
Strategy[]
- Strong Against: Unprepared tanks, slow moving tanks with low Reload.
- Weak Against: Overseer branch, Assassin branch, tanks with decent or high DPS like Gunner or Twin.
The Frigate can be considered a weaker version of Battleship. While there is a little difference in design, the Frigate's front spawner positioned directly allows the drones spawned to hit their target easily and faster. However, this prevents a precise swarm-like attack which the Battleship can do, since the Frigate's back spawner spawns drones not controllable by the player.
Due to the Frigate's weaponry, the Gunner branch can easily eliminate it with ease. The bullets, despite their size, can overwhelm the drones by numbers. This is also the case with the Twin, as when having high bullet stats, the Frigate will struggle on its survival.
Trivia[]
- This tank used to be named as Apiary.
- Apiaries are actually places where bees and their hives are being kept after collecting them.
- Despite the Flank Guard's back cannon being shorter, the Frigate's back spawner is the same length with its front spawner.
