Spider Tanks: Beginner's Game Mode Tips and Info

Here are some beginner tips and guide on how to play all Game Modes like Chicken Chaser, Poultry Pusher, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Team Death Match, and Kill Confirmed in the free to play PVP Brawler game ~ Spider Tanks.

Please note that this is not the only way to play these game modes. Feel free to explore and use your own play style depending on your tank's overall performance, preference, or team strategies.

Chicken Chaser

Game Mode - Objective:

   - Chickens are scattered throughout the map, collect and deposit Chickens into those Barrels to score points! The team that deposits the most Chickens before the timer runs out ~ wins!

Chicken Chaser Beginner Tips

   - Focus more on collecting Chickens, only attack if needed (ex: to steal Chickens, to help your teammate, or to defend yourself).

   - Use the Barrel as shield from enemy attacks, move around it if needed.
   - Abilities like [Repair Zone] or [Shield Drone] for example can increase your survivability while depositing Chickens and defending yourself from enemy attacks.

   - If you have a close/mid ranged weapon with high burst damage, you can try and setup some ambush plays to steal their chickens (best if you have an ability that can help you do this easier like [Cloak Drone], [Relay Drone], or [Disguise Drone] for example).
   - If you have [Air Strike] or [Grenade] ability, you can also use them to nuke enemies near those Barrels, then quickly move in to steal their Chickens.

Tips For Faster Tanks

   - Faster tanks are really good here, use their movement speed to scout areas faster, to steal Chickens around your opponent's area, and to support your team with equipped abilities.
   - Just be careful not to fall into ambushes though.

Tips For Slower or Super Slow Tanks

   - For slower tanks, it might be best to prioritize chickens near your Barrel first.
   - Support your teammates carrying Chickens with abilities like [Repair Zone], or use your high Armor tank to shield them from enemy attacks if needed.

   - Optional Trick = Another way is to bait your enemies to attack you (preferably target faster tanks).
   - Let them waste their time killing you (pretend you are a noob, miss some of your shots but keep dodging their attacks), even better if you have [Repair Zone] or [Shield Drone] for example to increase your survivability. This way that tank can't utilize it's fast movement speed.

Poultry Pusher

Game Mode - Objective

   - Defend while staying inside your Chicken Overlord's range to advance it's movement, annihilate the enemy team or force them to move out of their Chicken Overlord's range to delay or reverse it's movement!

Poultry Pusher Beginner Tips

   - Once the battle starts, quickly move to your Chicken Overlord and defend.
   - 2 Defenders and 1 Attacker = most commonly used strategy. Use the chat to talk with your team, decide who will stay or attack.
   - 1 Defender and 2 Attackers = also ok especially if your team is lagging behind and have 2 capable attackers, then just go back to 2 Defenders once your team is leading.

   - 3 Defenders = possible strategy right from the start or near the end, but only if you team is leading. 1 Defender can go outside the range to attack or disrupt attackers.

Tips For Defenders

   - Healers with [Repair Zone] ability are really good here for sustain, especially for certain maps.

   - Tanks with decent or high Armor + any ability than can increase survivability is also a good option here.
   - Try to find a way to counter attackers (using spam heal/repair or dodge), but if it is better to go outside the range to eliminate the target, then do it. 

Tips For Attackers

   - Long ranged tanks are your safe bets here but results would still depend on the tank's capabilities (AoE/Single) and player skill. A long ranged attacker that can't be reached by enemy defenders is the most ideal scenario.

   - Even better if you have an offensive type ability like [Air Strike] or [Grenade] for example to help nuke your targets!

   - If you have a close/mid ranged weapon with high burst damage and decent Armor, you can try and setup an attack to at least force them to move outside the range of their Chicken Overlord (must have an ability that can help you do this easier like [Cloak Drone], [Relay Drone] or [Shield Drone] for example).

   - Kamikaze attacks using [Reactive Plating] is also a viable option here if done right, try using together with [Repair Drone] ability.

Capture the Flag

Game Mode - Objective

   - Capture the Chicken Flag and hold it for as long as possible. Eliminate the carrier to retrieve the flag back to your team. Note though that even if the timer runs out, your team can still clutch a game and win!

Capture the Flag Beginner Tips

   - Once the battle starts, quickly move to the location where you can grab the Chicken Flag (varies per map). Be careful though, if you think you can't survive even if you can get the flag, it might be better to eliminate your enemies first.

Tips For Flag Holders

   - NOTE: The Chicken Flag holder will always get a speed debuff (slower movement speed). Really not cool if you have a slow tank >_<, unless you have a [Speed Booster] ability...

   - Always move to a safer place = near your teammates, away from your enemies, or near those areas where you can grab some Repair Items.

Tips For Protectors

   - Help your flag holder survive longer using [Repair Zone], [Turrets], or [Shield Projector] for example. You may also use [Reactive Plating] or [Shield Drone] ability to absorb incoming damages.

Tips For Attackers

   - One easy way is to use a close/mid ranged weapon with high burst damage and decent Armor, you can try and setup a sneak attack (must have an ability that can help you do this easier like [Cloak Drone] or [Relay Drone] for example).

   - Kamikaze attacks using [Reactive Plating] or [Shield Drone] for example is also a viable option here if done right, best done together with your teammates.

King of the Hill

Game Mode - Objective

   - Capture and defend the Point for as long as possible. Note though that even if the timer runs out, your team can still clutch a game and win!

King of the Hill Beginner Tips

   - Once the battle starts, quickly move to the location where you can capture the Point (varies per map). Be careful though, it might be better to eliminate your enemies first!

   - Capture Progress = Depends on how many players are inside the circle, so if possible get all 3 tanks inside it to capture the Point faster!

Tips For Attackers

   - Find a way to destroy their Defense.
   - Turret spammers are kinda annoying here, better clear them asap before diving in.

   - Check if you team needs to eliminate those Healers or AoE tanks first to capture the Point much easier. One way is to use a close/mid ranged weapon with high burst damage and decent Armor, you can try and setup a sneak attack (must have an ability that can help you do this easier like [Cloak Drone], [Relay Drone] or [Speed Booster] for example).

   - Abilities like [Repair Zone] or [Shield Drone] for example can increase your team's survivability while capturing the Point. If you are lucky, it is also possible to capture a point just by using a [Cloak Drone] ability.

Tips For Defenders

   - For defenders, do not let your enemies go inside the Point to keep their Capture Progress low.
   - Tanks with high Armor + Healer combo = If your team can successfully heal all incoming damages, it's going to be an easy battle.

   - Help defend by using abilities like [Repair Zone], [Turrets], or [Shield Projector] for example.
   - You may also use [Reactive Plating] or [Shield Drone] ability to absorb incoming damages while waiting for your dead teammates to come back.

   - Another way is to wait for them to try to capture the Point, then use offensive type abilities like [Air Strike] or [Grenade] for example to help nuke your targets!

Team Death Match

Game Mode - Objective

   - Plain and simple, each team fights until the timer runs out, the team with higher kill count ~ wins!

Team Death Match Beginner Tips

   - Work with your team, effectively use your abilities to help or support your teammates.
   - Avoid diving in alone unless you know what you are doing.
   - Use those Repair Items to your advantage, keep your armor (HP) high.

   - Check the timer, if the battle is about to end... it might be better for the whole team to just avoid fights or defend (only if you team is leading though).

   - NOTE: [BOT] teammates sucks... you need to follow and support them when they dive or else they will just give free kills...

Kill Confirmed

Game Mode - Objective

   - Similar with Team Death Match but this time your team needs to confirm the kill by collecting their Eggs (dropped by other players).

Kill Confirmed Beginner Tips

   - Check Team Death Match Beginner Tips above for more info.

   - Abilities like [Relay Drone], [Shield Drone] or [Speed Booster] for example can help you dive in and grab those Eggs if needed.

   - You can also grab those Blue Eggs dropped by your teammates to deny them a kill point, try to defend it while waiting for their cooldown.
