Types of Isidas

Types of Isidas

 

All of you have faced an Isida in your tanki career in battles. Whether the Isida is your teammate or your enemy, there are types of Isidas. Let's dig through the classification of Isidas.

 

1. Pet Isidas

 

Example:

 

Me:  Hey izzy, will you heal me too because I don't have health?

 

Isida:  No. -_- I will only heal this guy... He is a pro and you are a noob. To be honest, our team doesn't "fail" if you die. Shoo shoo away.

 

Narrator: The Isida healed the Smoky Viking guy until the battle ended. Well, you know what? The Smoky Viking guy kept giving the Isida flags to flatter and tame his "pet" without even capping his own. And when the battle ended, that Smoky Viking guy placed lower than ihatepasswordisback. XD

 

Analysis: These Isidas are very vicious to the team. Even the owner who has the pet Isida gets harassed by the constant begging of flags. These pet Isidas don't care about their team which leads to the loss for the team.

 

How to handle them: When you see them on your team, don't panic. The pet Isida probably has an owner and that owner probably would feel the responsibility to fetch flags for his/her Isida. Therefore, when you use tankialgebra, you don't really need to play hard because the owner would do everything for you by getting flags for the team's victory. (In favor of the Isida mostly.) :D

 

2. Vulcan Isidas.

 

Analysis: These Isidas are similar to pet Isidas except for one thing. They only heal Vulcans.

 

Example:

 

Me: Hey izzy can you heal me because I am running low on health.

 

Isida: Well...:/ hmmm. I gotta help this Vulcan to shoot nonstop at the enemies. He might get roasted if he overheats. Don't get me wrong. I am doing this FOR the team.

 

Me: ;_; Actually, my heart is getting roasted. It needs some healing.

 

Narrator: Even though the Isida gave excuses for not helping his/her teammates, he/she constantly earned exp throughout the game. The Vulcan, wasn't shooting at enemies. It was shooting into the blank void forever.

 

Analaysis(continued): These Isidas are very good at tricking people. Vulcans aren't the only key to success on the team. Vulcans are usually mounted on heavy hulls. How would the (potato chip eating) hulls carry the flags? 

 

How to handle them: You have to bear the pain and the jealousy of seeing the sight even though Isidas are cute. :P  You just mind your own business and cap flags for your team.

 

Not all Isidas are bad. There are also good Isidas in Tanki Online.

 

3. The Good Isidas

 

We can divide this into two categories: The offensive Isidas and the Medics

 

A. Offensive Isidas

 

Explanation: These Isidas can be good but bad in other perspectives. 

 

Example

 

Me: Hey izzy, nice capping 7 flags for our team. However, will you heal us while you cap?

 

Isida: I got no time for this. I have to cap more flags for our team's victory. 

 

Me(in thoughts): Well... What is the purpose for being an Isida then?

 

Explanation(continued): These Isidas are of course helpful in battles. They help you win. There might be other opinions with these Isidas. Are they helping your team or just doing it for their own good? (Feel free to state your comments below)

 

 B. The medics

 

Explanation: They are the best Isidas in the Tankiverse. They heal all team members and help flag carriers survive by healing them. They move everywhere for members who don't have much health left. They don't have any negative points. They are the Isidas everyone wants in their team. :D

man, u just slapped me so hard....

i am that offensive isida. but look, u think then what's the use of isida? i use it for self-healing. u should mention that, so as to stop spreading propaganda against isidas  <_<

[Ninja 10,468]

As tweez said, some pics would be nice. Otherwise great article.

[Penguin40 1,714]

nice one, but you missed one type. The Penguins The Versatile Isidas. These do both jobs in the battle - offensive at times, a medic in others. They may be normally offensive but may turn into a medic when needed, BUT, they may also normally be a medic but change to offensive when needed.

 

And btw, the Vulcan example doesn't always apply. Many times, Vulcan healers do go around healing others. 

[prototipe19999 33]

Great , but there no colors 

[VaudeVille 1,428]

I..Medic_Isida :D

[Blackdrakon30 2,943]

Nice article, well done. Some pictures would have been nice, but not a big deal.

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Good article, but I would suggest removing emoticons. They are an easy way out of using rhetoric to convey emotion, and are best used in text-messages.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

im the last typw of Isida :D

 

i go offencive alot while also healing my teammates while im carrying the flag and i support the attackers in CTF

[Defeating_The_Best 34]

There are more types of Isidas, being a base medic myself for CTFs.

 

1. Flag Carrier's Isida - The Isida that always hangs around with the current flag carrier, usually the one helping them survive mad fights. I've been known to be one.

Usual Hulls: Wasp, Hornet, Hunter, Viking

 

2. Camper Isida - The Isida that always stays in cover, unless a hurt team member rushes by. Usually the wuss Isida.

Usual Hulls: Wasp, Titan

 

3. Frontline Isida - The Isida that stays in the front lines with the attackers. Usually has a D/L of about 0.8 or less, due to needing a light hull to stay in the attacker's groups.

Usual Hulls: Wasp, Hornet

 

4. Base Isida - The Isida that stays in base, healing the garrisoned Shafts, Vulcans and Railguns in the base, while also defending the flag in CTFs. I usually am this type of Isida.

Usual Hulls: Hunter, Viking, Dictator, Titan, Mammoth

 

       4b. Defensive Supremacy Isida - The Isida that heals 4 - 7 Vulcans near the flag in a map. Quite funny, I know. I have a few pictures of that. Basically @ihatepasswordisback's Number 2, but one that is more efficient and useful for some of the team.

Usual Hulls: Hornet

 

LOL.

There are more vulcans than the ones in the image.

 

 

 

5. Flank Isida - Also known as a Suicide Isida, this Isida will run anywhere to heal any teammates. Has the lowest D/L of these types, usually around 0.3 and less, but has a task to just go crazy. Can be useful to other teammates by taking the shots by the enemy while the teammate attacks the enemy. I'm sometimes this type of Isida.

(This type is unanimously the best.)

 

Usual Hulls: Wasp

I'm usually number 3 and 5

[Viking4s 10,791]

[TheRollingSlab 803]

Just got M4 Isida, so hoepfully I'll fall under the "good" isida category :P

[MSI 1,926]

True :D

Pet isida is the type i am XD

Defeating_The_Best: You're the novice here. My D/L is 8.50, yours is 0.04. Being a pet Isida wasn't a good idea after all, was it?

 

The tankiTruth here? tankiIsidas need to be better than this. Do not let the psycho tankiIsidas hunt you down.

 

A psycho tankiIsida usually uses:

tankiIsida (modification is tankiOutdated by 5 tankiRanks or more, for tankiExample being a or tankiHigher with a M0 tankiIsida)

tankiWasp (modification is tankiOutdated by 3 tankiRanks or more, for tankiExample being a or tankiHigher with a M0 tankiWasp)

Black tankiPaint

No tankiProtections

Assault Tank tankiMode: ON
