How To Tanki Online, 2021 edition

[die3458 53]

Welcome to my guide to TO

Disclaimer- this was partially made to poke fun at the game balance, don't chew me out in comments for saying your favorite turret is bad

How to start

there are two ways you can start tonki. the first is to go down the path of the F2P

being a f2p player. there is 1 piece of advice. grind. the rest is up to your container luck.

as a p2w player, just buy 300 ultras and your all set!

 

Hull advice

hulls to use-hopper

why hopper? hopper is super op hull. it's overdrive is broken, and can even rudely catch gold boxes in midair! however, it's movement really seals the deal. it has a incredible way of movement.

all of the light hulls are good, hopper is best, but what is the worst? hornet. hornet is literally only good at one thing. killing titans. it is pretty much outclassed by wasp in every regard. this used to be the best light hull, but no longer is.

Medium hull-

Dictator and viking are both insane hulls. viking is a frontline attacker, while dictatior is the medic. dicator is also good for farming XP with mechanic and isiada. viking pairs well with hammer, and will utterly annihiliate juggernauts.

heavy hull-titan

This used to be the worst heavy hull before overdrives. it is literally broken now. it sets down a shield and the only thing that can kill you is someone with wasp or hornet. otherwise, you are literally immortal for 10 or so seconds.

 

Weapon Advice

melee range turrets

all of these are great, but isiada is the worst. it is a healer weapon 'nuff said freeze and firebird are broken, but freeze reqires you to do laps around your opponent.

short range turrets

While Twins and ricochet aren't bad picks, hammer reings supreme. hammer was recently buffed to a incredible 4 second reload. it's clip has 3+2 if you have a augument. pairs well with viking overdrive

Medium range turrets

The only viable medium range turret i can think of is the thunder. in lower ranks it is a beast. in higer ranks youll be doing half of your damage half the time because a lot of people run protection against thunder

Long range turrets

use gauss. its broken. use it. get emp salvo if you want. 'nuff said

 

What to avoid

I'm gonna get so much hate for this

avoid railgun. gauss outclasses. if you get used to it, in higher ranks, youll be doin half your damage.

avoud striker. a fun turret, but it is made obsolete by gauss.

avoid hopper in gold boxes unless you want people hating on you in chat

 

and that is my quick guide to TO in 2021

Any guide that doesn't recommend doing RTL with Mammoth Isida Mk1 is a bad guide.

Lol how was it the worst?
Before overdrives, Titan and Mammoth had the same health, but Titan was faster and more agile.

Just before overdrives they had the same statistics in speed and armor (for m3 and 4 at least), they only differed from weight, power and turning speed ig .
