DEFENSE - Vander & Tony

Tony's turrets are better for defending an area over a long period of time from multiple attackers, due to their higher durability, bottomless magazine, and Tony's ability to repair them.





from multiple attackers, due to their higher durability, bottomless magazine, and Tony's ability to repair them. Vander's tesla coils are better for quickly setting up to stop lone enemies. Their single-use burst damage makes them a cheap yet fragile way to defend the base when you're not around.

Setup & Strategy

The BlockBuster

If you feel that your attackers are competent enough to win the match, or if total base defense matters to you, adefensive duo is the way to go.Vander and Tony are quite similar in playstyle; however, Vander is more, and Tony is built more for. Tony actually has athan Vander in very close combat, but usually, the only situation in which that occurs is when the enemy is already punching in your cube.Both Tony and Vander's Hero blocks (turrets and tesla coils, respectively) have the ability to autonomously attack enemies. There are a few differences between the two, though.In a Tony/Vander situation, tesla coils should be used as ato quickly burst down attackers going for the turrets. Try not to place them to close to the turrets, however, as the coils' explosion upon destruction will Due to their strength, turrets have a, and placing a decent number of them drains Tony of his resources (resources that can be used for placing health and ammo!). Instead, Vander can dedicate his bricks toso that Tony can have a larger brick reserve for turrets.Keep the area around your cube asas possible to maximize the range of Tony's turrets.will help protect your cube and devices from ranged explosives.your cube remains a good strategy, just. Tony's turrets will have their bullets and line of sight blocked, and without a Doc constantly present, reaching enemies that have buried themselves deep is incredibly difficult, if not nearly impossible. As mentioned earlier, Vander should be responsible for a large majority of the team's health and ammo if Tony is present. The more bricks that the Italian construction worker has for auto-aiming, bullet-spitting death machines, the better!Tony canwith his caulk gun. This means that your fragile, slowly dying teslas can now survive much longer! Be sure to ask your Tony to keep an eye on them and heal them when necessary.As Vander, you have aTony doesn't have; try to eliminate or soften enemiesthey reach your cube area. Try to hold theon maps with a lot of high-up structures; buildup to areas where enemies will attack from.On multiple-cube maps, if you've managed to push enemies back to their second of last cube, you can more safely bunker down into kill attackers before they even step foot in your base. Previously mentioned BlockBuster strategies still apply. However, since turrets can leave Tony free for other things, Vander is usually capable of holding down the fort whileAs you're the one with longer range this time around, keep an eye on Tony and chuckat opponents trying to interrupt your team's setup.As usual, using youron clustered enemies and clearing out stragglers from a range helps, but by manipulating enemy movement, you can create an opening for your Tony to sneakily set up a turret at the drop site to mow down unsuspecting foes.Tony can be easily, however, and a BlockBuster attempt can quickly turn sour if he ends up the last Hero remaining.
