So: Two more new classes today.
A currently unnamed upgrade of the Flank Guard that I will be calling the Auto-Triplet for the sake of the post, and its upgrade, and the Auto Tank.
The Auto-Triplet is a level thirty upgrade with three auto-cannons placed on it. It is worth noting that it can upgrade into both the Auto-Gunner and the Auto Tank.
The Auto Tank is a level 45 upgrade with five auto-cannons.

I am glad to say they changed the auto-cannons from earlier.
They now also shoot shapes and pink drones. (which can be rather annoying to lower level players farming near one)
They seem to be slightly more accurate.
You can now override them and aim voluntarily. (kinda)

Overall, I think they made the Auto Tank a lot better, despite it still being pretty skilless.

Sadly, I didn't have a long time to play so I just joined a Domination match to test it. I did get to 45 and was able to play the tank for ten minutes or so, but I haven't tried it more aggressively in FFA or TDM yet. Thus, I am yet to give it a rating.

 

they made it so that if you aim it, 2 cannons will always shoot at where you are pointing, and the other 3 will be active if anything is nearby in their FOV.

 

That's what I meant by

 

I've been playing around lately with the Auto 5.

The auto-firing aspect, to me, is only really useful for harvesting shapes and picking off low-leveled tanks. You can also click and hold to direct a few of your barrels towards a certain target. Other than that, one of its main flaws is just how slow it is. This allowed me to almost be killed by an Octotank several times. Another thing to note is that it's hopeless against sniper-tanks. It can't outmaneuver or penetrate the bullets in time.

6.5/10

 

Well, smasher had a buff...
Now, all smasher classes can get up to TEN points in each stat.

RIP Booster as ram tank ;-;

 

booster is still faster.

 

Yeah, but with the possibility that smashers may now have more hp and body damage, it means ramming is now a lot more risky,

 

Oh, look! It shows tank icons next to one's name on the Scoreboard now! Could be a lot higher-res, though.

 

in case you wondered why anyone would use their points on bullet speed when they're a trapper

Spoiler

 

Thats so cool bro!

 

So they have added two new classes today, Streamliner and Spread Shot. I will be covering the Streamliner first.


The Streamliner upgrades from both Hunter and Gunner at level 45. It has five accurate but less powerful guns that fire rapidly.

Basically its a Sniper class but spammy, or perhaps, a Machine Gun class but accurate. I think its pretty good for penetrating other spam classes, and also for killing Sniper classes. Overall I think it has a good balance, but that's just my opinion.

 

Interesting. You can now hit "Y" while ingame to pull up this full class tree. I have already memorized this, but it could be helpful to newer players.

 

There's not too much to be said about the Auto Trapper, just a Trapper with an auto-gun on top. It's also worth noting that it doesn't aim at shapes or pink triangle-drones, only players. One of the worst Trapper classes next to the Overtrapper.

6.5/10

 

I

I personally think the extra ranged attack could provide an advantage that other trappers do not have. Definately not as good as the Gunner Trapper, but I think some offensive ability is better than none, and for that reason I think it will work better than Tri Trapper and Overtrapper if you want to get kills.

 

May I also mention that the auto-gun's penetration is in the crapper?



Also, there was something else added alongside the Streamliner.



The Spread Shot spits out a cascade of one large bullet followed by five smaller bullets on each side. It also has a surprising level of damage and penetration. To me, it seems like it's more focused on wide-area cover than the Penta Shot, which is more concerned with damage. But is it better than the Penta Shot? Your call, really. But I love it.

8.6/10

Oh yeah, by the way, new highscore for Wynncraft! Wooooo!

 

For important tips, also say that you can hit M + a stat number to have the game automatically put points into that stat until it is maxed. For instance, if you are level 4 and hit M + 8, you will increase one point in Movement Speed until you reach level eleven, when you will have all seven points in Movement Speed. Pressing M alone stops a stat from being maximized.

________________________________

I would also like to note that I came across a strange occurrence today. It was a pink triangle about the size of a level 45 player, and it had a drone spawned on the back which spat out the smaller pink triangles. Sadly, I couldn't get a screenshot, but I'll try to find one tomorrow.

 

Thank you. I've added that to the original post.

 

Yes. That's what it was.

 

Two things happened today:
1. My Personal Highscore of just over 430k with a 57700077 Booster in FFA!

2. I encountered another "Miniboss," this time with a screenshot!

This one seems to spawn in square drones in waves. Sadly, I didn't get the kill, but it took a while for the nearby players to kill it while I kited the drones.
