==Strategies==
===Towers===
Generally, it is best to deal with Tanks as soon as they spawn, as they are near towers and won't affect the main island. While dealing with tanks near towers, lure them into the ground floor of a nearby tower, dodging their shells with either a Speed Coil or a Fusion Coil. After being lured in, hide on the outside of the Tower, as they will keep shooting you there. After each shot, shoot Explosive Cubes or a Bomb Cube under them, and then quickly hide before they shoot again. Repeat this until they are dead. If you do not have any explosive cubes, Throwable Cubes can be a replacement, however using them takes longer to kill the Tank. It is best to do this in a group, as the tank will still get distracted by other people if one person dies.
===Main Island===
If the tank somehow reaches the Main Island (if no one kills its while far away, or the person trying to kill it dies), there are 2 recommended strategies for dealing with them.
====Blocking Strategy====
Hiding behind the furnace/researcher can block incoming tank shells, while also distracting it from the Crystal. This is the safest way to deal with a Tank, although can vary between paths. Have one person distract the tank by hiding behind the furnace/researcher. Once it is done, rush getting Throwable Cubes (or Explosive Cubes) and start throwing it at the Tank. Throw them at the Tank after each shot, as it shot cooldown is relatively long. Repeat this until the Tank is dead. Use the second strategy if it comes from the Southern path.
====Dodging Strategy====
If the tank is coming from a path that doesn't have the Furnace/Researcher nearby, this strategy is completely viable. It can also be used to deal with tanks in general, although a bit of skill is needed to have this work. Have one person get a Speed/Fusion Coil, Red Cube, or a Shield, as they all grant some sort of damage evasion (except the shield tanks it). Next, go near the tank but not so near that it can kill you in an instant, and start jumping and moving side to side. If it is very close to the main island, try leading it away to a tower by doing the same thing except slowly moving back if the Tank follows you. Repeat until other players have the weapons needed or if the Tank is in a tower.
====Newbie Strategy====
Charging at the tank with weapons, while not recommended, could serve as a form of distraction while others get the necessary weapons to defeat the Tank. This strategy may be unpredictable, but can be a last resort if somehow no one is equipped to kill the Tank at spawn. Typically, new players will do this, hence the name "Newbie Strategy". Do not use this as your go-to strategy if the Tank is at the main island, as it requires multiple people, lowering the damage output available. Raiders also pose a slightly bigger threat if the players getting ready are not armored and armed with any swords/clubs.
==Trivia==
*The Tank used to spawn with the Compressor island when it was discovered, however was never brought back after regular Tanks were readded. This may be due to the change in the Explosive Cubes recipe.
*You can farm Cryoide Crystals using the Cryo's Arm to summon Ice Minions and making them attack the Tank.
*Tanks do not spawn in corner towers anymore.
*The tanks were added, then removed, then added, then ceased existence, then added again, then gone, then added, then ceased to exist in only corner towers.
