Synope

**Synope** is a Celestial Tier 2 upgrade utilizing 3 minion launchers. It is the upgraded version of Satellite.

## Technical/Design

**Synope** is equipped with 3 large minion spawners. It's minions have a turret, and 3 drone spawners each. They spawn a further 3 small drones. The smaller drones are as weak an a small Moon drone. The bullets that were shot by each minion turret is very weak, thus only the minions themselves are effective. Their ram is strong, but the reload rate of the Synope is extremely slow.

## Strategy

### As a Synope

Synope is one of the Celestial upgrades that is good at attacking, but terrible at defending. Your minions are fragile, and your reload is very slow, so you must be careful to not lost any of your minions. You can go to your teammates to their protection, but if you wanted to play alone, these three celestial upgrades,Void, Meteor and Galaxy will help you very well, Be wary of Marksman players and Amalgam-Riot players though, they will **kill** you easily.

* If you're a Void,your defense is greatly increased, With the Void's health been **higher** than Ziggurat,and rams **better** than Saw,rammers almost can't touch you. If they try, however, they will die to your massive health. Be wary, as Marksmans are still effective against you.

* If you're a Meteor,you can also use your aura to farm shapes, but the most effective thing to do with it is to assist your teammates. Other players,even low-level Amalgam-Riot players will be afraid to kill you. However the threat of snipers still exists.

* If you're a Galaxy the only thing needed to do now is to keep override off. Your many auto-turrets may weaken, or even kill enemy players. Now Marksman classes are no longer killing you easily, as your auto-turrets can block their projectiles.

### Against a Synope

Despite it's minion's appearance, and the many drones that the small minions can spawn, Synope is actually one of the weakest Celestial upgrades and one of the easiest to kill. Many tanks can kill it, but the most effective ones are Amalgam,Riot,Marksman,Wave and Disperse. If you pick any of these, combined with their most fitting body upgrades, the Synope is helpless.

* If you're an Amalgam or Riot,your traps (and amalgam's bullets and drones) will destroy Synope's minions, their drones and their bullets. If you are high-leveled, you can use a further Inferno,Bastion,Battalion to render the Synope helpless, and it will die alone. If it's with it's teammates, you will also need your own teammates to kill it,

* If you're a Marksman,you can use Saw,Mothership,Bombard to slowly snipe the Synope. It cannot reach far enough to kill you, so stay very far from it, and, at the same time, shoot at it. The Synope will have no way to defend against you, and will die shortly. If it had teammates, you must find a weakness to their defenses.

* If you're a Wave,then it is so much easier to kill it. Since the Synope is not fast (unless it's using Comet),you will need Saw,Mothership or Battalion to catch up to it, When you got close to it, use your back cannons. With it's firepower, the Synope will have no way to defend against your strong traps, and it will die helplessly if you're fast.

* If you're a Disperse,then your bullet spam is nigh-impenetrable to it. If you combine it with Saw,Bastion,Battalion,then the Synope, again, will have almost no way of killing you. Even if it attacks you in all directions, use your Disperse bullets and shoot at every direction the Synope pulls it's minions to attack you. Then go on and finish the Synope.

### Matchups

* **Strong Against:**Slow tanks,Healing users,Ziggurat.
* **Goes Well With:**Alpha,Engineer-classes when outside of their Pillbox FoV.
* **Weak Against:**Fast Marksman,Inferno,Amalgam,Riot,Wave,Disperse.

### Build Advice

* Void.It greatly increased your health and body damage, making you last significantly longer.
* Meteor.You wanted to defend yourself from rammers, but you also had the auras. It can be use to support your teammates, or as an anti-ram upgrade.
* Autocannon body upgrades like Galaxy/Pollux are good because they can increase your defense. Galaxy makes it easy to kill tanks that swarm around you, while Pollux can outpenetrate low-penetration tanks like Trapper or Mono.Marksman can work, but it is dangerous despite it having a low-pent. bullet.

**Addition To The Strategy: The Drones Have Infinite Follow Range, So Use That in Your Advantage.**
