Wombat

Wombats are a marsupial build found in the Australian servers. This build is known or its ability to burrow. It is part of the same guild that includes Koalas, Kangaroos, and the largest Marsupial build ever, the Diprotodon. The order Diprotodontia, in fact, is given its namesake by a close relative of playable builds, the Diprotodon.

## Overview

While the common wombat is solitary, other wombat builds are social builds. Its high weight gives it decent Health. Surprisingly, it has a deceivingly high Stealth stat due to an unorthodox form of camouflage shared by all Australian builds. Its rear is really thick, but ONLY the rear, so it only has slightly below-average Defense. Surprisingly, its bum is able to crush any potential ganker, thus having a deceptivly high Power stat. Lastly, it also is surprisingly mobile for a build known to have a heavy body.

## Moveset

**Super Fang (Passive, Utility)**- [Bite] attack deals inccreased dmage to structures.

**Burrow (Active, Utilty)**-Allows you to make hiding spots or body players undergound.

**Iron Butt (Passive, Defense)**- Rear of build cannot take any damage.

**Trapdoor Slam (Active, Attack)**- A Grappler attack with the rear that can deal considerable damage.

## Tier Placement

The wombat falls in B-tier. It has almost no ability if spotted while not burrowing. Its main attack, [Trapdoor Slam], works because it is a build usually relies on burrowing. While it has some gankers like Foxes, Dingoes and Wild Dogs, It can take most of these down. However, it has to in its burrowing position to attack, otherwise it is complerely defenseless. This keeps it from becoming top-tier.
