 Ranger

Ranger builds center around ranged petals, and fighting from a distance. While these petals can struggle to kill other florrs, they excel at farming bugs.

### **Pea Pod**

   **''Can't touch this!''**

* **Petals Used:** All regular peas or better peas

* **How it works:** Even strong builds have trouble getting close to you with the 20 or so peas you spit out!

* **Strengths:** Most melee builds have massive trouble getting close to you do any damage.

* **Weaknesses:** Powerful ranged builds and melee builds with a lot of durable and/or healing petals can be a problem...

* **How to get:** Just farm centipedes for all eternity.

* **Variations:** Replace peas with pollen.

* **Note:** Very sorry if this is a copy i have not read all of the builds

### **Missile Shooter**

***"Wait, they added tanks too?"***

* **Petals Used-** 8 Missile
* **How it works-** This is mainly a farming build, but can be used in PvP (not that good though). The eight missiles are bound to hit many targets, so when swarmed, this build is kinda good. Just make sure to have a Rose or two when low on health.
* **Strengths and Weaknesses-** Very good for farming creatures, against a swarm of hornets, and being surrounded. Against weak petal players, this is actually good, as the shots can penetrate through those. Current builds this is good against (sort of)- The Blanket Fort, The Demon, the Virus, and the Death Wheel (Maybe?). Just make sure to keep your distance. Against those with tanky petals (Heavy/Rock/Heaviest), this build is terrible and you should try to escape. This will work against the Quick-Ripper Build if you stay at a distance. Otherwise, you're likely (I mean instantly) dead.
* **How to get-** Farm Cactus, Hornets, or any other creature that drops Missile
* **Variations-** Replace a few missiles with Triplet/Twin/Pollen, and your shots will be closer together. This build is similar to the Shotgun Build. NOTE- This is a reference to the Octo Tank in Diep.io

### **The Shotgun**

***"Boom, you're dead!"***

* **Petals used:** Twins/Triplets/Pollen, Missiles

* **How it works:** This build exploits the larger hitboxes of twins, triplets, and pollen. For example, a twin petal has the hitbox of two fast petals, and a triplet has the hitbox of three. If you replace your twins/triplets/pollen with basic petals and have all the other slots be missiles, you will see that the missiles spread out very far. However, if you have twins/triplets/pollen instead of basic petals, the missiles will be crammed together and will not spread out as much. You can use this principle to make your missiles shoot to a smaller area.
* **How to get it:** When you spawn, kill bees, baby ants and ladybugs to get twins, fast, and rose. Then, you gradually replace all your fast petals with twins, and then triplets/pollen (your choice). You will notice that you are cramming your petals so that the distance between them is smaller and smaller. Then, you replace any number (3 is what I go for) of your twins/triplets/pollen with missiles. As mentioned in the How it works section, the missiles will get crammed together, making a sort of more efficient shotgun .
* **Variations:** You can replace the missiles with dandelions, webs (both kinds), or bubbles. They will all work the same way, except for the fact that the bubbles will give you thrust instead of a shotgun.
* **Weakness:** I haven't used this build much to know what its weaknesses are, so please enjoy reading this bit of placeholder text for now.
* **PS:** If you use webs instead of missiles, you can try shooting your webs at someone who is being chased by mobs. They get stuck, mobs come in, free loot.

### **The Hornet**

**"How to make players know that you are a hornet and hate you"**

* **Petals used:** Stingers, Missiles, and leave 1 slot for a Bubble.
* **How it works:** Stingers, Missiles damage mobs and players. The bubble will help you catch up to players.
* **Strengths:** Stingers and missiles are a great combination of damaging mobs and players so no one will mess with you.
* **Weaknesses:** Hornets are the only bad thing for this build since they also have missiles but hornets have much higher reload and can sting you to death. Escape with your bubble if you are chased by a hornet swarm with 6 or more hornets.
* **How to get:** In easy, Farm ants for a twin and bees for stingers. Once you have 4 stingers and 1 twin, Go to medium! Farm cacti for a missile. Go to hard zone and farm hornets for a missile and a bubble. Now the build is done!
* **Tip:** Players with any epics/legendaries will hurt you, so escape with your bubble.
* **Variations:** Use wings or roses for surviving hornets in ??? zone if you would like. Also you can use rare/epic roses too. You can also get a heaviest that replaces a missile too.

### **The Pea Shooter**

    ***"I'm not that weak PvZ peashooter that dies to zombies!"***

* **Petals used:** Collect as many Peas (if possible, Legendary variety) as possible. Leave one or two slots for Rose; the other slots are your attacking petals.
* **How it works:** Having a lot of Peas gives you a very good range and increases your chances of hitting players and mobs around you. Peas are good for farming and particularly strong against Hornets due to their range, making this probably the best build for the ??? area of the map. It also has decent crowd control due to being able to hit multiple targets at once.
* **Weaknesses:** This build does not have very high damage per second and is underwhelming in 1v1 combat, where players usually have one or more rose petals and can heal from the small amount of damage this build deals. It is also not the best against beetles, giant beetles, and ants; non-ranged petals are preferable in that case since beetles cannot attack you from a distance but can shield other mobs from attack.
* **Variation:** replace one (or two, if you are above level 45) of your Peas petals with either Triplet or Pollen (or even Stinger, if neither of the two is available) to strengthen your short-range attack and make it easier to deal with beetles, ants, and other players. **Poison Cactus** can also deal with this problem pretty well, making you dangerous to touch while increasing your maximum health. Dandelion, while hard to aim, can take away the other weakness of this build. Rendering other players' roses useless for **10 seconds** can help you chunk them out more, and leaving them in a tight situation. This works especially well with epic peas since they won't be able to heal from poison damage dealt to them. Having a Bubble or two in the early-mid difficulty can increase your escape potential, and reposition yourself for a good attack

### **Lord of the Flies**

"***My minions, I love them"***

* **Petals Used:** Collect as many Eggs as possible. Leave one slot for Rose (Epic if you can).
* **How it works:** When attacking other mobs or players, your eggs (ant or beetle) will rush up to them to kill them. Once you gathered enough, you're basically impenetrable. Your opponent will kill your minions, but more will continue to spawn. If you get hit, you have a **rose** to heal you back up. This makes it fairly easy to get to the ??? zone. For the mobs, they will target onto you, while letting your minions attack them. Make sure you kill massive beetles and ant queens since you're going to need lots of eggs.
* **Weaknesses:** This build is bad when fighting multiple enemies (like a swarm of hornets) at a time. Also, be careful of players with triplets and fasters because they will quickly wreck you. If you're unlucky and don't get much eggs, you're going to suffer from the hornets and other players, so I recommend getting stingers first to actually be prepared of anything that attacks you.
* **Variations**: You can switch an egg to a bubble so you can avoid hornet swarms quickly. You can also switch an egg to a second rose, so you can take more hits. Other than that, it's up to you to switch petals whatever you want.

### **The Egg-Eontologist**

***"Afk and win anyways"***

**Petals used:** 3 Eggs, 1 Egg (Legendary), 1 Faster, 1 Stinger (Legendary), and 2 Roses (Epic)

**How it works:** Be afk and annoy people who can't kill you. Move every 30 seconds to avoid disconnection.

**Strengths:** Trolling people

**Weaknesses:** Hornets! Cornets! Tornets!

**How to get:** Don't even try to get it... just cry. :P It will take you so lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.........................................................

**Dev's Note:** Yes you can, from antholes, massive beetles and dark ladybugs.

**Variations:** N/A

### **Diep.io: The Overseer**

* **Petals Used:** Egg(Legendary), Antennae, Triplet, Rose(Epic), Egg(Legendary), Stinger(Legendary), Triplet, Rose(Epic). Keep a bubble in inventory.
* **How it works:** The antennae increase your FoV. The Legendary Eggs are great for fending off players and mobs, flanked by your Legendary Stinger and Triplets. Use bubble to get away.
* **Weaknesses:** Little defense, so it is easily overwhelmed by teams/hornets.
* **How to get:** Do NOT farm mobs! Instead, kill players for loot.
* **Tip:** Use this build in conjunction with another, swapping into your secondary build when on low morale.

### **The Impairer**

    "***An iris upgrade"***

* **Petals Used**: Rose/Rose/Web/Dandelion/Missile/Stinger/Iris/Stinger
* **How it works:** The dandelion stops the target healing, and the iris poisons them to deal a lot of damage. The web can get the enemy stuck too, allowing you to get close and hit with the Stingers. The missile is just in case you miss with Dandelion. You can keep a bubble in your inventory and replace the web with it if you want to get closer. Also, swap out the Dandelion for a Stinger when farming as it is very ineffective against mobs because they don't heal. The petals can be replaced by better versions of themselves, e.g. Stinger (Legendary) and Roses (Epic). Do not use epic cactuses instead of irises as they do a lot less damage, instead, they are effective in increasing your health.
* **How to get:** In the easy base, farm bees for Stingers, and ladybugs for two roses. Once you have ventured into the medium base, you can destroy cacti for missiles (, stingers if you still need some) and farm beetles for irises. In the hard base, farm hornets for dandelions and missiles and kill spiders for the webs. Now all you need to do is upgrade to better versions of these petals.
* **Strengths:** This build is good against players with weak defense/low in hp, or people who are trying to chase you, as many players are scared off after being hit with a dandelion. Webs can also help with this.

### **Shotgun II**

***"boom"***

* **Petals Used:** Missile/Missile/Missile/Missile/Bubble/Bubble/Rose(Any)/[rose or missile]
* **How it works:** This build is centered around a weird exploit with the Bubble (credits to the florr 'gun.') Wait until the bubbles are facing forward, then bubble and fire the missiles at the same time. You should end up with a wall of missiles flying forwards.
* **Strengths:** Low-health players and mobs.
* **Weaknesses:** Hornets get jealous fast. Most players will also not be afraid.
* **How to get:** SLAY LE HORNET (ladybug will work too)
* **Variations:** Dandelion, obviously.

### **Quad-blossom**

* **Petals Used:** Missile/Pollen/Missile/Dandelion/Missile/Peas (Epic)/Missile/Cactus (Epic)
* **How it works:** This build is for attacking players in various ways but still centers on ranged attack.
* **Strengths:** Groups of players/mobs
* **Weaknesses:** Rammers.
* **How to get:** Ram players to get their loot.
* **Variations:** The cactus can be replaced by a Rose (Epic).

### The Fortress

* **Petals Used:** Rock/Rock/Rock/Missile/Missile/Rock/Rock/Rock
* **How it Works** It is a blend between a ranged and tank build. The rocks are for defense, while the missiles are for attack.
* **Strengths** Keep your distance so you have your defenses. It is good against mobs, as the missile's high attack does that. It is good against tanks, Rammers and deathwheels that are far away.
* **Weaknesses** It is weak agianst rammers and deathwheels from up close, as they can shred your defenses. It is also bad against spam-ranged builds, as they can remove your defense.
* **Variations** It has 3 variations. With an odd number of petals, you can do an odd number of missile's.

You can also replace the rocks with heavys, heaviests, or corn. That is if you want to use it as defense, but if you want attack, replace the rocks with iris(es).
.

### **salad**

***"e"***

* **Petals Used:** Peas/Peas/Peas/Peas/Leaf/Leaf/Leaf/Faster, keep a bubble and rose in inventory
* **How it works:** The peas are good for dealing with enemies, and the leaves can heal, kill mobs, and destroy other people's petals. The faster increases the damage dealt by the leaves. When you are low, switch a peas with your rose, and if switch one of your peas with a bubble if somebody is chasing you
* **Strengths:** dealing with mobs
* **Weaknesses:** fighting players
* **How to get:** kill centipedes, and try to kill anthills to get a faster
* **Note:** this build is much more effective if you have an epic peas. I normally use this build when I get an epic peas in the easy zone.

### The One-Way Road

### **Classic Triple shot**

**"May be the worst tank in diep.io but at least its better than a twin in florr.io"**

* **Petals used:** cactus/yucca/cactus/yucca/cactus/missile/missile/missile
* **How it works:** keep defending then you revolve around until its the right time to shoot
* **Strengths:** soil builds, grape builds, rammers (some), full glass builds (some), the shotgun
* **Weaknesses:** the arsenal, poison builds
* **How to get:** farm on garden to get missiles from hornets, farm on dessert to get both cactus and yucca
