Turning Strange(Fanon)

Turning Strange is a fanon gamemode based purely on using only a few tanks.

## Overview

The game’s main deal is that every tank ever; and body weapon upgrades have been replaced with just- tanks, in general. They have odd designs with names an average Joe; probably, won’t know the definition of, giving these tanks the title “Weirdoes”. Currently, there are only a few tanks useable, but this will definitely be scaled up as time goes on. Here they are:

## Squarson

The Squarson is a hexagonal tank with 6 drone Spawners and an Auto Tank turret. Due to the drone cannons being smaller than normal, the drones are weaker; but there can be 15 of them. The turret has 4 of it’s own turrets which have 190 degree arcs. This means 3 turrets can be locked on an enemy at once, while the back just… uh, does what it wants.

Defeating a Squarson can be a big challenge, since you can be overthrown by drones whilst there are 3 turrets tracking your every move. To kill it, you will need a tank with good frontal defense, but also one with drones. You may also need to circle around the tank, because the turret targetting in Scenexe is horrible, so the turrets won’t be able to keep up.

Also: The word “squarson” means: “A proprietor-clergyman”.

## Clinophobia

The Clinophobia is a circular tank with 2 Single-like cannons, which here(due to these tanks being heavily based on Woomy Arras Tanks)are known as “Pounder” cannons. It also has a Bateau thruster in the back, which has similar stats to the Machine, just with less damage and more recoil.

The Clinophobia is easy to kill. It has no frontal defense but it has side cannons, meaning it is expected to make a build with a balanced line between ramming and shooting. Though, the 1 thruster sucks anyways, and the side cannons can never face an enemy, so anything can kill it at long as you’re skilled.

The word “clinophobia” means “The fear of going to bed”.

## Astrobleme

The Astrobleme is a circular tank. It has an octagonal shell that is slightly larger than normal ones, which don’t actually occur often. The larger shell means it has more body health; 200(nearly as much as the average Boss health, 250). But it also means it has less speed. The octagonal shell means it can “jump”. This is where it gets a fat push forward, but slows down quick as well, due to the nature of scenexe’s physics.

To defeat an Astrobleme, you must be good at dodging, because the combined factors of good health and jumping(oh and the recoil is 40) can be very detrimental to opposing forces. The Squarson could somewhat easily take it down, due to being ultra stacked.

An Astrobleme is a mark on the earth due to an asteroid.

## Saxatile

The Saxatile is a circular tank with an interesting cannon of the front. The cannon features a rectangle atop a prop drone cannon, with a prop trap cannon on the bottom and a spring green colored prop cannon topping every other cannon. It shoots Trapper-like missiles, except the missiles have the same spring green prop cannons the tank does. The missiles deploy traps that have 2 trap cannons; thus deploying their own traps.

Because of the trap overload, the Saxatile has horrible reload; as does it’s missile cannon. So, as long as you aren’t caught in any of it’s crap, you can kill it.

Saxatile is an adjective describing a rock dweller.

## Phaeton

The Phaeton is a circular tank with 4 unique turrets.

* The front one is a Submachine turret, which has 3 cannons with a cool fire pattern, going in a zigzag-like way.
* The right side one is a Borer turret, which has more Sniper-like stats, but it has 2 thinner cannons. It also has an increased FoV.
* The back one is a Punt Gun turret, with a more stacked setup.
* The one on the left is a Dropship turret, shooting teardrop-like bullets with a strange zigzag movement pattern. They also leave trails which don’t do much damage, but still hurt. This one also has an increased FoV.

Due to the insanely varying stats for each turret, and the fact this tank doesn’t have auto spin, it can be pain to deal with this thing. I’m not suggesting ways to combat these tanks anymore, figure them out yourself.

A Phaeton is “a light, open four-wheeled horse pulled carriage”.

## Kyphosis

The Kyphosis is a donut shaped tank with an average sized smasher shell. It has a “ring” with 2 shields that deflect anything that rams them. It also has a “radar” in it’s donut hole. The radar allows it to supposedly “see invisible tanks”.

This tank has amazing ramming stats, the ability to see invis players, AND shields which can block incoming bullets. This makes it very hard to deal with a Kyphosis. Tanks with drones are preferred, as the shield ring is on an un-anchored arc, meaning it can’t stop spinning one way, no matter where the Kyphosis is actually facing. Since invisibility isn’t in Scenexe, it’s second ability is useless, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Kyphosis is an abnormal curving of the spinal cord.

## Whinyard

The Whinyard is a circular tank with a basic cannon in front, 2 regular thrusters on the back, and 2 lances to the sides. The lances are slightly smaller than most.

Whinyards are easy to deal with. They can be handled if the user can dodge. Also the lances are too short to usually do anything.

A whinyard is some sort of short sword.

## Vivency

The Vivency is a circular tank. It has a Flare Gun cannon in front, which spews a bunch of cubic projectiles. They don’t last that long, but the cannon has insanely low reload time. In the back, it has a Dropship build, which is exactly like the Phaeton’s Dropship turret in terms of stats, functions and design.

The Vivency can be a problem due to the varying strategies needed for it; the Vivency can switch between using it’s Dropship cannons and Flare Gun cannon.

Vivency is a manifestation of physical/mental energy.

## Judder

The Judder is a circular tank. It shoots a cluster of 7 bullets in front; at a Machine Gun-like rate. It also has propeller blades, so it is like a helicopter. If it were available in Scenexe, it would be able to fly over rifts, wormholes and crossroad walls. Also once it starts moving, it can’t stop.

The Judder can fly over people and fire powerul shots; 7. Though it has machine gun/pounder reload, it still has a low reload time, so certain stuff can kill it.

A Judder is a vibration in a helicopter.

## Devaller

The Devaller is a circular tank with low damage but high penetration and lifetime bullets in the front. It has 2 fat thrusters in the back, which do more damage than most thrusters, and thrust more.

The Devaller can be dealt with effectively. I don’t think I’m doing these strategies.

To devall is to descend. This should’ve been an Ascender-like tank.

## Vitalist

The Vitalist is a circular tank. It is basically just a thick stacked Dropship.

A vitalist is someone who believes there is some sort of vitality behind life itself.

## Eumoireity

The Eumoireity is a circular tank. It has a “scissors” build. The scissors can quickly kill anyone or thing they touch. They have the cool ability to open when the user starts firing. These blades open to Dropship cannons. They are hidden under the blades when the tank isn’t firing.

Eumoireity is happiness due to innocence.

## Nephograph

The Nephograph is a circular tank. It is like the Judder but without the helicopter physiology. Now it fires bullets with cannons on the back pushing them forward, known as missiles.

A nephograph is a device for measuring cloud movement.

## Geofact

The Geofact is a circular tank. It uses a cannon in front with combined stats of the Sniper and Destroyer. It also has 3 regular cannons in the back, only difference being they’re shorter.

A Geofact is a naturally occurring mineral that looks manmade, in the sense of sculpted.

## Jiboya

The Jiboya is a circular tank. It has a unique cannon that fires unique missiles. The missiles have 3 stacked cannons and a trapezoidal machine gun-like one that pushes the missile forward. The missiles also have the ability to sidewind when clicking passive mode.

A Jiboya is a type of snake.

## Spiculate

The Spiculate is a circular tank very similar to the Kyphosis, but it loses it’s invisibility sight perk, and replaces it with high body damage output.

Spiculate is an adjective describing something prickly.

## Uranomania

The Uranomania is a cubic tank. It has a SunChip Spawner in front, which spawns drones that explode into the polygon of their shape, in this case being a square. The ring around it symbolizes it can clone itself once. The clone acts like a normal minion.

Uranomania is the obsession with the idea of divinity.

## Xiphoid

The Xiphoid is a Donut shaped tank with a syringe in front. It has a unique cannon in the back that shoots healing bullets through the syringe. The healing bullets do no damage to enemies, and they explode into 3 tinier, less effective healing bullets. The donut hole is filled with a yellow substance.

Xiphoid describes something sword-shaped.

## Xograph

The Xograph is a circular tank. In front, it uses a lance with a trapezoid over it. The trapezoid doesn’t affect the lance’s stats. When firing, the tank itself does a 180 turn, so that it can use it’s back cannon. The back cannon fires 5 bullets with varying speed, low recoil and damage. The Lance still works in the shooting phase.

A xograph is a printer but it prints 3D shapes.

## Scopophobia

The Scopophobia is a circular tank. It has6 stacked cannons in front which fire lasers, thin lines that do little damage. This is indicated because of the red line going over the cannon. It also has a trap launcher in the back; for reasons unknown.

Scopophobia is the fear of being looked at.

## Rhizophagous

The Rhizophagous is a circular tank with a turret that has 3 stacked Machine-Gun-like cannons. The turret has a 180 degree arc.

Rhizophagous describes a creature feeding on roots.

## Falcate

The Falcate is a circular tank with a Clicker cannon in front; like the Xograph’s. It has 2 Nailgun turrets in the back, which Fire fast, high penetration and health but slightly low damage bullets.

Falcate describes something resembling a sickle.

## Terrazzo

The Terrazzo is a nonagonal tank. It has a Dropship-like form, but the bullet’s move tan is more, uh, bent. They move like this:

⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ Instead of ➡️↗️➡️↘️.

Terrazzo is a.l. IDr.
