ST-II

## Appearance

Being an HD tank, it has a futuristic look, specifically that of a generic tank, bearing two cannons. The visible circle in the center of the tank represents the hitbox, which is helpful for both new and higher-level players. It has a bluish cannon with red striped lasers (on the body of the tank) and also wheels on the front side, to the sides of the cannons.

## Technical

ST-II has low reload and decent speed as well as the normal health. Its bullets are usually fast and can be shot through the corner of walls with enough precision. Its bullets do massive damage and almost always one hit a player. You need a lot of ram investment or a lot of health to be able to survive an ST-II bullet, let alone have enough to survive another. No tank can really take 3 hits of a Bullet build ST-II .

## Playstyle

ST-II is one of the main one shot tanks, along with Electro Ring. It has a low reload, high bullet damage, and a high bullet speed. The ST-II bullets are very narrow/thin. Thus, you need to be able to aim well to be good with this tank, unlike its counterpart, Electro Ring. It often may use its recoil to get around or dodge attacks. It is weak to high damaging, high reload tanks like Hellgate, drone tanks like Summoner, and tanks like BoosterX. It is also weak to tanks that can cancel out its bullets and shoot another one sooner than it can (Mainly Electro Ring) and it especially struggles with tanks that can do the above, but still have its bullet keep going (Once Again Mainly Electro Ring but also ST-II). Despite all of this, it still remains one of the best and most used tanks in the Game.

## Abilities

## History

The St-II can grant you very high scores, but also doesn't take much skill, so, many people used it. Some people with actual skill are scary though and you need to be a blackhole or warper to kill them, but that might result with a ban for "hunting".

Famously, on May 26th, 2020, a well-known player by the name of Mr. Zhou utilized the St-II to achieve the second ever legitimate 5mil+ score in FFA, though because of the former ratio rules, it should've only been counted as 4.73mil. A miscalculation was made, and for a long time it was considered 4.58mil. Interestingly, this score was gotten almost exactly 100 minutes after Danger ceased the former St-II world record, at 2.03mil. In addition, both scores had almost the exact same number of kills, at the time, though this was to change when bosses started being counted as two kills each.

The next big happening to due with the St-II was the re-arrival of Darkstalker, an old-time player that took a long break from the game. One of the biggest scores he submitted was a 13mil St-II, that was ratio-ed down to 9.08mil. The 10mil denial was brought down on the 17th of March, 2021, late at night. Unwavered by this disappointment, Darkstalker attempted, yet again, the first ever 10mil score in FFA. . .

But he was beaten to it! A highly-skilled player by the official name of spank, that in addition goes by many other nicknames such as IB, GG Gaming, the list goes on, fought his way through hunting AWM-S', to obtain the first ever legitimate 10mil+ score in FFA Fantasy, using the St-II. In fact, he got 11mil, not just 10mil, but Darkstalker would not be beaten so easily . . .
