Hexadeca

I thought only tienk.io had a hexadeca

Hexadeca is a Tier 5 tank that theoretically upgrades from Octo at level 60.

## **Design/Technical**

**Hexadeca** utilizes 16 thin cannons, with the same design as the now defunct diep.io Mothership (Not to be confused with Mothership, a Tier 4 body upgrade) with real elongated cannons.

## Strategy

### As a Hexadeca

Because the Hexadeca isn't a focused-fire tank and its bullets spread everywhere, distance combat will be hard, so the only way to level up easily is by farming Polygons. Its bullets aren't really good either, they are weaker than a Mono's bullets at the same level. Beware of rammers, drone/minion users, high DPS/RoF tanks, and NPCs like the Abyssling as their superior bullets/body damage can wipe you out.

### Against a Hexadeca

Since as mentioned earlier, the Hexadeca's bullets are weaker than that of a Mono of the same level. With health upgrades, it's possible to survive the spread gunfire of a Hexadeca. It's also easy to dodge its bullets when far away. If you're an Alpha, Gamma, or Beta, go up to the Hexadeca and place traps on it until you are low on health or until the Hexadeca dies. As a Marksman, the most OP weapon in the game, snipe the Hexadeca. If you're a Celestial, it will be easy to defeat the Hexadeca. If you're a Streamliner with a bullet-based build, spam the Hexadeca with bullets. As the Streamliner-Saw, ram the Hexadeca. If it uses Ziggurat, Saw, Inferno, Foundry, or Bastion, max out health stats and body damageAs a Charon, defeat the Hexadeca like you would with an Alpha. As a Synope, use your army of drones and minions to overwhelm the Hexadeca. As a Quasar, go up to it and spam bullets at the Hexadeca until it dies or until you need to escape. As an aura body celestial, like Exosphere, Heliosphere, or Meteor, use your weapon to attack and your aura to aid your weapon.

#### Matchups

* **Strong Against:** Low DPS/RoF tanks
* **Goes Well With:** Alpha, Minigun, Streamliner.
* **Weak Against:** Rammers, Celestials, Focused fire tanks like Streamliner, Sniper-class tanks, aura users like Inferno, Meteor, Heliosphere, and Oumuamua (Coming soon)

#### Build Advice

* Saw makes you faster so you can escape from rammers.
* Bastion gives slightly more HP, and gives you an Artillery-like auto-cannon.
* Ziggurat gives you more hp.
* Inferno can help with grinding and can help against glass cannons and low-health rammers. It can also attack through traps.

## Trivia

* There is already a Hexadeca tank in the unofficial 3D diep.io game, tienk.io
* I realized this when I was writing this (5:41PM 11,30,2022) but, Mono has one cannon, Duo has two, Quad has four, Octo has eight, and **Hexadeca** has sixteen. We multiply the number of cannons by two, so Hexadeca kind of makes more sense than say, Decatank or Dodecatank.
* This is my very first custom tank to be added to the wiki in an article, with its own polls.
