Sinkhole (Fanon)

The Sinkhole is a tier 3 weapon upgrade that branches from the Single.

## Design

The Sinkhole has a singular cannon similar to the Mono, but its cannon features a dark grey color, similar to the Dodecagon.

## Technical

The Sinkhole uses a very unique type of ammunition: Sinkholes.

Sinkholes, if touched, will trap enemies inside of them dealing low but continious damage to them. Sinkholes never move, but they last a decent amount of time which makes the tank relatively powerful. Luckily, this tank has very slow reload.

Due to the sinkholes never moving, upgrading bullet speed will have no effect on them at all.

## Strategy

**Strong against:** Slow tanks and low range tanks in general, unaware rammers
**Goes well with:** Destroyer branch, Tanks with auras, drone classes, more skillful rammers, other Sinkholes.
**Weak against:** Fast tanks, long range tanks, bullet spammers.

### As the Sinkhole

* Always get close to your victim to ensure that you'll trap them easily.
* Use this combination with the Thorn to easily catch up. Damage auras and turrets may add up additional damage to the target while trapped, but it makes you lack the speed.
* You can easily take on rammers, although they will most likely avoid you, so try to pretend not to notice them untl close enough.
* Be cautious of Snipers as they will keep their distance. Try to use an ally to protect you or just run from them. You can try to attack them if you're willing to take a rist, however.
* Avoid groups of bullet spammers. Sinkholes may trap tanks and polygons, but they have no effect on any form of ammunition whatsoever. If you have an Arua based body upgrade, you're practically defenseless against them.

### Against the Sinkhole

* Be careful when attempting to ram, they could use their Sinkholes anytime when close. Try geting them distracted and wait for them to use it on someone else before attacking so you can avoid it. Make use of their slow relaod.
* Attack it from afar using Assassin, preferably combined with Thorn body upgrade.
* Using any kind of spammer is very effective (such as Trio of Barricade) as it makes it harder for them to get to you.
* Damaging aura tanks may also work holding them off, but be careful as some might still take the risk and trap you in their attack as they quickly get out of.
* Using drones is also a way to hold off Sinkholes trapping you, just make sure to have enough drone speed when facing one.

## Trivia

* This is probably the first weapon upgrade that has no effect on other ammunition.
* Its upgrades will have the following differences:
	+ Canyon has larger sinkholes at the cost of its reload. Also upgrades from Destroyer.
	+ Traphole has longer lasting Sinkholes at the cost of its reload.
	+ Rifters have Sinkholes that slowly move, but in return are slightly smaller and have decreased reload. Also upgrades from Engineer.
	+ Flankholes have their sinkhole canons on their backs while a Mono cannon is featured at the front. Also upgrades from Wake.
	+ Erupter blows out traps when creating a sinkhole. Also upgrades from Beta.
	+ Torturer is a Sinkhole with drones. Also upgrades from Compound.
* This might be the **real** trapper.
