Spider Tanks Introduces Dragon Cave Arena

Gala
Games
has
unveiled
a
new
arena
for
its
popular
game,
Spider
Tanks,
called
Dragon
Cave.
This
arena
is
set
in
the
deep
caves
beneath
the
scorched
surface
of
the
planet
Cacus,
once
home
to
an
ancient
civilization.
The
modern
inhabitants,
known
as
Cusans,
have
repurposed
these
vast
caverns
for
various
uses,
including
the
Tank
Olympiad,
according
to

Gala
News.

Your
Battlefield

Dragon
Cave
is
noted
for
its
symmetrical
layout,
which
provides
both
strategic
advantages
and
challenges.
The
arena
features
four
repair
kits
placed
at
regular
intervals
around
its
central
ring.
This
symmetry
aids
in
maintaining
strategies
on
the
move
but
can
complicate
team
coordination,
potentially
leading
to
pincer
attacks
from
opponents.

Area
1:
Satellites

The
outermost
circles,
known
as
Satellites,
serve
as
both
a
refuge
and
a
potential
trap.
These
areas
are
essential
in
the
Chicken
Chaser
mode
as
birds
often
end
up
here,
overlooked
by
other
players.
However,
the
three
attack
angles
make
them
dangerous
for
players
using
short-range
weapons.

Area
2:
Roundabout
Pullovers

Located
between
and
just
inside
the
Satellite
circles,
Roundabout
Pullovers
are
essential
for
maneuvering
but
also
present
significant
risks.
Standing
in
the
center
exposes
players
to
attacks
from
multiple
angles,
while
the
pillars
at
the
corners
offer
some
cover.
These
areas
are
best
used
for
quick
transitions
and
staging
attacks.

Area
3:
The
Chasm
Gap

The
Chasm
Gap,
the
strips
between
each
lava
chasm,
plays
a
crucial
role
in
arena
dominance.
These
areas
offer
decent
cover
and
can
shift
from
contested
zones
to
defensive
strongholds
depending
on
the
match’s
flow.
The
Command
Point
in
King
of
the
Hill
mode
spawns
in
the
northernmost
Chasm
Gap.

Area
4:
The
Inner
Circle

The
Inner
Circle
is
theoretically
the
most
exposed
area
but
benefits
from
the
cover
provided
by
an
ancient
dragon
statue.
This
area
is
pivotal
in
the
Poultry
Pusher
mode,
and
players
can
quickly
reposition
to
threaten
any
part
of
the
map.

Dragon
Cave
Best
Practices

Cover
Isn’t
Always
Reliable

The
pillars
in
Area
2
may
seem
like
safe
spots,
but
they
can
be
easily
targeted
from
adjacent
areas.
Similarly,
the
cover
in
the
Inner
Circle
can
be
compromised
if
enemies
move
perpendicularly.

Enemies
Approach
Quickly

The
small
battlefield
size
allows
enemies
to
close
in
rapidly,
making
it
crucial
to
stay
alert.
The
8-second
respawn
timer
is
often
the
only
delay
before
an
enemy
is
back
in
the
fight.

Mind
the
Enemy’s
Weapons

The
narrow
cover
in
Dragon
Cave
makes
it
vital
to
consider
the
enemy’s
weapons.
Artillery
can
follow
players
anywhere,
and
melee
weapons
can
close
the
distance
quickly.

Glorious
Battle

While
Dragon
Cave’s
layout
appears
simple,
its
strategic
depth
demands
a
nuanced
understanding
of
positioning.
Gala
Games
encourages
players
to
master
these
intricacies
to
excel
in
the
arena.
Future
updates
promise
more
exciting
features,
including
an
in-depth
look
at
the
Railgun.
