Spider Tanks Unveils Dragon Cave Arena: A New Battlefield for Tank Olympiad

Spider
Tanks,
a
popular
game
by
Gala
Games,
has
introduced
a
new
arena
called
Dragon
Cave,
enhancing
the
strategic
elements
of
their
Tank
Olympiad
matches.
The
new
battlefield
is
designed
with
symmetry
in
mind,
providing
both
opportunities
and
challenges
for
players,
according
to

Gala
News.

Know
Your
Battlefield

Dragon
Cave
boasts
a
symmetrical
layout,
which
is
a
rarity
among
arenas.
This
symmetry
can
be
advantageous
for
maintaining
strategy
on
the
move
but
can
also
pose
coordination
issues
for
teams.
A
split
decision
between
two
Tank
Pilots
could
lead
to
easy
pincer
attacks
from
enemies.

The
arena
features
four
repair
kits
placed
at
regular
intervals
around
the
central
ring.
The
battlefield
is
divided
into
four
distinct
areas,
each
repeated
four
times
in
a
circular
pattern,
adding
layers
of
strategic
depth
to
the
gameplay.

Area
1:
Satellites

These
four
circles
on
the
very
exterior
of
Dragon
Cave
serve
as
redoubts
when
in
trouble
or
regrouping
points.
However,
they
can
also
be
traps,
as
they
have
three
angles
of
attack
clearly
pointed
at
them.
Players
using
shorter-range
weapons
are
advised
to
avoid
these
areas.
In
the
Chicken
Chaser
mode,
these
areas
are
crucial
as
birds
often
get
stranded
here,
overlooked
by
other
players.

Area
2:
Roundabout
Pullovers

Located
between
and
just
inside
Area
1’s
circles,
these
areas
are
more
congested
and
wide
open.
They
are
critical
for
maneuvering
through
the
arena
but
can
be
dangerous
if
players
linger
in
the
middle.
These
areas
offer
strategic
advantages
for
staging
attacks
and
pulling
enemies,
making
them
essential
for
tactical
play.

Area
3:
The
Chasm
Gap

These
small
strips
between
lava
chasms
are
vital
for
arena
dominance.
Protected
by
narrow
fences,
they
offer
a
decent
amount
of
cover
despite
being
in
the
middle
of
the
action.
These
areas
can
shift
quickly
from
contested
zones
to
defensive
bulwarks,
depending
on
the
flow
of
the
battle.
The
Command
Point
in
the
King
of
the
Hill
mode
spawns
in
the
northmost
part
of
these
areas,
adding
to
their
strategic
importance.

Area
4:
The
Inner
Circle

Although
theoretically
the
most
exposed
area,
the
inner
circle
enjoys
incredible
cover
from
the
ancient
dragon
statue
overhead.
Hugging
the
walls
provides
protection
against
half
the
map
and
allows
for
quick
repositioning.
In
the
Poultry
Pusher
mode,
this
area
often
becomes
the
most
violent,
but
it
remains
a
strong
angle
of
attack
in
other
game
modes
as
well.

Dragon
Cave
Best
Practices

Cover
Isn’t
Always
Reliable

The
large
pillars
on
the
outside
corners
of
the
south
and
west
Area
2s
can
be
easily
shot
around
from
adjacent
areas.
Even
the
cover
provided
by
the
dragon
statue
can
be
compromised
if
an
enemy
moves
perpendicularly.
Players
need
to
be
aware
of
these
vulnerabilities
when
using
cover.

Enemies
Approach
Quickly

Due
to
the
many
winding
paths
across
the
relatively
small
battlefield,
enemies
can
approach
quickly,
even
with
slow
tanks.
The
8-second
respawn
timer
may
be
all
the
delay
players
get
before
an
enemy
is
back
in
the
fight,
making
quick
reactions
essential.

Mind
the
Enemy’s
Weapons

The
narrow
cover
in
Dragon
Cave
makes
it
essential
to
understand
the
weapons
opponents
are
using.
Artillery
can
follow
players
anywhere
in
the
arena,
and
melee
weapons
have
little
ground
to
cover
before
they
can
engage.
Players
must
adapt
their
strategies
based
on
the
weapons
their
enemies
are
wielding.

Glorious
Battle

Despite
its
simple
layout,
Dragon
Cave
offers
complex
nuances
in
positioning,
making
it
a
challenging
and
exciting
addition
to
Spider
Tanks.
The
arena’s
design
encourages
strategic
thinking
and
quick
reflexes,
promising
intense
battles
for
Tank
Olympiad
participants.
