USING BOOSTER CLASSES AS A RAMMER

Booster and Fighter classes in Diep.io are one of the fastest possible tanks that can be made. But leveling all the way up is a tough job to accomplish. One can use these as Shooters or Rammers. But I prefer them as Rammers due to their speed and the push generated by the four back cannons allowing to get near the enemy.

CONFIGURATION

To reach Booster Class you need to select the following Class Upgrades at Level 15, 30 and 45.


I have used specifically Boosters in two configurations to be used as a Rammer. These are given below.


I prefer the first one as you will be able kill nearly all Rammers if they have even a bit less health.

PROS

  1. This is one of the UNDYING TANKS if you play it smart being aware of the surrounding players.
  2. You will be able to kill Landmines and Similar classes if they have less health. Otherwise avoid them.
  3. Both configurations are helpful in killing all the shooters except Penta-Shots and Spread-Shots
  4. You can even. You can even kill Destroyers, Hybrids and Annihilators if you time your attack carefully. It advisable to stay of them though.

CONS

  1. One of the cons of this configuration is the Slow Points Gain. So it is very tiring to get to the top. Generally it takes about 10-15 mins to get fully upgraded.
  2. One of the ways you could get killed is it you hit another Rammer class and it has higher health than you.
  3. You could get killed if you get caught among the bullet fire by various tanks or are trapped by drones of Overlord or Necromancer. You are more likely to be killed by a Necromancer. Hence proceed with caution.
  4. Lastly you might also get killed by Trappers and thus you must try to avoid them. You could kill one if he/she is unaware.
