Game plan

Trunk is a tank who spins after a short delay, damaging everything around them and leaving ants that give them speed and damage. Their Super is a dash that also leaves ants behind. They charge the Super from damage taken and get stronger standing on their own ant trails.

  1. Fight on top of your ants. They give you speed and damage.
  2. Dash with your Super to lay ants along the path into the enemy.
  3. Time the spin. It hits after a short delay, so start it before the enemy is in range.
