Wally



Wally is a Common tank in Hills of Steel 2.

It resembles a piece of construction equipment, with a yellow chassis and a flashing warning light over the cab.

Primary
Wally's drill causing a small amount of damage over time to any tank in contact with it.

This attack causes the drill to extend out from the tank's body.

Wally is the only tank that can deal damage without attacking; any enemy in contact with the drill takes damage over time. When not actively attacking, Wally deals roughly 50% ofc the damage from it's primary attack.

Special
Wally throws a telescopic wall in a mid-range arc. Wally's special value is the amount of health each wall has. The walls take damage from both friendly and enemy fire and disappear after a set amount of time.

Strategy
With it's high damage output and speed, Wally wants to close with the enemy as quickly as possible, but it does not have nearly enough health to do so safely.

The real strength of this tank is in its ability to tip enemy tanks at awkward angles, allowing it to neutralize their attacks and attack them from safety. Ironically, Wally is also one of the least stable tanks itself and can be quickly destabilized or flipped.

More than any other tank, Wally requires an understanding of the game's physics engine.

Wally's special is not especially potent, but can be used as a defense to delay enemy attacks or as a way to cut off escape. Be mindful of the wall's trajectory and your team's objective so it doesn't become more of a hindrance to your team than a help.

Upgrades
As a melee tank, Wally needs speed and hit points. It might be the best tank to equip Turbo on, if you have it, since you can surge directly from one kill to the next.
