The tank launches cannonballs every 5 seconds and is one of the land troops with the most long (5 tiles) fire range.[]
History[]
Last Checked: 2014-07-04
In some days/months before July, 2014, the tank was once said to be a powerful battle machine which
- Launches about 3 cannonballs per second (one shot per 0.3 seconds).
- Is much stronger than a level 10 Oni, slightly stronger than a level 10 Taiho and just as strong as a level 10 Raijin.
- Can blow up things in just seconds.
thus could perform like what the movie describes. However, this description about the power of the tank has been out-of-date.
Advantages[]

- Crushes walls instantly so they don't have to shoot walls. A tank takes about 5 seconds to crush 1 tile of wall (as revealed by a battle field experiment at 2014-07-05 02 UTC, while a tank crushing a tile of wall having 850-1000 health).
- High health (at least 700)
- Cannot be captured from Pit traps (This has not been tested since 2014-07-04)
- Destroys the trap instantly without losing a tank (This has not been tested since 2014-07-04)
Disadvantages[]
Last Checked: 2014-07-04
- Too Expensive--9000 sushi at least
- Too Large--A tank occupies 20 ships slots thus reduces your army size.
- Gets focused by many towers at once
- They move slow
- attacks the closest building like most troops
- Very low fire rate--Because the tabk fires per 5 seconds, a level 1 tank afflicts 10.1 damage per second which is a rate less than a level 3 kunai tower can do.
- Can not be healed by a healer but a healer does fire her healing shots onto the tank--This is observed twice in 2014-07-04. This not only cause the tank to be weak but also may distract healers from healing other troops.
