Try to spread out the health stat points around If you spread them out like 1/2/2/7/7/7/0/7, it should help you survive against pentashots better It's good to have 1 or 2 in health regeneration, 3 is too much Ok so against pentashots you need to be defensive If you aren't attacking you are defending yourself Never attack when the pentashot is facing you What you want to do is wait for them to start chasing you When that happens you go towards them to catch them in your pov and ambush them Or claw them.
It's kind of hard to explain but when you want to claw you spread your drones out and around them So when they get close to you they turn and some drones will be behind them and some will be in front Yeah it's a good strategy against any unfocused bullet spammer Ok now onto focused bullet spammers Pretty easy to handle, just claw them or ambush them like you would do against pentashots or spreadshots Just when they try to shoot at you it's easier to dodge their bullets than a spreadshot or pentashot Also a tip against bullet spammers of any kind is to try not to lose all of your drones in a fight, this can leave you vulnerable to attacks from hybrids or rammers If you see that you lose at least half of your drones, retreat immediately and gather more drones for another attack So destroyer branch tanks can be pretty annoying at times including skimmer Whenever you are traveling from place to place, try to keep your drones in front of you so if there is a hybrid attack from in front you are safe If they attack from behind it's easier to dodge since you have a much longer reaction time When the you got the hybrid on the run, try to claw them while dodging their bullets If you can get one or two drones to hit them it's good because many hybrid builds have little to no health Keep doing this until you get enough hits to kill them Rammers are actually cancer when playing overlord, especially if there are multiple of them
Most smart rammers will avoid an overlord when their drones are in front of them Many will try to catch you off guard by going out of your point of view and then charging back when they think your drones are away If this happens and your drones are near you claw them, if they aren't you can dodge their first rush by moving right when they get close to you but you also have to be dodging towards the direction that your drones are coming from so that you can block them from attack you A tip against ramming annihilators is to NEVER rush them, because they can easily dodge your drones if you don't claw them You want to kill rammers that have a boosting mechanism like booster or ramming annihilator by clawing them Against the smasher branch you just straight attack them or claw them, whatever is easier for you because they can't outrun your drones as well Overlord 1v1s are usually difficult but if you play it right it can be easy
Try to not protect yourself in an overlord 1v1 because if they can get you on the defensive then it's hard to turn it around into an attack without taking damage yourself Instead if you encounter and overlord immediately being your drones in front of them, move out of their point of view, and repel them Try to move them around and after a few seconds move towards them and bring your drones back for another attack If they do the same to you try to move directly to the side of them, don't move backwards because the drones will eventually catch up to you Ok do this tactic against overlords, managers, and overseerers When encountering a battleship just go straight for them or repel your drones towards them, try to stay out of range of their drones or do this when their drones are focused on something else Against necros you want to attack them when they are gathering drones or distracted If not try to repel your drones towards them while moving away from their drones Move them around so you can get a few hits
When bringing your drones back try to hit as many of their drones as possible so you force them to get more drones thus giving you a chance to kill them Ok so against bullet fighters and boosters you want to try to keep your drones close to you whether they are glass or dragon But when a glass fighter advanced you immediately want to charge them with your drones and dodge their bullets Maneuver you drones around their bullets so you can hit them head on, they will usually retreat or charge forward past your drones If they try to charge past you just move your drones towards them and move your tank away from them and their bullets A bit hard to understand but when playing in game it's much better to see what I mean by that Now against dragon builds you want to wait until they get closer and then quickly maneuver your drones around their bullets and quickly strike them, this should happen within a second so they will have no time to react, for this try to keep as much health on your drones as possible, since dragon builds usually have more health it's best to have as much health on your drones as possible So against trappers excluding gunner and auto trapper you just maneuver your drones around the traps and get a hit or two on them, keep chipping them down until they die Against gunner and auto trapper you do the same thing but you want to always be dodging their bullets so you won't die Now against auto tanks you want to straight attack them but you want to be behind your drones so that the auto bullets won't hit you Keep doing this until you kill them.
How to kill factory with overlord Step 1: repel your drones so it forms a roughly circular bubble around the factory, offset in the direction it's moving Step 2: attract the drones so they all reach the factory at approximately the same time - it won't be able to defend from all of them and it will take damage. If there's any asymmetry it might be able to block them all. Step 3: retreat while doing this or else you die from a repel Step 4: repeat until the factory is dead
