Gala Games has announced the Shrouded Shrine arena, the latest addition to the Spider Tanks universe. This new battlefield is located deep in the Sylvanus jungle, amidst ancient ruins that hint at a mysterious past. According to Gala News, Shrouded Shrine is designed to provide a balanced and strategic gameplay experience, making it a popular choice among Spider Tanks pilots.
Unique Stadium Features
The Shrouded Shrine arena stands out for its circular layout that gives players evenly matched starting points. The 180-degree path through the arena encourages strategic maneuver and teamwork. Unlike other maps, Shrouded Shrine doesn’t have large open spaces, which has the potential to favor faster tanks. Additionally, there are only two repair kits in the arena – one on the bridge to the north and the cliff to the south, adding another layer of strategy for players to consider.
strategic field
Area 1: Outskirts
The east and west sides of the arena, accessible via bridges, are dangerous spots that are easy for enemies to access as they require repair kits to be ready. Instead, this area should be used as a secondary attack route when enemy forces establish themselves to the north or south.
Area 2: Cliff Edge
The south provides repair kits and some cover, but is also vulnerable to attacks from four directions. Experienced players can use this area to launch an effective assault to the north and utilize repair kits to withstand the initial assault.
Area 3: Runway
To the north is a long straight road accessible via a single bridge. Controlling this area can be advantageous if the players can prevent enemies from using repair kits. Open spaces require careful positioning to avoid enemy attacks from across the chasm.
Area 4: Killbox
The central area, known as the Killbox, is very important in King of the Hill matches. It is a highly competitive arena where control can determine the outcome of the game. The team that controls this area can effectively control the flow of battle, forcing their opponents to retreat to a less advantageous position.
Best Practices for Veiled Sanctuaries
keep moving
Mobility is essential in Shrouded Shrine. The circular layout allows players to constantly move and change position while avoiding prolonged exposure to enemy fire. The outskirts and runway areas provide ample space to maneuver and evade attacks.
keep in touch
Communication with team members is important. The design of the arena can easily cut players off from their allies, so it’s important to be aware of each other’s locations. Allowing enemies to separate your team can have disastrous results.
No reliable cover
Cover in the Shrouded Shrine is limited and often unreliable. Bridges and other structures provide only minimal protection, so players must remain alert and adaptable. The central mechanism provides some cover, but can be easily bypassed by agile opponents.
bridges are not safe
The eastern and western bridges are particularly dangerous as they can be targeted from multiple angles. These structures should be used for quick transitions rather than defensive positions. Northbridge is slightly less exposed but still a high risk area.
conclusion
Shrouded Shrine provides a challenging environment for both new and experienced players. Unique layouts and strategic elements require a deep understanding of the map and constant adaptation. As players become accustomed to its intricacies, the arena promises intense and dynamic combat in the world of Spider Tanks.
