IT-Tankki
The IT-Tankki (listen 
) (also known as Rocket Tank) is a beige turret on tracks whose main attack is firing homing rockets. It's one of 3 tank models fighting for Hiisi, the others being KK-Tankki and Laser-Tankki, and as such commonly appear in the Snowy Depths and Hiisi Base. Like other robots it bleeds Oil when damaged and explodes in a fireball upon its destruction.
Behavior
The movement and attack patterns of IT-Tankki are very similar to the other two models, the Tank and Laser Tank, only differing by their mounted turret.
Its tracks allow it to move along the ground fairly slowly and when regeistering you will initiate their attacking sequence. IT-Tankki will rotate its turret to face you and, once it has locked on with its blue targeting laser, shoot a homing missile dealing high amounts of damage as well as knocking you back. The launcher needs about 3 seconds to reload before it can shoot another rocket.
It is friendly toward members of the Hiisi faction, however, it can often be encountered engaging in combat with other creatures like Ice Skulls and Rats.
Tips
- Take cover! Once it has landed the first hit it can be difficult to avoid further attacks due to the high knockback and the tank's low reload time.
- Avoid fighting IT-Tankki in close corridors or very open spaces.
- Use the curved trajectory of spells like Firebolt to your advantage and attack IT-Tankki from behind cover.
- The homing missiles are relatively accurate, but not impossible to doge: With quick maneuvering you can direct the rockets at terrain, making them detonate on impact.
- Electricity and explosives are the most effective way of dealing damage to IT-Tankki.
- Notably, IT-Tankkis resist damage from Fire, Slice and Drill attacks.
