• Disadvantages: Higher risk of friendly fire, wider attack patterns.

Making the Choice

The “best” Guard Dog depends on your playstyle:

• Precision Player: Opt for the Standard Guard Dog for focused firepower and reduced friendly fire risk.
• Damage Dealer: Unleash the Guard Dog Rover for high kill potential and aggressive tactics.
• Team Synergy: Both can work, but communicate with teammates to avoid friendly fire surprises with the Rover.

Remember:

• Experiment! Try both Guard Dogs and see which suits you best.
• “Hand Carts” module reduces the Standard Guard Dog’s cooldown.
• Prioritize positioning to minimize friendly fire with the Rover.
