Warpath: Ace Shooter B2B Combat Guide: Base-to-Base Tactics

To win a base-to-base (B2B) duel in Warpath: Ace Shooter, reduce the opposing command center's wall durability to zero to trigger a forced random teleport. Securing this outcome requires baiting defensive wall turrets with heavy armor while keeping your high-damage artillery and anti-tank units sheltered inside your base until hostile targeting locks in place.

How B2B Engagements Work in Version 13.4

A B2B battle occurs when two players teleport directly adjacent to each other on the frontline, putting both command centers within range of base defenses. At point-blank range, victory depends on structural durability trades rather than open-field maneuvering.

Automated wall turrets deal heavy damage and lock onto the first hostile unit entering their range. If unarmored units emerge first, defensive fire will destroy them before they complete an attack cycle. Depleting the enemy's structural durability causes their base to catch fire, and reaching zero durability immediately relocates them off the contested front.

Garrison Cycling and Turret Targeting

Managing turret targeting through garrison cycles prevents your primary damage dealers from taking lethal counter-battery fire:

1. Draw aggro with an anchor: Deploy a Super Heavy Tank or Heavy Tank first. This forces enemy wall turrets and defensive guns to lock onto high-durability armor.
2. Deploy burst units from the garrison: Once enemy targeting locks onto your lead tank, send out Howitzers, Rocket Launchers, and Tank Hunters to attack the enemy structure and garrisoned squads.
3. Retract damaged units: If the opponent manually re-targets your damage dealers, immediately order them back inside your base garrison to drop target lock and protect your reserve pool.

Recommended B2B Unit Roles

Point-blank combat prioritizes burst damage and armor penetration over movement speed. Light and medium tanks struggle in these trades due to their limited durability against defensive turrets.

Step-by-Step B2B Attack Execution

Executing an aggressive teleport drop next to an enemy requires precise deployment timing:

1. Verify base status: Inspect the target's wall durability and active defense units before moving. Do not initiate an attack if your own base is burning or your reserves are depleted.
2. Teleport adjacent: Relocate directly beside or diagonally adjacent to the enemy base to eliminate marching travel time.
3. Lock defense aggro: Deploy your heaviest armored unit immediately to target the opposing base and soak incoming turret fire.
4. Unload burst damage: Release Rocket Launchers and Tank Hunters from your garrison to focus fire on the enemy command center and initiate the burning state.
5. Track durability trades: If your own wall takes heavy damage, trigger repairs immediately and pull exposed damage dealers back into the garrison until targeting resets.

Defending Against an Adjacent Teleport

When an opponent drops a base directly onto your perimeter, avoid panicking into an uncoordinated counterattack:

• Garrison fragile units immediately: Pull light artillery and unarmored squads into your base before the attacker's initial salvo lands.
• Target the attacker's damage dealers: Ignore the enemy's lead heavy tank sponge. Direct your defensive turrets and deployed units onto exposed Rocket Launchers or Tank Hunters to strip away their structural siege potential.
• Call for alliance cross-fire: A player who teleports into enemy territory exposes their flanks and rear. Broadcast the attacker's coordinates to surrounding allies to force them into a multi-directional cross-fire.
