The Back-Roller is the first weapon unlocked by leveling up in the game, unlocked at level 2.
A Roller that rolls backwards for a while after landing.
Behavior[]
Upon landing, it will roll into the oppositing direction (if the projectile landed by the right side, it will roll to the left side, and vice-versa) for ~3 seconds until hitting an enemy. If it continues unimpeded it will self-terminate itself in a tiny explosion.
Tactics[]
Like any other Roller-like projectile, it's better used aid you adjust your aim for the next shot by basing your current aim into the roller's landing position. Due to it's ability it will also hit the enemy and deal damage on the same turn.
Since it will roll into the opposite direction, you need to aim it past your target. If it hits too early it will simply return back and in some cases, end up hitting your tank instead.
Other than that, it's often wasted to pick up crates, since it deals very low damage and has a very small explosion radius.
