Assemble the Ashigaru—A Japanese Tier X Wheeled Tank Destroyer

Commanders,

The gates of the Assembly Shop are opening again! This time, you have an opportunity to build the X Ashigaru , a brand-new Tier X Japanese wheeled sniper tank destroyer with a gun that may be called phenomenal because of its stats.

Every Ashigaru assembled will come with the imposing "Shinsei" 3D style featuring a unique number.

Read on and learn how to make the Ashigaru yours!

Assembly Shop

Remember that the basic operating principle of the Assembly Shop is "First come, first served"—so be prepared when it opens! The event may finish before the scheduled end time if all vehicles are assembled.

Accessing the Assembly Shop

As long as the Assembly Shop is active, you can enter it any time from your Garage.

How the Assembly Shop Works

  • Invest Resources Use in-game resources like blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds to construct the Ashigaru.
  • Get It Numbered and Exclusive. Every Ashigaru comes with a uniquely numbered "Shinsei" 3D style.
  • Mind the Limited Quantity. Only 98,000 Ashigaru tank destroyers will be available. Once the supply is exhausted, they're gone!

Mix and Match Resources in Different Ratios

Plan your strategy ahead of time. Use our Resource Calculator to find the most efficient combination of assets available to you for assembling the Ashigaru.

Meet the Ashigaru

The first-ever wheeled tank destroyer in the game is named after the Japanese light infantry of the medieval to early modern period. During the latter, these warriors began to wield firearms. The Ashigaru's main armament is way more powerful than a matchlock gun, and can fire much more frequently with exceptional precision.

The parameters displayed can be further improved with 100% trained crew, the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, equipment, consumables, and directives.

Key Features

  • Excellent DPM. Fine-tuning your Ashigaru and its crew can bring its reload time to less than 5 seconds. One-time damage of 390 HP results in DPM of more than 4,500 HP.
  • Outstanding precision. The Ashigaru's gun is equipped with a cooling system. With its effect fully applied, the already impressive accuracy becomes some of the very best in the game. And there's no catch of any kind: The aiming time is also exceptional.
  • Fast shells. The velocities of the Ashigaru's shells complement the picture of a dedicated sniper vehicle. Even the base AP shell travels at 1,250 m/s, while the special APCR shell flies at 1,540 m/s.

Tactical Tips

  • Be an Ambush Sniper. The Ashigaru is built for this gameplay. Fully tapping into the phenomenal DPM of the vehicle is possible—you just need a good covered position.
  • Drive Responsibly. The mobility of the Ashigaru is average, so choose your direction and positions wisely, and think about withdrawal routes in advance.
  • Terrain Can Give Extra Camo. While the Ashigaru's base camo values aren't stellar, they can be improved. Also, the 10° maximum gun depression allows you to lower your silhouette in certain positions, exposing only the turret. By the way, the turret's frontal armor is thick enough to stop most HE shells.

The Ashigaru is exclusive to this Assembly Shop event, so use the chance to add this sniping DPM powerhouse to your collection. Bring resources and craft it while you can—that is, before February 22 or before the supply runs out!
