Nuke uses his weaponry to compensate for his lack of speed, and is extremely specialized in close range combat.

'''Guardian''' is a fast supercar, capable of outrunning any other car, save Groundshock, Ice Charger, and Thermo. it uses its high speed to compensate for lack of defense, but has a high special item capability and specializes in weaponry that hacks other supercars - damaging their steering, negating their armor, or forcing them into entrapment fields. Guardian has held the top spot for special item functionality and capacity, although Groundshock comes close. 

Guardian comes short in the firepower department. Guardian can only equip two weapons at a time, and the Sonic Blast and Scramble Mine cannot be upgraded past level one, limiting their effectiveness. Furthermore, Guardian's long range weapon needs a decent amount of trigger time on tougher targets like Big Bang and MXT, and as such the commander needs to plan their attack accordingly.

=== Weaponry ===

==== Default ====
Guardian's default weapon is the '''Sonic Beam''', a long range weapon that does more damage the longer it stays focused on a target. 

==== Optional ====
Guardian can be equipped with the following weapons, purchased in the coin shop:

'''Big Bang''' is a supercar with thick armor and heavy weapons. He sacrifices speed for pure carnage, and is capable of surviving multiple hits from other powerful supercars, such as Skull and Nuke, and can survive area of effect attacks from cars such as Groundshock long enough to retaliate with his own weapons and go for the kill. Big Bang is a purely battle oriented supercar, and is a force to be reckoned with.

'''International MXT''', MXT for short, or Mammoth, is a supercar found in the Fast & Furious Edition Starter Kit, and it is extremely useful for battle and king of the hill, as its high firepower and impenetrable defense make it the strongest supercar in the game. International MXT has extremely high defense, making this supercar dangerous not only due to its firepower, but also due to its ability to get close to you and be hard to shake off. This supercar is similar to Big Bang because of its defense. Groundshock with Skull, Ice Charger (Dyanmo) and MXT (Mammoth) are all the most popular anki overdrive car

=== Weaponry ===

'''Ice Charger''' (Dynamo) can outrun any supercar, and it can match Thermo's top speed equally. Ice Charger has good firepower, with a good amount of damage done by its unique Combat Shotgun it is a good choice for racing. The Damocles can also prove to be effective, as its range is better than most area of effect weapons. It can also scramble others, making it a good makeshift shield item. The Ice Charger comes short in its defense, where is makes for easy pickings due to the shortage of armor/ health upgrades and a lack of a shield item.
