"Find me cards equivalent to: Walking Ballista"

Equivalent cards to Walking Ballista (Colorless, enters with +1/+1 counters, can add more, and uses counters for damage) are very limited. Closest alternatives are:
1. Hangarback Walker — Artifact Creature, enters with X +1/+1 counters, can gain more counters, but instead creates Thopter tokens when it dies (does not shoot directly).
2. Triskelion — Artifact Creature, enters with three +1/+1 counters, can remove counters to deal 1 damage each time (can’t add more counters natively).
3. Pentavus — Artifact Creature, enters with five +1/+1 counters, can move counters around to make flying tokens, doesn’t deal direct damage.

None are exact, but Triskelion is the most similar for the ability to remove counters to deal damage. There's no exact replacement in a strictly colorless flavor with the ability to repeatedly gain counters and use them for damage like Walking Ballista.

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Hangarback Walker at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many Thopter tokens you get. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Hangarback Walker and it gets four -1/-1 counters, you'll get three Thopter tokens. That's because Hangarback Walker's triggered ability checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • The value of each X in Hangarback Walker's mana cost must be equal. For example, if X is 2, you'll pay {4} to cast Hangarback Walker and it will enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.

    Rules

  • If Triskelion has damage marked on it, activating its ability may cause that damage to become lethal. For example, say a Triskelion with two +1/+1 counters on it has been dealt 2 damage earlier in the turn. If you activate its ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, it now has 2 toughness and is destroyed as a state-based action. You won’t be able to remove the other +1/+1 counter from it to activate its ability again. The first activation of the ability will still resolve.
  • If you activate the ability of an attacking or blocking Triskelion during the declare blockers step, it will deal less combat damage as a result. If you wait until the combat damage step, but Triskelion is dealt lethal damage, it’ll be destroyed before you get a chance to activate its ability.

    Rules

  • A casting cost of {X}{X} means that you pay twice X. If you want X to be 3, you pay {6} to cast Walking Ballista.
  • If Walking Ballista has been dealt damage or had its toughness reduced by an effect, this limits how many times you'll be able to remove +1/+1 counters from it in a single turn. For example, if it has three +1/+1 counters on it and has been dealt 1 damage this turn, it will be destroyed immediately after you activate the ability a second time and you won't be able to activate it a third time.
