Tank Builds Intermediate
A tank's job is to be boring — to stand at the chokepoint and let the whole raid break on them.
Build a tank around high Defence, Toughness and Strength, full heavy armour, and a place at the front of the line.
The Tank Role
A tank absorbs the enemy's attention and damage so the rest of the squad can fight safely. They hold the chokepoint and rarely need to deal much damage themselves.
Core Stats
Tanks live on Defence to block, Toughness to survive what gets through, and Strength to carry heavy armour and a heavy weapon without penalty.
Gear
Full heavy armour and a good helmet. The speed and stealth penalties do not matter for a character whose job is to stand still and block.
Using A Tank
Place the tank at the front, at a chokepoint, and let enemies pile onto them while damage dealers and ranged finish the fight from safety.
