The Tank class is about being up front in the thick of things, drawing the attention - and bullets - of your enemies. They have the most health, and usually have skills that allow them to survive longer and protect their allies.

The main goal of a Tank is to be on the frontline. Due to their high health, they can absorb a lot of damage while drawing the attention of your enemies. This gives your Offensive and Defensive allies time to shoot the targets while they're otherwise distracted. This doesn't mean Tanks can't get kills - but they do tend to dish lower damage than either combat-focused classes.

Tanks are generally equipped with abilities that allow them to either protect themselves - allowing them to survive longer - or protect their allies through special shields. However, what makes a tank truly shine is cooperation. Unlike the Offense and Defense class, which can operate independently of the team, the Tank class relies on others. No tank should be without a Support to keep them alive!
