As the name suggests, the Tank is best used for defending weaker classes like [[Seth (Class)|Seth]] and [[Archer (Class)|Archer]], and killing bosses. The knockback enchantments on the sword and bow help control large groups of mobs. The main downside of this class is the embarrassingly weak damage output of the bow and sword. Pre-buff, this class was in the NU (NeverUsed) tier, and for good reason. The Tank is outclassed in nearly every way by stronger mains like Swordsman and Archer.
