In Empires & Puzzles the term "tank" refers to the hero placed in the center of your team.  Of the 7 tile wide battlefield, only one tile hits each other hero, while the tank will absorb all three center tiles.  Because of this, a tank must have high defense and high health.  Traditional examples of quality tanks would be [[Boldtusk]], [[Kashhrek]], and [[Richard]].

Empires & Puzzles, the term "tank" refers to the hero placed at the center of his time. In the 7-piece battlefield, only one piece hits the other hero, while the tank absorbs all three center pieces. Because of this, a tank must have high defense and high health. Traditional examples of quality tanks used Boril, Kashhrek and Justice. These heroes are iconic tanks because they have more than just high defense and health, but they also bring a strong glow from the team or debuff from the enemy team as well.

Quality Tanks by Star

Below is a list of potential tanks, separated by star and element. Just because they are listed does not mean that they may not be the best overall hero for that particular element, only that they absorb damage well and that their Special Ability is useful. The absolute top-level options by star are in italics. Alternatively, you can view this list of all tanks, download stars or recommendation.
