War Inc: Rising Best Tank Heroes — Tank Tier List and Guide

Radiant Warrior is the best Tank in the game by a wide margin. Ironguard and Paladin are strong at lower rarities. Scudiero (Common) punches above its cost for early game. A good Tank keeps your damage dealers alive — a great Tank also brings crowd control.

Here's the full Tank ranking with synergies, positioning tips, and which tanks work best for your stage of the game.

Tanks need high HP and DEF to absorb damage. That's the baseline.

The best Tanks also have crowd control — stuns, taunts, or slows that keep enemies locked down. A Tank that only stands there and takes hits is fine. A Tank that stuns the enemy backline while your damage dealers work is game-changing.

Position your Tank at the front of your formation (A1 or A4 are good defaults). Their job is to eat damage so your damage dealers don't have to.

- Radiant Warrior (Mythic, S+): Best in class. Excellent HP scaling with holy damage. Level 6 gives +20% elemental resistance to all allies. Use 2-4 in every formation.

- Ironguard (Legendary): Strong defensive utility. Good bridge between mid and endgame.

- Paladin (Rare): Multi-unit tank with shields every 10 seconds. Combo with Radiant Warrior.

- Woodland Guardian (Legendary): Self-healing every 12s (30% HP + 3,000 fixed). Independent sustain.

- Pumpkin Guard (Epic): Taunt mechanic useful in Infinite War. Surprisingly high damage for a tank.

- Scudiero (Common): Budget tank that works in early game. Replace as soon as you can.

Don't invest Forge Stones in a Tank below Legendary rarity unless you're early game. The stat scaling on higher-rarity Tanks is worth the wait.

Tanks need Support heroes with healing to reach their full potential. Grace Priest and Melody Weaver extend your Tank's survivability dramatically.

Positioning tips:

- Place your main Tank at A1 or A4

- Against Backstab formations, run two Tanks to protect both front and back lines

- Level DEF at least as much as HP — raw HP without DEF melts against high-ATK opponents

- Some Tanks have self-healing (Woodland Guardian) — use these when Support slots are limited

A great Tank with good Support behind them is the foundation of every winning team.
