The '''Tanker''' can take it and dish it out all at once. The Tanker primarily can absorb vast amounts of damage, and hold his own in a fist fight. But the Tanker lacks any long range punch. The Tanker would prefer just to charge straight ahead anyway.

If the [[Blaster]] is the irresistible force, the ''Tanker'' is the immovable object. While not leading the pack for dealing damage, '''nobody''' can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Tanker when time comes to '''take''' damage. The Tanker is not totally invulnerable, but while he bends his efforts to protecting his teammates and they lend him their aid in turn, it's very easy to feel that way! The Tanker is a second only to the [[Scrapper]] in melee power, and possesses some ranged abilities, though far below those of the [[Blaster]] or the [[Defender]]. Tankers proudly stand in the front lines of battle in order to protect their comrades and, of course, the innocent.


The Tanker's powersets are:

'''Secondary''': Melee
'''Secondary''': Melee


The Tanker has high hit points and medium damage.
