Power Rankings: Top Tanks in SteemMonsters
There are some abilities that you typically want in a solid monster lineup. In no particular order (I leave that to the voters) I will be doing a short series on the best tanks that can be used as a first card in your lineup. This is quite often the cornerstone of a great foundation to your team that you are playing. The ideal tank in this game has and/or higher health, armor, and may not be fast at all but difficult to take out needing many attacks, and they also help take down in many ways. There are also some abilities that are highly desired include: trample, heal, enrage, shield, stun, magic reflect, void, retaliate, thorns, or really any other attribute that helps the tank fight off instantly the enslaught of attackers that happen out of the gate in the match quite often.
The first post I will give you a list of possible tanks that be can be ideal for your first position by splinter and I can base the rankings off of your reactions mixed with personal opinion and how they are currently being viewed in general at the moment by the rest of the public of what I have observed. Also it is important to remember the game is still in testing as nothing has been announced for permanent abilities, and may never as they will likely change quite a bit at least early on to maintain balance and uniqueness in play week to week.

Thanks for the list @cryptkeeper17. I have yet to put together a team so it will come in handy.
Do you know if we should be putting together 20 or 25 mana teams? There seems to be more talk of the latter these days.
So we know what those of us with non combined cards will be playing with yet?
As of right now it's best to sit and wait on all of what you just said, at least that is what I am doing. There will likely be experimentation early on with some manna combinations, maybe even the actual manna stats themselves, at this moment I would say anything is possible there. When tournaments start there will be at least some advanced notice on what the given tournament rules are I am very confident in that, and you can adjust in that respect as they are announced. As long as you have most of the cards in any one splinter you will likely have enough manna within that set to play. As time goes on you can accumulate more cards, XP, and possibly build your cards up as you enter the official monster games at least in the start that offer those benefits.
Thanks @cryptkeeper17. I keep forgetting that you can increase the levels of the cards simply by playing them.
I was hoping to have some time to play around today and put together a team but I seem to have run out of time again. 😢
