Ultimate Guide for Tank Class (As of 2024) (2024)

mathematical9 said:

welcome to mathematical9's official tank guide, where I'd cover most of what a tank needs to survive the floors inside of dungeons [no master mode :sob:]

Sorry but I’m gonna heavily criticise anything that I believe is wrong

mathematical9 said:

f1 - f3:
- old, holy dragon or heavy armor [armor]
- wand of healing [healing item]

Agree

mathematical9 said:

- aspect of the Dragons [melee]

Ok maybe but it’s not a good idea to start bad habits - at higher floors, like f4+, NO class should be meleeing cause it’s just way too slow compared to other things. Tanks should be using either mage clear or shortbow clear. Would personally recommend using a dungeonised dragon shortbow.

mathematical9 said:

- 15 talismans [magical power]

Doesn’t mean anything, 15 common talismans is 45 magic power which is basically nothing. It is much better to talk in terms of magic power - at LEAST 100 but preferably 200-250

mathematical9 said:

- rare blue whale pet [pet]
(~7m cost)

that’s fine

mathematical9 said:

f4 - f5:
- dungeonized old or holy dragon armor, skip adaptive armor and straight for shadow assassin for clearing [armor]
- wand of mending or restoration [healing item]

Agree

mathematical9 said:

- livid dagger, Shadow fury, Aotd (Maxed), Fot (If possible) [melee]

Melee is bad for tank as I said earlier

mathematical9 said:

Again, talk in terms of mp, not number of talismans - would recommend at least 300 mp but 400+ is preferred

mathematical9 said:

- epic blue whale or turtle pet [pet]
(~15m)

Forgot to mention a clearing pet as well, if using shortbow then skeleton pet, if using ss/hype clear then probably sheep

mathematical9 said:

f6 - f7
[!] HUGE LEAP IN PRICE [!]
F6:
- reaper mask + 3/4 necromancer lord [armor]

You forgot to mention clear set, maybe it’s not exactly needed on f6 but it’s best to start good habits cause it’s 100% essential in master mode and f7 if you want to be a good tank

mathematical9 said:

- wand of restoration or even atonement if you can afford [healing item]

Florid zombie sword and gloomlock grimoire are very accessible at this point

mathematical9 said:

- livid dagger, shadow fury, FoT (recommended), juju shortbow (eman slayer 5 requirement)

again, don’t recommend melee to any class other than bers cause it’s just not good at ALL

mathematical9 said:

- 30 talismans minimum [magical power]

Again as I said, magic power. Recommended at least 400, but 500+ preferable

mathematical9 said:

- leg blue whale [pet]
(~60m)

Good but again, clearing pet is also useful

mathematical9 said:

f7:
- reaper mask + 3/4 goldor [armor]

You didn’t include a clearing set - generally consists of ghead + 2/4 necron + maxor boots

mathematical9 said:

- wand of atonement [healing item]

Forgot gloomlock and/or florid

mathematical9 said:

- giant's sword,

Useless if you’re not bers

mathematical9 said:

axe of the shredded,

Useless, does NOTHING for agro on f7

mathematical9 said:

livid dagger, shadow fury,

Again, useless

mathematical9 said:

astrea (rich players)

No point having Astraea unless doing mm, the defence is way too overkill - hype is better

mathematical9 said:

, juju shortbow or terminator (rich players) [melee]

Melee bad unless bers as I have said earlier

mathematical9 said:

- 40 talismans minimum [magical power]

Again stupid cause it doesn’t specify how much mp, at least 500+ recommended but at 600+ preferred

mathematical9 said:

- leg blue whale [pet]
(~100m+)

Forgot clear pet again

mathematical9 said:

recommended / useful items:
- aspect of the end / aspect of the void (etherwarp transmission) [movement]

Aote can support etherwarp

mathematical9 said:

- florid zombie sword [healing item]

Good

mathematical9 said:

- ice spray wand / gyrokinetic wand [combat]

Completely overkill on f7, there is no reason for these

mathematical9 said:

- gloomlock grimoire [healing, sacrifices stats]

Good

mathematical9 said:

- rabbit hat for f7 [patched]

Why mention it if it’s patched

mathematical9 said:

- slime hat [true anti-knockback stats]

Completely useless cause tank literally has antikb built in as one of the perks, and it is working as intended

mathematical9 said:

- bonzo's staff,

Good, but forgot jerry-chine gun

mathematical9 said:

spirit mask [revives]

Spirit mask is over 100m bruh, why not bonzo mask instead which is better and is like a few mill

mathematical9 said:

tank you (cringe joke) for reading this, feel free to remind me if I forgot anything or needs an update!

[clearing guide coming soon]

Also forgot to say what to do in f7
