TFT Tank ranking (effective health)

Every Set 18 Tank-role champion under an incoming damage stream of 200, 600 or 1000 damage per second (half physical, 4 attackers, 20 s): what it soaks without items and with its best 3-item defensive build.

Pick a comp level: each champion shows the best combination of its own traits a comp of that level can reach. Levels 4 to 7 only use champions you can find at that level: up to 2-costs at level 4, 3-costs at levels 5 and 6, 4-costs at level 7. Pick the star level with the star chips.

How to read this page

Debuffs on the tank
Shred lowers the tank's magic resist by 30%, Sunder its armor by 30%, and Burn deals 1% of its max health as true damage every second and cuts its healing by 33%, all from the first hit to the end.
The incoming damage stream
600 damage per second by default, or 200 or 1000 with the chips, half physical and half magic, from 4 attackers hitting 0.75 times a second each, for 20 s. The champion fights back against a 3000 health dummy, so its own ability, shields and heals run as in a fight.
Effective health
Everything the champion soaked before dying or before the 20 s ran out: damage mitigated by armor, magic resist and durability, plus what shields absorbed and heals restored.
Best tank build
Every completed defensive item alone, then every 3-item combination of the 12 best, each item once. Artifacts and radiant items are left out. The link opens the build in the effective-health calculator.
