Note that the most important thing about building the Tank characters in Enshrouded is that you ensure that their gear is resistant and strong enough to inflict damage at the same time. The best combination is high endurance and respectable damage skills.

Best Skills for Tank Character in Enshrouded

When it comes to which skills are best to nurture and build on if you are a Tank character, the main thing you should remember is that the main focus is on combat, resistance to damage, and healing.

In combat, look to add skills such as Merciless Attack or Evasion Attack. One increases the damage you deal to enemies after a successful parry and the other gives you an opportunity to immediately strike back after you dodge an attack.

Because you chose a hand-to-hand combat style, make sure that your character’s healing skills are on a respectable level, considering you’re gonna endure some heavy strikes. For example, Battle Heal enables you to gain some HP after a successful critical strike. With Healer and Healer 2 skills, you increase the amount of health you get from using healing spells.

Some other useful skills you can add to your Tank character in Enshrouded are Runner (fast moves), Blink (instead of dodging, you disappear for a few seconds and then reappear behind your enemy), and Power Parry, which improves your counter ability.
