In Brawl Stars, a Tank Brawler uses their high HP to soak in large amounts of enemy damage. With their abilities, they can shield others and create attacking opportunities to allow allies to fully utilize their abilities without being eliminated. Needless to say, Tanks play a pivotal role in any successful team.

There are currently 14 Tank Brawlers in Brawl Stars. Each character has their respective strengths and weaknesses.

That said, picking the right one can often be a challenging decision, especially when so much hinges on which Brawler you select. To help you out and make things easier, we've ranked all the Tank Brawlers in the current roster.

Our tier list ranks all the Tank Brawlers based on their strength as well as how they're currently performing across both casual Trophy Road and competitive Ranked matches. We've also considered the impact made by the recent balance changes.

The tier list starts with the S-tier, where the Brawlers listed are the best of the best, and ends with the F-tier, which unfortunately shows the worst Tanks in the game. As you may have guessed, the power levels of these Brawlers decrease as you move down the tier list.

There are a handful of Brawlers thanks to the strength of this class. That said, the best Tanks in Brawl Stars are Buster, Draco, and Trunk.

Buster lives up to the traditional demands of a Tank Brawler – taking damage and healing allies. He can also deploy a moving shield with his Super, so if you need someone to lead the charge into battle, then Buster's your man.

Draco excels at being an offensive Tank Brawler. Between his Super that allows him to transform into a damage-resistant dragon and his 'Last Stand' Gadget that enables him to essentially be unkillable for two seconds, he's perfect for running into team fights and distracting enemy fire. It also helps that his other Gadgets and Star Powers give his attacks an added boost.

Trunk is one of the more recent additions to Brawl Stars, but they've proven themselves to be extremely overpowered. This is because they can spawn ants on the battlefield, which provide Trunk with +20% movement speed and +30% damage when they stand near or on them. They can further improve the effectiveness of these ants with any one of their Gadgets or Star Powers.

While there are no objectively bad Tanks in the game at the moment, there are two Brawlers whose abilities are overshadowed by others in the Class. Namely, they're Darryl and El Primo.

Darryl is quite a decent Brawler in terms of stats and abilities. However, you'll notice that there is quite a big gap between the effectiveness of his abilities and others in terms of soaking damage. Unfortunately, this leaves him at a disadvantage most of the time.

El Primo has one of the highest HPs in the game – a good thing for a Tank Brawler. But the rest of his abilities are offensive ones, which sadly don't feed into helping his team absorb damage. In our opinion, he's more suited to a Damage Dealer role.
