Who is the Best tank and why?
What is a tank? : A tank is a classification in role playing games that is nick named 'Meat Shield'. He is usually the front line in any group dynamics that takes the damage for the team. He eggs on his opponents to attack him while others behind him are able to set up for the win. Tanks often rely on healers to keep them alive, and they depend on damage dealers to strike the winning blow.
There are a lot of tanks in Hero's tactics, but ultimately it comes down to two choice for me
Grump or Centaur
They both have a list of reasons why they are the best tank in the game, but Grump wins overall for me. His taunt does exactly what a tank should be doing, that's attracting the danger towards himself. Grump also has a ton of HP meaning he is perfectly capable of taking the damage. Out of interest, I pitted grump vs centaur 1 on 1 in sky to see who would win the 1 on 1 fight. I took 12 rounds and grump came out the clear winner.

Is Grump really played at high level ? The issue with him may be that even if he's viable on defense, he is uninteresting in attack. While Centaur does both. In story mode, Centaur's stun will be far more useful. At the end, Grump's only use is in arena's defense team. Centaur can be used anywhere and still be almost as tanky (taunt missing, but who needs taunt when you can stun). Isn't the real question "does one need a tank which does nothing else than not dying?" ?

If you are facing a Zorak with Helena on your team, there is nothing stopping him from killing your hero by round 3. Grump, placed by Helena will use his taunt to keep Zorak off her. Centar can't say the same.

I think they're are both great in different ways. Grump is just a pain in the backside, hard to kill and his taunt skill can really throw a battle into disarray. Centaur is great at wasting the rounds down in arena through constant stunning. Best tank? I personally think it depends on the other heroes being used to compliment them. For a very long time I couldn't leave grump out of my arena defence team. Centaur has since taken his place, for grumps low mobility is the thing that costs him. My current defensive team of centaur, hyperia, zorak, Dracula, elemix has held #1 rank in essos server for over a week now. Does that make centaur a better tank? No. He just keeps pace better in my current formation. If my defence team changed to something slow with more range/healer types grump would be an instant selection over centaur.
