Meat Shield Hero Formation

Answer 1

In King of Glory, the formation of a tank hero was influenced by many factors.

** 1. Equipment Selection **
1. ** Defense Equipment Accumulated **
- For the majority of tank champions like Bai Qi and Xiahou Dun, they would first drop basic defensive equipment. A cost-effective equipment like the Red Lotus Cloak was the choice of many meat shields in the early stages of the game. It provided physical defense and HP bonuses, as well as passive area damage, which could increase the survivability and clearing ability of the hero during the laning phase.
- As the game progressed, he would choose a specific defensive equipment according to the enemy's lineup. If the enemy's physical damage output hero was strong, equipment such as cloth shoes, ominous signs, and anti-damage armor would be more important. The passive effect of Ominous Omen could reduce the attacker's attack speed and movement speed. It could effectively limit the damage output of enemy shooters or ordinary attack warriors. The anti-damage Thorn Armor would reflect a certain percentage of physical damage when it received physical damage. It could counter the enemy's physical hero during the laning period.
- The Witch's Cloak was a must-have equipment when facing a situation where the enemy's magic output was high. The magic defense and shield provided by it could greatly enhance the survivability of the tank hero when facing a mage. For example, when facing a Berserk Mage like Daji, she would not be easily killed by a set of skills with the Witch's Cloak.
2. ** Upgrade and matching of defensive equipment **
- In the middle and late stages of the game, the tank hero needed to upgrade his defensive equipment and match it reasonably. For example, after casting the Red Lotus Cloak, the Tyrant could be replenished according to the situation to increase its HP and endurance. The passive of the Tyrant Heavy Armor allowed the hero to quickly recover HP after the battle, so that the tank hero did not need to return to the city frequently, and could continue to lead the line, support, or join the team on the battlefield.
- Some tank heroes would also choose to use Freezing Storm, which provided cooldown reduction, physical defense, and mana. When the tank received a single damage that exceeded 10% of its current health, it would trigger Ice Impact, causing damage to surrounding enemies and reducing their attack speed and movement speed. For a tank hero like Cheng Yaojin who needed to use skills frequently, the Arctic Storm could allow him to use skills more frequently and increase his defense.

** 2. Level increase **
1. ** Skill Points Added **
- Different tank heroes had different strategies to add points to their skills. For example, Zhu Bajie's skill could convert damage into HP recovery. Usually, he would add two skills to his main skill. This way, he could better use the HP recovery effect and control effect of his skill to exchange blood with the enemy hero during the laning period. On the other hand, Bai Qi focused on adding a skill. This was because there was a chance that the HP recovery effect of a skill would be triggered when damage was taken. Raising the skill level by one could increase the amount of HP recovered, making Bai Qi even more fleshy in a team battle.
2. ** Attribute increase brought by level **
- As the level of the tank hero increased, their basic health points, physical defense, magic defense, and other attributes would increase. With each level up, although the increase in these attributes did not seem to be much, the accumulation would make the tank hero very fleshy in the later stages of the game. For example, when Lianpo was at level one, his health and defense were relatively low. However, when he reached the maximum level, his tankiness would have a qualitative leap. Coupled with the bonus of his equipment, he could take a lot of damage.

** 3. Game economy **
1. ** Replenishment and consumption in the lane **
- The tank hero had to ensure the success rate of replenishing the minions when he was online. A tank hero like Xiang Yu, who had the ability to clear his minions, could gain more gold by replenishing his minions. At the same time, they had to use their skills to consume the enemy heroes, forcing the enemy heroes to go home or not be able to replenish their troops normally, thus widening the economic gap. For example, Xiahou Dun could use the two-stage crowd control of the first skill and the shield and damage of the second skill to consume the enemy hero during the laning period and then safely replenish the minions.
2. ** Participating in team battles and assisting in kills **
- The tank hero had to actively participate in the team battle and take on the role of absorbing damage. Although their damage output was relatively low, by attracting the enemy's firepower, they created an environment for their own output heroes to kill and assist. Killing and assisting could give him a lot of gold and experience. For example, in a team battle, Zhang Fei used a big move to rush into the enemy camp and control the enemy hero. If his teammates successfully killed the enemy hero, Zhang Fei could receive the gold and experience reward for assisting, speeding up his own formation.
3. ** Fighting for resources **
- The tank hero had to cooperate with their Jungler to fight for resources, such as the resources of Tyrant, Ruler, and other wild monsters. When fighting for these resources, tank heroes could use their own tankiness to attract the aggro of wild monsters or the firepower of enemy heroes. For example, when fighting a Tyrant, Bull Demon could use his control skills and tantrum to prevent enemy heroes from coming to snatch it. After his team successfully killed the Tyrant, all the team members would receive an increase in gold and experience, and the tank hero would be formed faster.
