Yep, that's right. If you're reading this, you're probably wondering what the buzz is all about. Everyone knows how toxic the LD community is. People blasting each other left and right for spamming and all other things. It makes one rethink of ever partaking in PvP in SK. But do not fret! There is a way to enjoy LD once more: by becoming a tank! By the time you have read this small guide, you'll be ready to enjoy LD once more.

First, we have to define some terms. What is a tank? What are safe zones? These questions are now going to be answered! A tank is a knight in LD whose sole purpose is to capture and protect his/her teammates in order to secure victory. A tank utilizes safe zones, areas affected by a crowd control effect of by a shield, in order to secure points and protect teammates. And of course, a tank goes guardian so he can create a moving safe zone to protect teammates.

Now that those are defined, let's move on how to be a tank. First off is what you need equipped as a tank. A tank generally uses high defense armors, or armors that don't really give them an edge in actual fights, because their focus is not to fight, but to protect! A tank uses heart trinkets to survive longer in the battle field. The weapons that you use as a tank will determine your fighting style. But in order to maximize a tanks effectiveness, you MUST have a melee weapon as well as a haze bomb.

For the melee weapon, it can be either fast or slow. If you choose a fast weapon, use it to interrupt opponents attacks ONLY when your shield is broken. Shielding your allies is your TOP priority, so only fight when you can no longer do so. If you use a slow weapon, you can use it to peel off dangerous opponents from allies. Be careful though, slow weapons can be interrupted by faster weapons.

For the haze bomb, choosing a bomb with good crowd control or shutdown effects will maximize your effectiveness.

Now, here are some things you MUST remember in order to be a successful tank:
1) Have the tank's frame of mind. As a tank, NEVER let the toxicity of LD get to you. NEVER. Keep calm and protect your allies!
2) Captures win games. Always tell your teammates that you intend on winning LD, not get high damage.
3) Protect your teammates with your shield! Use your shield and keep it up to protect your teammates. Remember to tell them to utilize this, since some of them do get carried away.
4) Use safe zones to protect your teammates! Deploy your haze bomb at major fighting points to help your teammates. As always, tell your teammates to utilize these safe zones to their advantage.
5) Use safe zones to secure and defend points! Use haze bombs to effectively capture points. Opponents generally don't want to be afflicted by crowd control, so they would stay away.

Thanks for reading and have fun!
