Vale Guardian: Builds – Dragonhunter Tank

The tank’s job is to kite to Vale Guardian around the arena. The tank has to be careful with the Vale Guardian’s attacks and needs to keep it facing away from the rest of the players as much as possible. You can see the direction the Vale Guardian is facing by its marker on the ground. Its attacks can be negated by dodging, blocking, evading or becoming invulnerable.

During the split phases, the tank goes to the Blue Guardian.

When rotating around the arena, make sure to position the Vale Guardian near the edge of the next sector (but not too close!), somewhere near the middle of the separation line.
