## Tank description

The **Tank** (Japanese: せんしゃ *sensha*) is a Job in *Miitopia* that focuses on **high physical damage** and **high defenses**.

Their weapons of choice are Shells.

Their clothing is called Tanks.

The Tank is all about pure **physical offense** and **defense**. However, its reckless attitude causes other party members to become annoyed, meaning you must be careful when using the Tank as it can cause a lot of resentment. Because of this, they are best when paired up with a Pop Star, due to their Love & Peace skill. They mostly lack MP and Speed.

The Tank's default attack is single target only, and consumes two MP.

## Trivia

* **Tank Stats**
	+ Tanks are the only job to never naturally gain any Speed, being stuck at 0, the lowest among all jobs. However, it may be raised with Grub.
	+ The Tank is tied with the Warrior and the Cat for having the lowest base max MP among all jobs, at 4.
	+ The Tank is tied with the Thief, the Imp and the Elf for having the highest base Defense among all jobs, at 6.
* **Tank Equipment**
	+ In the EU version of the game, the Tank’s preferred clothing is referred to as “Tank Armour” rather than “Tanks”. However, individual pieces of Tank Armour still use names that end with “Tank” (e.g. “Training Tank”).
	+ This is the only job whose hat cannot be removed, due to it being their main cannon used for attacks.
		- Despite this, Wigs can still be worn, but no matter the Wig setting, the wig will be taken off during battle.
			* However, if an Escort quest featuring a Tank Mii appears and a Mii wearing a wig is chosen, they will keep their wig on. This can cause some attacks (such as Human Cannonball) to look very bizarre, as if they are using their forehead to launch attacks.
	+ Tanks are the only class that can't wear amiibo clothes.
* **Attacks & Skills**
	+ This class and the Chef are the only jobs that have skills that may cause teammates to gain resentment against the user.
		- The Tank, however, doesn't have a skill that can increase relationship.
		- This class has the most unique skills that can cause teammates to gain resentment against the user.
	+ Tanks, Cats, Chefs, Thieves, Flowers, Pop Stars and Vampires are the only classes that have unique walking animations in exploration.
		- Specifically, the Tank rolls with their wheels, similar to an actual tank.
	+ Tanks consume two MP per default attack. If a Tank runs out of MP, the game says they are out of ammo and are unable to attack until it gets restored.
		- This also applies when they join another Mii's attacks via assists such as Pincer.
		- The Tank is the only one to utilize this mechanic, meanwhile other classes like Elf that would also realistically run out of ammunition (Arrows) are strangely unaffected.
		- However, if an Airheaded's Oops or an Energetic's Charge activates, it will not consume MP as the Tank would directly smack an enemy with their weapon instead. This doesn't activate if the Tank is already out of MP.
	+ When a Mage uses Enlarge Weapon on a tank, during the animation, the cannon also increases in size.
	+ When Tank is in a middle of Repairing, they can still receive ally's support skills, but cannot receive the skill that involves receiver's extra animation to occur, as Tank stays in "Defence" animation during Repair. (Ex: Chef's every food skills, Horse's Snuggle Up) Getting inflicted by status effect that prevents Mii to act during Repair cancels it.
	+ Tanks are the only job that can be rendered near-useless (or outright useless if their relationship levels aren't high enough) if their weapon is stolen. This doesn't stop them from using attack-based assists such as Pincer, but will always miss (and wastes two MP in the process). In the Switch version, they can still receive assistance from the Horse to use Mounted Attack or Snort, and although it always hits, the damage is nerfed due to the lack of a weapon, and cannot use Horse Whispering/Horseplay either, which is the same story as the other jobs if they don't have a weapon.
* This job may be a reference to the fact that "tank" is a term used in other games' meta - most often MMORPGs - that describes a character whose main role is to have high enough defense, evasion or HP that they can take high amounts of damage and draw aggression towards themselves and away from their less durable allies. This is supported by the Tank having the highest base defense out of all jobs (though the Chef can achieve a higher defense rating as their weapon provides defense in addition to attack).
* In the Switch version, the Mii used in the 3DS version’s official artwork of the class is used as the default Mii for the Roving Photographer, albeit with darker skin, and given the name “Snaps.”
