坦克 (电子游戏)

坦克（Tank），又称肉盾（meat shield），是电子游戏的一种角色类型（詳見電子遊戲術語列表）。在即时战略游戏、角色扮演游戏、格斗游戏和MUD中，坦克通过引离或吸引敌方攻击的方式，保护其他角色或单位。这类角色通常要顶住大量攻击，他们的生命值或防具通常很强，并由其他队员负责恢复[1]。“坦克”的说法类似与现实世界中坦克的“步坦作战”，由坦克提供掩护，步兵等借助掩护来进攻。

电子游戏《魔兽世界》中的兽人。

Tanks: Leading the ChargeNo, we're not talking about those huge army vehicles. Well, yeah, some MUDs do have that kind of tank in them, but that's not what we're referring to. A tank in a typical fantasy MUD is the character who, alone or in a group, is always the first to attack a monster. A mob will direct its attacks at the first person that hits it, so in a group the tank is generally some character with enough hit points to withstand this punishment. Meanwhile the others hack safely away at the adversary — at least until the tank is killed and somebody else becomes the lucky target. Some MUDs now have monsters that can switch their attacks to other characters in the group, so the tank approach doesn't work as well with them. If you're a newbie and are asked to join a group, it's important that you understand this concept. Listen to the leader and only attack after she says, or you may end up tanking something that will toast your hide in seconds.
