坦克 (電子遊戲)

坦克（Tank），又稱肉盾（meat shield），是電子遊戲的一種角色類型（詳見電子遊戲術語列表）。在即時戰略遊戲、角色扮演遊戲、格鬥遊戲和MUD中，坦克通過引離或吸引敵方攻擊的方式，保護其他角色或單位。這類角色通常要頂住大量攻擊，他們的生命值或防具通常很強，並由其他隊員負責恢復^[1]。「坦克」的說法類似與現實世界中坦克的「步坦作戰」，由坦克提供掩護，步兵等藉助掩護來進攻。

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.
