How to play the Tank in Snay Strike: how Barrier works, when to go in first, how to cover the team and what to avoid as a beginner.

Tank
AbilityBarrierThe Tank is the team’s defender. His job is less about kills and more about creating safe space: going into a position first, holding a corner and letting teammates shoot from behind his protection.
How Barrier works
- The barrier appears in front of the Tank as soon as you press the ability button and turns with him.
- It protects against damage coming from the front.
- The barrier doesn’t get in your team’s way: the Tank and his teammates can shoot from behind it.
- The barrier lasts a limited time. After use, it needs time to recharge.
When the Tank shines
- Pushing into open ground where the enemy already holds a line of fire.
- Holding a passage or a corner while the team catches up.
- When a wounded teammate needs to fall back or wait for healing.
- When the enemy has a passage your team must cross under heavy fire.
Playing with the team
The barrier is most useful when someone stands behind it. Teammates can shoot straight through it, and a Medic nearby keeps the Tank and his teammates in the fight for longer. A Scout’s Scan shows which side the enemy is coming from — and so where to turn the barrier.
Medic — healing complements protection well.
Scout — recon shows where to face the barrier.
Beginner tips
- Turn towards the enemy before raising the barrier: it gives no cover from the sides or behind.
- Don’t spend the barrier “just in case” — save it for a push or for saving a teammate.
- When the barrier fades, get back to cover straight away.
- Move with the team: a Tank far ahead of everyone only protects himself.
