The best Tank build in Enshrouded utilizes skills from the Barbarian, Warrior, and Tank trees primarily while also taking a few nodes from other trees.

Best Tank Gear

Best Tank weapons, armor, rings, and food buffs in Enshrouded

Overall, the best armor set for this build is the Radiant Paladin set, as it gives solid defensive stats and also increases your melee critical strike chance, which is extremely helpful when combined with the Battle Heal skill.

As for rings, anything that grants defensive stats will do, with Ring of the Ancients being my top choice.

For weapons, use any melee, single-handed weapon that’s as high level as possible.
