Tankier

Tankier refers to a characteristic or state of being more durable or resilient, particularly in the context of video games, armor, or physical objects. In video games, a "tankier" character or build is one that can withstand more damage before being defeated. This is often achieved through higher health points, damage reduction abilities, or defensive armor. The term implies a trade-off, as characters focused on being tankier might sacrifice offensive power or speed.

Beyond video games, "tankier" can describe anything that is more heavily armored or robust. For instance, a vehicle described as tankier would likely possess thicker plating and be more resistant to impacts or weapons fire. Similarly, an object that is tankier is built to endure rough handling or environmental stresses. The concept emphasizes survivability and resistance to damage over other attributes. The adjective is derived from the word "tank," referring to an armored fighting vehicle, which is the archetypal example of a tankier object.
