§ Breakdown [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

The tank never fully retreats — they step half a pace forward the instant a cooldown gets spent. Bait moves like Rein's Fire Strike, Sigma's Rock, or Sojourn's Disrupt feel like "fire it or lose value," and once burned, the team gets free pressure time. Same logic as a top Ball player: spacing and rhythm are everything.

When to Use [JA only — English translation pending]

ニュートラル時、または相手のシーズフェーズで自陣にスペースを残しつつ前を保ちたい時。Mauga, Ram, Reinhardtに特に多い。

Failure Modes [JA only — English translation pending]

出入りのリズムが固定化すると読まれてHookやSleepが刺さる。後ろのDPSが「タンクが下がった = 自分も下がる」と勘違いするとフォーメーションが崩壊。
