Stat Impact

What Tankbuster actually gives you

Tankbuster delivers 50 bonus health and 14s charge-up time. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Tankbuster

Tankbuster performs strongest on Kelvin (57.0% WR across 95,685 games), Dynamo (55.8% WR across 252,866 games), and Victor (54.9% WR across 9,105 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Tankbuster the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Tankbuster shows up most on Mina (646,215 games), Lash (559,605 games), and The Doorman (386,685 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
