Strength, Honor, and high HP; these are the characteristics you look for in a tank champion in Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.
They are the first line of defense and while they don't do damage, they sure can take it.
Some of these characters you may recognize if you're a diehard DnD fan. Let's look at the top 5 bible-thumping, muscle-pumping, and protein powder chugging tank heroes in Idle Champions.
5. Nayeli
You may remember Nayeli from the cover of Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, she's on the far right holding her trademark greatsword.
Nayeli Goldflower is a paladin without a lord, on the constant hunt for demons and anyone who would associate themselves with the infernal. She worships Tyr, the god of justice. Nayeli is a tank/support champion who works best in front of a formation and buffing the units behind.

- Basic Attack - Swing: Nayeli cleaves all targets near the closest enemy.
- Alignment: Lawful Good

4. Evelyn
Evelyn may be forgiving, but her battleaxe isn't.
The caring and hopelessly optimistic paladin of the waffle crew is known for being first in battle thanks to her winged shoes. Her devotion to her deity Lathander and her kindness are her greatest strengths.

3. Gromma
Don't be fooled by her age, Gromma is one kick-butt grandma.
Gromma is a wise old turtle, who has decided to explore the world and to find out more about its strange inhabitants. A druid, Gromma carries a battle-worn spear and attacks with the elements. Gromma is a unique champion because she is a DPS, tank, and support champion defined by her specializations.

2. Aila
You wouldn't expect an elf barbarian, but DnD thrives on the unexpected and peculiar.
Even as a young wild elf, Aila knew she possessed a power that others didn’t. She grew into her power as a barbarian and now travels with the Heroes of Aerois. Aila is a tank and support champion, don’t worry too much about her placement except for the front because for the most part, she doesn’t give out formation buffs.

Details
- Basic Attack - The Howling Gale: Aila attacks the nearest enemy with her warhammer, the Howling Gale, knocking them back slightly.

Sentry also has a floating orb named Echo for a companion, Echo provides buffs depending on what specialization you choose.
Sentry is an ancient warforged, after having her kingdom destroyed, she powered down. Despite being thrust into this new world, Sentry is devoted to keeping her friends safe in honor of the kingdom she lost. Sentry is a tank and support champion and does best in the front where she can buff the group based on whether or not she’s been attacked.
What’s Great
- Gives a buff to the formation if she’s in front
