Its already hilarious such effort defending Benkei gone in no less than three seconds with him wrote "He's not meant for said role" let alone consider Mashu as bad tanker. LOL.

Mashu is a tanker, and she is still the best tanker on the game. I'm not sure how could providing party with strong damage mitigation coupled with taunt and targetable invul. make her bad or not qualified as best tanker.

As I wrote, the problem with Fionn is that it take too long to use tank feature of him with his kit not assisting much. Even at skill level 10, I won't consider him as definite tanker but under Arts comp. that capable of reducing his CD further; his taunt effectively became luxury of Arts team.

Benkei idea is you mitigated damage with skill seal, NP seal, stun. With the taunt come to play when opponent lose their option. That first, he's meant for said role.

Then, as I said his problem is the fact that most of said feature is chance-based making it questionable even at skill level Lv. 10 given if all failed, his only remaining "feature" is taunt; asking you to invest further with GA, CC and/or CE to buff his debuffs chance to cover his shortcoming that considerably expensive with little return compare to other Bronze tanker (George, Leonidas).

Leonidas and Vlad can only defend their allies for short time, is true. However they bring push that could lead to faster clear, complementing their short duration of being tank.

Leonidas have Buster buff and instant stars, coupled with Guts. Vlad have stars from Innocent Monster, NP buff of Military Tactics, and Protection of Faith that could gave 20% ATK for three turns at max. 5 CD.
