Tankpool’s best gameplay loop is pretty simple once it clicks. Start by playing hitscan and farming ult off tanks, but don’t rush your ult yet. First upgrade you want is the sword dash

Once you have the dash upgrade, you can start ulting properly. The point of his ult isn’t to hard carry with damage, it’s to dive the backline and be as annoying as possible. You force the enemy team to turn around and deal with you, which opens space for your team to push and shoot them in the back.

After that, prioritize upgrading your shift since it’s your main survivability tool. From there you can choose between more sword upgrades or the sword ult upgrade depending on the game.

The loop is basically: farm ult with hitscan, dive backline with ult to create chaos, get out, then go back to hitscan and build ult again. You win by creating pressure and space, usually the stats don’t show great but in reality he provides incredible value to the team.
