    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you want to prevent yourself from suffering stuns after aggroing the tank to you over having a chance to block tank rock and punch stuns with a buff enhancement, you can swap out the Unstoppable Buff for the |V| Protective Bag Buff.
    • If you want to prevent any nearby survivors from the tank being able to inflict stuns over transferring stuns attained by your bodyguarded survivor to yourself with a buff enhancement, you can swap out the |E| Bodyguard Buff for the |V| Enraging Waves Buff.
    • If you prefer to prevent stuns/electrocution from affecting you with activating berserk over helping stunned incapacitated survivors and giving them benefits, you can swap out the |E| Courage Buff for the |E| Berserk Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the Special First Aid Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Electric/Thunder Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • If you know that the tank has not used his electric shock ability yet, be sure to try getting everyone away from the tank, then aggro it and protect yourself using |V| Enraging Waves + |V| Protective Bag Buffs. It should ensure that no bad situation happens.
    • If in an area of water, try to aggro the Electric/Thunder Tank away into a dry area where it's easier to deal with them. If you do see any survivor get stunned/electrocuted, be sure to heal those bad status effects off using Special First Aid or |E| Cleansing Pills Buffs.
