    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • For the Frozen Drainer Tank, try to keep it away from as many survivors as possible. That way you'll be able to reduce the amount of draining the tank can do to nearby survivors.
    • If you need to be on the move when aggroing the tank outdoors, have the survivors spread out so that not all of them can be affected by the slow effects given by the tank.
