Tanking and playing for the first time (help) Options

[craftomega]

I am wondering, what extra items do I want to take as a tank, like slap patches, drugs?

What kind of stratagy in combat should I use?

Yes I plan on upgrading my edge; I will just have to survive for a few games without it.

Here is my tank.
