Tackle is a combat maneuver that allows a warrior to hurl themselves at a target and attempt to knock it down. When a tackle is successful, the target will also receive a roundtime penalty and possibly hitpoint damage. The target's minimum RT penalty is 5 sec. at endroll 101 to a maximum of 20 sec. at endroll 202. Added HP damage only occurs with endrolls of 200 and greater. The minimum HP damage at endroll 200 is 3 and increases to a maximum of 50 at endroll 340.

The tackle maneuver can also be trained in the Warrior Guild.
