Raid. Salvage. Customize.
Those are the actions Nintendo names publicly. A new player can choose a play mode, select a difficulty, then learn the tank categories without relying on an unverified tier list.

Evidence boundary
A beginner guide should not pretend the public page is a full manual.
Nintendo's listing does not publish exact controls, enemy tables, map routes, optimal builds, or a guaranteed progression order. Those details stay unconfirmed here until a first-party source supports them.
