This system of prioritization is known as 'aggro' (aggression), and mastering it is the most critical mechanical skill in the game.

If you cannot reliably predict which target an enemy unit will choose to attack, you are relying entirely on luck.
The Concept of Sight Range
If multiple enemies are within that radius, the AI will almost always lock onto the absolute closest target mathematically.

If a massive, slow-moving tank is lumbering toward your tower, you do not need to place your defense directly in front of it.
Building-targeting units usually have larger sight ranges.They will ignore targets that are just a few tiles away.Timing must be faster against fast troops. The Geometry of Defense
Large tanks have massive hitboxes, meaning melee defenders can attack them from slightly further away than smaller troops.

This highly advanced technique, known as 'body blocking', requires absolute precision but can save hundreds of tower hitpoints.

Have a clanmate repeatedly send the same tank down the lane while you try to pull it to the center using different tiles.

Control the aggro, control the arena.
