Editing Shadowsun (section)

[[File:Primaris Shadowsun.png|thumb|right|350px|Looks like she finally got upgraded from her old Prototype suit. Buy two, one for her unhelmeted and one helmeted if you are a fan of [[Shas'O Kais]]]]
Shadowsun spent several editions being rather irrelevant, since she was originally designed for the ''Cities of Death'' supplement and was specialized for getting in close and frying things, then jumping around walls and buildings to avoid getting charged. Naturally, when there ''weren't'' walls and buildings, she suffered from being the one Tau model that wanted to be ''closer'' to her enemies. With the new codex, though, she got a bunch of buffs, mostly being able to actually join squads of other suits and make them invisible as well (which is now Shrouded and Stealth for a trolltastic +3 bonus to any cover or 4+ in the open) and an ability that grants re-rolled 1s to nearby squads, that make her a much more attractive choice. (Gee, I wonder [[Riptide|what popular Tau model desperately wants to avoid rolling 1s...]])

===8th Edition===
[[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Tau(8E)#Special_Characters|Here's her Tactics entry]].

She doesn't directly buff Stealth Suits, but still synergises with them well - they can catch wounds for her on a 2+ if they're nearby, she can bring two shield drones for wound catching that have a 3++ to make everyone a bit more durable and a command drone to improve one unit's accuracy, and she's got all the same infiltration and camouflage abilities they do. Her dual Fusion Blasters also add a lot of punch to an infiltrating XV25 squad (and on top of that she can declare '''Kauyon''' twice per battle to reroll misses for nearby units at the cost of preventing all movement for even more firepower), but she is pretty darn expensive - in fact, she costs slightly more points than most Stealth Suit squads all by herself. If you're going heavy on the XV25s though, you'll probably still want her along.
