	***A criminally-under-used unlocked-from-start weapon that does only modest damage, but has a huge area of effect, ignores cover, and has no accuracy loss when fired on the run. The Flamer is excellent for killing packs of mooks, especially cover-camping shits like Eldar Guardians and Grav Platform Teams. It also makes a great weapon when using the Tau Commander's jets; the Tau Commander will start firing even before he hits the ground, giving a truly unpleasant surprise to anyone that happens to be near his landing zone. Perhaps most importantly, the Flamer is one of the only guns that the Tau Commander will reliably try to fire in close-combat, so don't be put off by the Flamer's relatively poor damage. Works especially well when twin-linked, since the damage loss from twin-linking is virtually nil.		***A criminally-under-used unlocked-from-start weapon that does only modest damage, but has a huge area of effect, ignores cover, and has no accuracy loss when fired on the run.

			***Another powerful choice is to stack a single flamer with the "heavy" battle suit and iridium shield. Double heavy jumping on a horde of light infantry will almost instantly kill them making it take less than a second to finish off the whole pack and the immense health and armor values make for a reasonably survivable build. Assuming you haven't mastered kiting yet in which case the lighter armors and their superior jump range will serve you better for longevity.

	***This shoulder-fired dingus is unlocked at level 12. Costing 15 energy a volley, the Anti-Armor Missile Pod fires off a trio of anti-armor missiles that are extremely effective against enemy heavy armor and vehicles. One of the more unilaterally fun weapon options, it gives Shas'Os using anti-infantry weapons some serious anti-vehicle punch. It's often compared to the Lord General's High-Powered Shot, and with good reason; they're both uniquely good priority target killers, though spreading it across three warheads does have its disadvantages. Note that the Anti-Armor Missile Pod does have a blast radius (albeit a ''very'' small one) and IS capable of friendly fire, so be careful when firing on targets trying to melee your allies, but timed properly you can wipe out those three Zoanthropes sticking a little too close together. Flanking enemies in melee before taking the shot will usually remove the danger.		***This shoulder-fired dingus is unlocked at level 12.

	***This accessory, unlocked at level 14, increases the accuracy of the Crisis Suit's ranged weapon by 25% (of its current value). This is ''worthless'' for the Airbursting Fragmentation Projector and Flamer, which will generally always hit what they are firing at, and of questionable value for the Burst Cannon, but is a magnum upgrade for the Plasma Rifle and Fusion Blaster, making them infinitely more reliable and, in the latter case, much more worth using. It actually amplifies both weapons DPS considerably due to how big the accuracy buff is. Combine with Networked Weapon Interface and Command armor for a truly rapetastic damage output. If you're going to use the Plasma Rifle or ''especially'' the Fusion Blaster, strongly consider using this!		***This accessory, unlocked at level 14, increases the accuracy of the Crisis Suit's ranged weapon by 25% (of its current value).

	\|details=Simply massive amounts of ranged damage to Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry and Armor.

Stimulant injectors help keep you alive in case you get low. The Heavy gun drone is just icing on the cake and adds additional damage plus helps draw fire away from you. Strategy: Stay mobile. No Heavy trait means you have good jump range. Use this to your advantage. Keep moving, ideally getting in cover at your next jump position and use your plasma's range to kill everything. Don't let melee get close. The downsides to this build: No anti-armor missiles (but you don't really need them with 2x Plasmas @ 93% accuracy with +15% command buff). Tanks die in just a few volleys plus you save energy that can be saved for gun drone or jet pack. Again, use and abuse your mobility and kill everything with your range. I have never seen anyone else using this and I do not understand why. Getting 500-730+ kills is fun and you pretty much NEVER miss with both plasmas thanks to Targeting Clusters. PS: If your ally Tau Commander has Command armor already, you could replace your Command armor for Armored for extra 50 HP + 10 Armor plus stronger jump but you lose a bit of range on jump. Could also do Agile for 25 more HP and additional Jump range at the cost of 20 armor. The jump range could be helpful but again this is only if you already have an ally Tau with Command armor.		\|details=Simply massive amounts of ranged damage to Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry and Armor.

	Using the Shield Drone will make mid game against Greenskins and other pests a bit jump-heavy but on wave 19 it really helps against the tons of ranged damage coming at you. The Shield Drone is also really awesome if other players have lower levels or support builds as it protects them too.

			Since you aren't using missiles, coolant injectors are wasted on this build. You're better off with Nano Technology; 50% more life regen makes you a lot more resilient.

	***A classic from the first Dawn of War - and one you start with, no less - Snare Mines let you place, for 10 energy, a mine that, when triggered by an enemy getting too close, explodes, slowing the enemy considerably for several seconds. Compared to the Mekboy's similar Booby Traps ability, the Snare Mine costs less, only places one mine, and each mine has a blast radius. However, unlike Booby Trap, Snare Mine's effect lasts quite a while, and effectively immobilizes those effected by five seconds (they ''can'' still move a bit (and attack), but their movement is pretty much crippled). Better, it effects vehicles whereas Booby Traps do not. Absolutely worth your time and one of the most versatile wargear options the Tau Commander gets.		***A classic from the first Dawn of War - and one you start with, no less - Snare Mines let you place, for 10 energy, a mine that, when triggered by an enemy getting too close, explodes, slowing the enemy considerably for several seconds.
