His support skills, boosted by his Super ability that buffs the whole team, are very helpful for quick raid clearings. Essentially, Tan-2 is a vital member of any raid team.

This guide will help you choose the best Artifacts and Weapons for Tan-2, so you can focus your activities on leveling up his build efficiently.

Tan-2 Character Overview

We’ve covered the basics of Tan-2 already, but here’s a closer look at his abilities.

Tan-2’s playstyle revolves around switching between Duskstar and Dawnstar modes.

Ability	Description
Blessing of Dusk [Super]	This grants a powerful damage bonus to allies. Tan-2 leaps into the air and crashes down with his Parhelion Wing, creating an area that boosts the damage of allies within it.
Twilight Shift [Signature]	The core of Tan-2’s abilities. He can switch between Duskstar (damage-dealing, corrupt damage, enemies can’t heal) and Dawnstar (healing, supporting allies) modes.
Sunrise [Signature]	In Dawnstar mode, Tan-2 fires a healing orb that restores health to nearby allies.
Sunset [Signature]	In Duskstar mode, Tan-2 fires a fireball that inflicts corrupt damage and causes a burn effect over time, preventing enemies from healing.
Flare [Passive]	Tan-2’s passive is more intricate. He can build Flare energy in either Duskstar or Dawnstar mode, using his Scout or Sniper Rifle, which generate Flare every 0.1 seconds. When Flare is maxed, the next Sunrise or Sunset ability is enhanced, granting the Phosphorus effect that regenerates health.

Best Weapons for Tan-2

Tan-2 uses exclusively the Polaris Lance (Exotic Scout Rifle) and Borealis (Exotic Heavy Sniper Rifle). Both are locked to him, but can be obtained through random engrams or targeted exotic weapon drops.

Weapon	Description
Polaris Lance [Primary, Exotic]	An exotic Scout Rifle with key features:
	– Precision hits (headshots or precise area hits) return rounds to the magazine.
	– Four consecutive precision hits supercharge the next shot with Solar damage.
Borealis [Heavy, Exotic]	A versatile Heavy Sniper Rifle that can switch damage types among Arc, Solar, and Void. When breaking shields with matching elements, it reloads instantly and deals increased damage on subsequent shots.

Best Artifacts for Tan-2

While the full support artifact build is recommended, you can customize artifacts for more damage based on your raid strategy and team composition.

Slot	Artifact	Benefits
1	Inverted Guard	Provides a shield when your health drops below a certain point, improving survival, especially as you upgrade it.
2	Talisman Of Luxuriance	Grants an overshield to healed allies based on lost health, offering extra team support.
3	Talisman Of Unity	Healing an ally to full health grants a damage bonus temporarily. When combined with his healing or Super, this boosts damage against bosses.
4	Talisman Of Inspiration	Allows you to deal extra damage while continuously healing, synergizing well with teammates, especially if another Tan-2 is present.

Tan-2’s gameplay style is centered on switching modes to maximize support and damage output. Adjusting his artifacts and weapons depending on your raid needs will help you optimize his effectiveness on the field.
