Is Tan-2 good?

Tan-2 can flex between dealing damage and supporting the team, which gives a squad extra flexibility mid-fight. His overlap with another top Support comes down to a trade-off: stronger healing and buffs, but a smaller effective range.

In PvE those sniper precision shots translate into serious boss damage, though in PvP snipers only pay off if you can consistently land your shots. That high ceiling kit is why he's rated S.
