The Tau Commander has the lowest health out of all the primary commanders. His low health and inability to attach to another squad means he must be kept behind the bulk of the Tau army and out of direct fire. Late in the game, the Tau Commander should be used solely for laying Snare Traps and fire support. In tier 2, the Tau Commander becomes an effective anti-vehicle unit with the Fusion Blaster and Missile Pods upgrades, but should be assisted by Stealth Suits upgraded with Fusion Blasters against numerous or durable vehicles. In the early game when facing off at range versus other troops, jump your commander, upgraded with the Flamer, behind the enemy lines to quickly destroy enemy morale.
The Snare Trap can also be laid on top of a Necron Lord, effectively making the Necron Lord think he got out of the wrong side of bed that morning.
However, Snare Traps are most effective in tandem with Kroot auxiliaries for example, the Commander can lay Snare Traps below Fire Warriors to counter an enemy's jump infantry. It is possible to use snare traps rather then Kroot Carnivores to keep melee units away from Fire Warriors, but this should be a temporary arrangement and it requires extra Plasma Generators. Enemies often target the snare traps, so a good tactic is throwing a Snare Trap behind the Commander, and then jumping behind it once the trap has gone invisible. It is important to keep the Tau Commander out of melee, which can be done by slowing enemies with Snare Traps and/or using jump packs to fall back and resume firing from safety.
The Tau Commander does very good ranged damage and is good against all targets with the appropriate upgrades. Commander Or'es'Ka led the Tau in their subjugation of the Kaurava System in Soulstorm. In Dark Crusade, Shas'o Kais was tasked with retaking the planet Kronus from its invaders. Encased in an experimental XV22 Battlesuit, he can use jump jets to quickly get into battle, ready to unleash a barrage of firepower from the many weapon systems his battlesuit can be outfitted with. The Tau Commander is the primary hero of the Tau Empire.
