Nightfall Guard

Key tank for Iron Horse Raid
A must-have tank build for the Iron Horse raid, especially the final boss. Shares 50% of your armor to keep teammates alive, tanks damage to safely collect keys from heavy enemies.
This build is specifically designed for the final boss, Morozova, in the Iron Horse raid, where both a key tank and a stagger tank are required. These two roles must work closely together and complement each other to ensure the team can handle all phases of the encounter effectively. The setup consists of a Key Tank using the Pointman build and a Stagger Tank using the Tardigrade Armor System. Together, this combination provides consistent protection and team support throughout the fight, ensuring stability during the most dangerous moments of the encounter. The Key Tank’s role is to safely pick up the key from the heavy enemy that spawns near the train while also absorbing heavy incoming fire. During the autocannon charge phase, the Key Tank must remain inside the designated circle and maintain aggro while protecting the team from pressure and disruption. In addition, the build provides strong team protection through the Bulwark Shield, which can block incoming damage not only for the user but also for nearby teammates. With defensive mods focused on damage reduction, survivability is significantly increased, allowing the tank to act as a reliable frontline anchor. This also helps less experienced or weaker players safely move through the middle area, as the tank effectively functions as a mobile shield. Overall, this setup is essential for the Iron Horse raid, ensuring team survival, smoother execution of mechanics, and consistent support throughout the fight against Morozova.
