These are buildings that are all constructed around a base. Structures form the backbone of your economy and unit production. Structures, tech levels, and unit upgrades Good usage of Leader powers can win battles, so make sure to use them when you feel the time is right. From there, you can choose which ones to use. Leader powers and abilities are accessible by holding left trigger. For example, if you like stealth and surprise attacks, the Shipmaster would be a good choice because of his cloaking and teleporting bonuses.You should pay attention to what your selected Leader offers in terms of unique benefits (as well as hero units). Generally, you'll want to pick the Leader that best suits your style of play.

Understanding what every single leader has in their tool belt is something you should know, so make sure you read the description of each leader in the menus. For example, Captain Cutter is the only leader capable of using ODSTs, while Atriox has the power to make his units temporarily invincible. Each Leader possesses different benefits and abilities. Leaders are the commanders of the UNSC or the Banished that the player controls in each game. However, the enemy can take them from you, so they must be protected.Īn important aspect of Halo Wars 2 is understanding the concept of Leaders. These will generate power for everyone on your team, lessening the need for more power structures. To harvest a large amount of power quickly, you'll need to capture Power Nodes that are spread throughout the map. However, the power buildings generate power much slower than their supply building counterparts. Similar to supplies, you can find power crates around the map, and you can also make Power Generators (UNSC) or Power Extractors (Banished) to produce power. In addition, they can be produced from Supply Pad (UNSC) or Harvester (Banished) structures on your bases. Supplies can be found around the map in blue crates, which units can collect. There are two types of resources that you need to produce and manage in order to effectively create an army: supplies and power. Now that you know about all of the unit types in Halo Wars 2, let's go over the way in which you obtain them.

Some hero units are better than others in certain situations (for example, Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee is great at killing infantry, while the Hunter Captain is strong against vehicles) but all of them are useful assets on the field. Every hero has special abilities that make both them and their allied units stronger than usual, and some possess some passive abilities as well. They are independent of the standard population limit, and as such, every army can always have a hero unit in it, regardless of whether the population is full or not.

Hero units are special types of units that are unique to each Leader.
