So I was an Avid player of Halo wars 1 so I am confused at how covenant base shields work now. In the old game you built a shield generator and it provided another health bar essentially for your base. In this game instead of the shield generator being part of the base it is a turret slot. Howerver no shield health bar is apparent anywhere and while I throw armies of air infantry and tanks at bases the only thing that seems to lower the shields is a mac blast. However the cooldown is imensly long and it is almost impossible to steam roll bases because of this. Is there another trick to taking out the new shields or is it just OP. I assume I’m missing something jbecause if i’m not it seems like a terrible design flaw. Any help would be appreciated.
Attack the shield generator turret thing.
I was confused too. It could be a bug that’s causing it to not show up. I thought I saw a health bar when I hovered over the main base but I’m not sure.
I tried attacking the shield generator but the shield absorbed the damage even when i targeted it. Luckily most people are new to halo wars so I don’t see a lot of people building them but since its happened to me I just have been playing covenant and building one on all my bases and the same thing has happened that I first encountered. When I get attacked my base and turrets take no damage unless a mac blast is fired. Starting to think its a bug cause I haven’t lost a game since I adopted this strategy. Waiting till I encounter a game where another player does the same strategy because as far as i can tell the Covenant can’t answer their own shields lol.
