Hunter Captain and Skits

Games Halo Wars Series
1

An Amazing looking Hero with the addition of having to skits attatched to him makes him look sick… but thats it so far.

Before I start… yes garrisons are broken, we already know this.

His attack is OK
Taunt is a little underwhelming
He is to slow…

Ive been using Colony alot since his release and have found that the Hero Unit is underpowered without veterancy. At level 3 he is a beast with amazing damage absorbtion, but it feels like the power he gains from each level is to great… i wont attack using the Hunter Captain until he is Vet 2 atleast.

But! All hero units are ridiculous at Vet 3 anyway.

The Hunter Captain is to weak to begin with, personally I think he is one of the weakest Heros to begin with. All i can suggest is maybe increase his health by a few points (since he is supposed to be a tank) and maybe increase his movement speed by 20%. You may say that he is OP because he could have engineers healing him all the time… the answer is simple ‘aim for the engineers’.

Skits are to expensive for what they are when compared to a ghost or chopper and should have their cost reduced to 150/10

And another thing… The Vet skill should be available at teir 2 not 4…

Your thoughts?

I think he is about perfectly balanced for the most part. Yeah garrisons are a problem, but any decent player should be prepared for that… I mean if you know your enemy is colony, you know they’ll have a Hunter Captian at some point. Snipers are almost a must against colony as well, maybe not an excessive amount.

He is heavy. But he has plenty of health to waddle his way away to banished troops. Anymore hp would make him well over op… he needs to be protected, not a single unit should be able to destroy everything.

Its all all about how you play it. He’s a well rounded unit.

Edit: skitterers are annoying as all hell… no need to have more of them than there already are… haha

I think he’s pretty good. A bit too slow for my liking though.

Yea my biggest gripe is his speed. Can’t really taunt and tank when he’s too slow to get in range of enemies.
