Questions about Blitz

Games Halo Wars Series
1

Hey - have some questions about Blitz - hopefully someone in the know can give answers to some or all of them.

  1. How many pre-set army starts are there per leader? Are they different between each leader of same faction?
  2. Is there friendly fire?
  3. Can you chose AI opponents for the standard Blitz mode (not the firefight)?
  4. Noticed some units were unable to pick up energy right after being summoned - is this because they had summoning fatigue (starting with half health)?
  5. Does playing Blitz against AI (both Blitz modes) reward card progression?
  6. Will future Blitz content involve new units that are not just re-stat and re-skinned units?
  7. Chances of more factions showing up for Blitz?
  8. How many maps are planned for Blitz?
  9. How many different cards will Blitz release with?
  10. Will future DLC and seasonpass leaders be added to the Blitz modes as well as the regular multiplayer modes?
  11. How many players can play together in Blitz Firefight?
  12. Will any Blitz modes be playable offline?

Thanks for any and all answers =)

Okay, I’ve been watching a lot of Blitz videos trying to gather what I can of information and now I have a few answers to some of my own questions:
2) No friendly fire
5) Rewards seem to be based off of daily challenges.

And for question 3) I read this on the main site:

Skirmish: Test your battle strategies against a range of AI difficulty levels. Fight across all the environments and multiplayer game modes with as many AI and co-op friends (or enemies!) as each mode will allow.

So I guess that means yes?

Would love some help with the other questions if anyone can. Thank you!

There is friendly fire if u use leader abilities like the Mac.

Does not seem like it. I have seen multiple videos of this happening and I believe the players own units and allied units were unaffected by the Mac Blast.

Simply guessing, on my part. Not firm answers by any measure.

5) Does playing Blitz against AI (both Blitz modes) reward card progression?

  • Most likely6) Will future Blitz content involve new units that are not just re-stat and re-skinned units?

  • Probably, via DLC7) Chances of more factions showing up for Blitz?

  • Possibly, alongside DLC10) Will future DLC and seasonpass leaders be added to the Blitz modes as well as the regular multiplayer modes?

  • I would say definitely, for anyone that buys-in

New question:

  1. How many players can you play together in Blitz Firefight? Hoping for 3
7

i haven’t heard of blitz firefight yet, is it a survival mode? survival modes are always fun in rts but usually only available if the game has stuff like mapmaking

8

Yes, it’s a survival mode

I am hearing a lot of talk about Blitz Firefight is only 2vsPvE and zero talk about being able to select AI opponents for Blitz PvP mode. I am really hoping this is not the case.

  1. How many pre-set army starts are there per leader? Are they different between each leader of same faction?
    Pretty sure at least 3 per faction, no idea on leaders.
  2. Is there friendly fire?
    Doubt it
  3. Can you chose AI opponents for the standard Blitz mode (not the firefight)?
    No, only in firefight
  4. Noticed some units were unable to pick up energy right after being summoned - is this because they had summoning fatigue (starting with half health)?
    No clue, but air units cannot pick up energy
  5. Does playing Blitz against AI (both Blitz modes) reward card progression?
    Playing any game mode gives cards, campaign, skirmish, firefight, and normal multiplayer
  6. Will future Blitz content involve new units that are not just re-stat and re-skinned units?
    If they add new units maybe. And also some legendary cards are unique to blitz so it’s possible.
  7. Chances of more factions showing up for Blitz?
    If they add more factions then most likely.
  8. How many maps are planned for Blitz?
    I’d expect a few at launch, but if it’s just cut down version of the normal maps then possibly at most 12.
  9. How many different cards will Blitz release with?
    No clue, but I’d expect around 100
  10. Will future DLC and seasonpass leaders be added to the Blitz modes as well as the regular multiplayer modes?
    Yea probably
  11. How many players can play together in Blitz Firefight?
    1 to 3? in firefight
    1 to 6? in Blitz multiplayer

If anyone else has any questions, please ask them here and I will edit them into the opening post.

Thanks to @Fl4ming J4ck for giving his opinions on the questions- I agree with most of them.
