Super Units - Variety

Games Halo Wars Series
1

I love Halo Wars mostly due to the variety that comes with each leader. That being said, with all of the unique units and heroes that come out each month, one of the most disappointing things is that there are still only two super units. The Halo universe is filled with a wide variety of ships, vehicles, and other outrageously awesome things. I was wondering what you all felt would be some cool super units to see in Halo Wars 2.

My personal opinion:
UNSC - I would love to see the Mammoth appear on the battlefield. I expect it would simply serve as a massive tank to soak up damage. Its weapons would be the turrets loaded onto it and I think it would also make sense that the Mammoth could hold units that could fire out of it, but its main damage would come from the massive cannon on the back that would do high damage, but at a very slow rate of fire. Basically it would be a massive version of Jerome’s Mastodons (except actually useful). It would also be cool to see it function like an Elephant from HW1 and have it be able to function as a mobile barracks and maybe make basic vehicles like jackrabbits and warthogs.
Banished - The Lich would be a very cool unit to show off (especially a banished version). The Lich would function as an airborne Mammoth, allowing units to enter it and fire. The main damage would be from it’s Scarab-like cannon while still being able move relatively quickly across the battlefield. It would be able to create troops and deploy them through Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapaces that function like ODST drop pods that can damage enemies upon impact. I know this unit concept seems a bit complex, but I would be alright if only a few of these features were available on it.

Share your ideas!

pretty sure ultimate unit are just decimus and the retriever sentinel. don’t u mean super units? either way I agree that there should be more

I like this. And even though its reusing an Ultimate they should have let Sgt.Johnson have a H2 Scarab.

Mammoth and Lich need to be a thing!

Good catch, had to go back and fix that.

Maybe have different ultimate units but leave the supers to just condor and scarab

Covenant: perhaps a Seraph ship or a mobile AA Tyrant cannon (the ones from Reach but with mobility)
UNSC: A Rhino tank (like from HW1)
Of course these would have to be balanced and function a bit different than their known forms.

Shipmaster Let’Volir really ought to have a Lich as his uber unit, not the generic Banished Scarab. It would fit well with his general theme of being mobility-oriented, as well as complementing the lore of the character (being a capital-scale shipmaster and all).

Why the Lich isn’t a Ultimate Unit is beyond me. I guess we got too much air.

I’m not sure how the mammoth would work but a Lich bombardment as a leader power would be great. As for super units I think the scarab and the condor is enough however super units like the Retriever and decimas are very good. Should they add more? Only for the new leaders as a leader power. Id also like to see them be original and not the H2 scarab.

I want a giant lekgola crated super unit, it would be the super unit that’s infantry

Ultimate Units and Hero Units are the kinds of things we should gets new skins for too.
