Halo Wars Tier List

The leaders you choose to side with throughout Halo Wars 2 will dictate your approach to strategy and combat, so it’s important to have a strong grasp of each leader and unit fundamental before jumping in.

As you play through the game, you’ll earn Leader Points, which can then be used to upgrade Leader Powers. Some of these powers are passive, while others are active.

The whole 'tech, turtle, rush' thing is a rock paper scissors idea that can be found in the first few pages of the Halo Wars 2 strategy guide. It might hold up at a low level, but once you start actually learning the game you can recognize the concept as what it is- training wheels.

While Leader Powers can help turn a battle back in your favour, you’re going to need a strong army around you to ensure you have the basics covered should things turn against you.

Each unit in Halo Wars 2 has its pros and cons, so it’s important to experiment and know what’s best for both your play style and the leader you have chosen. For a breakdown of ideal unit structure for each leader, check out our Leaders, Units and Powers guide.

In this guide, we’re going to break down every unit category in Halo Wars 2, and detail each specific unit and what upgrades are available for them.
