‘Ice Barrier’ allows you to drop in giant blocks of ice which blocks enemies but also have a chilling effect so slow down enemies and can freeze over time.

Serina’s leader powers are very interesting and what gets things rolling. Bison has both interesting offense and defense. By the way, chill auras and effects basically slows enemy units down and slowly freezes them meaning movement is harder and if they stay there too long they will be completely frozen and susceptible to being shattered. Once upgraded the Bison can create a field of chill aura once planted. The attacks help to freeze the enemy units as well. The hero unit Bison is a strong, shielded vehicle that launches ice grenades (or bombs whatever) at all enemy unit types, doing good damage. They also come a with a missile that does damage but better used to shatter frozen enemies.

Frost ravens are basically ice nightingales that don’t heal but shoot a beam of ice to freeze enemies. They are good against infantry and structures. Now Cryo Troopers are exactly the same as Hell bringers but instead shoot ice. This applies for both enemy units and structures. If you shatter a frozen unit though, they will take a large amount of extra damage. When that meter gets full, that enemy unit is frozen and cannot attack or move. How this works is that as they attack the enemy a meter appears under their health and it fills up. All three are capable of freezing enemy units.

These new units are Cryo troopers, Frost ravens and the hero unit Bison. She brought both! She also has new units as well. Maybe a new concept or just crazy abilities. When we first knew that it was Serina we only wondered what she would bring to the game. That’s right, she just might be a bit too… cool (We see you laughing).

Serina is here! She is the AI from Halo Wars 1 but here… she is an ice AI. Halo Wars 2 latest new content brought a new character leader with it.
