Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising introduces several new elements to the battlefield. This section details the new units, terrain features, and commanders that players will encounter.

New Unit

The game features a new powerful unit: the Neotank, developed by Black Hole. It surpasses the strength of the older Medium Tank.

New Features

Several new terrain features and weapons are introduced:

  • Silos: These can be fired by Infantry or Mech units, dealing 3 damage to all units within a two-square radius. They can only be used once per battle.
  • Pipeline and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that obstruct movement. Units can pass through gaps or by destroying weaker Pipe seams.
  • Black Hole Weapons: The Black Hole army utilizes unique weapons like the Black Cannon, which are exclusive to them.

New COs and CO Powers

Advance Wars 2 adds new Commanding Officers (COs) to each force, with Black Hole gaining four additional ones. All COs now have both a standard CO Power and a Super CO Power, with the exception of Sturm, who only has a Super CO Power.
