Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising introduced several new elements to the series, significantly altering gameplay and strategic options. This guide covers the key additions that players will encounter.

• New Unit: The Neotank, developed by Black Hole, is the game's most powerful tank, surpassing the Medium Tank.
• New Terrain Features:
• Silos: These can be fired by Infantry or Mech units, dealing 3 damage to all units in a two-square radius. They are single-use per battle and effective against high-armor units.
• Pipelines and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that block movement, though gaps can be created by destroying pipe seams.
• Black Hole Weapons: Unique weapons like the Black Cannon are used exclusively by the Black Hole army and are not available to the player.
• New COs and CO Powers: Each force gained at least one new CO, with Black Hole receiving four additional commanders. All COs now have a standard CO Power and a Super CO Power, with Sturm being an exception, only having a Super CO Power. New COs include Hachi, Colin, Sensei, Jess, Hawke, Lash, Adder, and Flak.
