Comprehensive guide for Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, covering plot details, new units like the Neotank, terrain features such as Silos and Pipelines, and new COs and CO Powers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Plot: The Allied Nations are recovering from the Cosmo Land war when the Black Hole army, bolstered by new weapons from Lash and led by Sturm, invades Macro Land. Flak, Lash, Adder, and Hawke are tasked with capturing the four nations. The Allied COs must unite to repel the invasion. Near the end, they confront Sturm at his base, facing the Death Ray. After destroying the Death Ray and disarming the missile, Sturm attempts to self-destruct. Hawke betrays and kills Sturm, taking over Black Hole and retreating with remaining forces.
Tips
  • New Unit: The Neotank is the strongest Tank in the game, developed by Black Hole.
  • New Features:
  • Silos: Fired by Infantry or Mech, they damage all units in a two-square radius (3 damage each) and can only be used once per battle. Useful against high-armor units.
  • Pipelines and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that block movement unless Pipe seams are destroyed.
  • Black Hole Weapons: Unique weapons like the Black Cannon, only usable by Black Hole.
  • New COs and CO Powers: Each Force gains at least one CO, with Black Hole gaining four. All COs now have a normal CO Power and a Super CO Power (Sturm only has a Super CO Power). New COs include Hachi (Orange Star), Colin (Blue Moon), Sensei (Yellow Comet), Jess (Green Earth), Hawke, Lash, Adder, and Flak (Black Hole).
