Learn how to keep your units alive and healed outside of combat in Halo Wars 2. This guide covers essential strategies for maintaining your army's strength between engagements.
This section of the guide focuses on how to keep your units healed and ready for battle even when not actively engaged in combat. While Halo Wars 2 doesn't have a direct 'heal outside of battle' mechanic for all units in the same way some other RTS games do, there are several ways to ensure your forces are at full strength.
Walkthrough
- 1Base Healing: Most UNSC and Banished infantry units can be healed by returning them to their respective production buildings (Barracks for infantry, Factory for vehicles). Once inside, they will slowly regenerate health.
- 2Support Units: Certain support units, like the UNSC's Medic or the Banished's Heal Drone, are specifically designed to provide healing to nearby units. These can be deployed strategically to keep your army topped up during downtime or while moving between objectives.
- 3Reconstruction: For damaged buildings, the Repair Bay (UNSC) or the Repair Bay (Banished) can be used to restore their health. This is crucial for maintaining your base's defenses and production capabilities.
- 4Unit Replacement: In some cases, the most efficient way to 'heal' is to replace heavily damaged units with new ones. This is especially true for cheaper units where the cost of healing might approach the cost of replacement.
Tips
- Always try to pull back damaged units to your base or a safe area where they can regenerate health or be healed by support units.
- Keep an eye on your support units' abilities and cooldowns to ensure continuous healing.
- Prioritize healing critical units or those that are expensive to replace.
- Understand the regeneration rates of different units and buildings to better manage your army's upkeep.
