They are strong versus buildings and infantry (obviously), weak to vehicles, and can’t engage aircraft. Returning from the original Halo Wars, Hellbringers are a cheap anti-infantry unit with a big flamethrower and a lovely Scots accent.

In single-player and multiplayer, they’re available from the start (tier zero), but can be upgraded at tier one to throw grenades, and at tier two you can add a combat technician to their squad (he can repair vehicles and carries a rocket launcher). The staple of the UNSC military, Marines are core infantry and moderately capable against everything in all game modes. You’ll command the UNSC’s armies in the single-player campaign, and have the choice of leading them or their adversaries, The Banished, in multiplayer. They’re represented in Halo Wars 2 by the Spirit of Fire, a colony ship refitted for military purposes and capable of sustaining an army. The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) is an agency of the Unified Earth Government, and humanity’s military presence in space.
