Stupidest, yet probably one of the best ideas ever.
I’ll assume it’ll be the former until proven otherwise.
The idea: Usne as a hero unit in Halo Wars.
Okay, I’ll wait until your laughter stops…
Main Attack: Hammer > Sword > Dual swords
Passive Abilities:
The Aura (constant effect) : Boosts performance of units. Can be upgraded all the way up to the size of a standard base.
Rush (Y-activated) : Temporarily boosts Usne’s speed to allow him to outrun most units. At first, he can outrun marines. Next upgrade, he can outrun tanks. After the last one, he can outrun Warthogs. Full upgrade will basically make him the fastest unit in the game, even faster than a boosting Banshee, probably.
Super Unit: … Uh… Hijacked Sentinels?
Now then, the problem is that he sides with no one… Bummer. Yep, definitely a stupid idea.
Wait! I know! Jakob!
Main Attack: SMG (short range, low power) > Battle Rifle (med range, med power) > Sniper Rifle (long range, high power)
Passive Abilities:
Time-Slow (Y-activated) : Slows down time to a near-stop, allowing him to take more shots at units, with more damage and more accuracy. After all, they’re not moving targets and they’re not shooting back. Unfortunately, it slows down every unit except Jakob. That includes Jakob’s user’s units. It also depletes Jakob’s health. Double-edged sword, eh?
Blood Regeneration (constant effect) : Usage of his ability has allowed him to become tolerant of blood loss, and even developed a quickened blood recovery rate. Leave him out of battle and he will heal by himself. There’s no need for the UNSC’s heal ability.
Super Unit: … Actually, I can’t really reveal the characters I planned to use here…
… Okay, are you guys still laughing?
It actually would be wicked if modders actually made custom heroes in Halo Wars, eh?
Actually, what if people started making… nevermind, actually.
