Explore the new features introduced in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, including Silos, Pipelines, Black Hole weapons, and new COs and CO Powers.

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising introduced several new elements to the series. This guide covers the new terrain features, weapons, and commanders that players will encounter.

New Features:

• Silos: These rocket-launching structures, deployable by Infantry or Mech units, deal 3 damage to all units within a two-square radius. They can only be used once per battle and are effective against high-armor units.
• Pipeline and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that obstruct movement. Units can pass through gaps or by destroying weaker Pipe seams.
• Black Hole Weapons: Exclusive to the Black Hole faction, these include unique armaments like the Black Cannon, which players cannot utilize.

New COs and CO Powers:

• The game features new Commanding Officers for each faction, with Black Hole receiving four additional COs.
• All COs now have a standard CO Power and a Super CO Power, with Sturm being the exception, only having a Super CO Power.
• New COs include Hachi (Orange Star), Colin (Blue Moon), Sensei (Yellow Comet), Jess (Green Earth), and Hawke, Lash, Adder, and Flak (Black Hole).
