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

• New Unit: The Neotank, developed by Black Hole, is the strongest Tank in the game.
• New Terrain Features:
  • Silos: Small rockets fired by Infantry or Mech units that deal 3 damage to all units in a 2-square radius, usable once per battle.
  • Pipelines and Pipe seams: Impenetrable pipes that block movement, with weaker Pipe seams that can be destroyed to create gaps.
  • Black Hole Weapons: Various new weapons used exclusively by the Black Hole army, such as the Black Cannon.
• New COs and CO Powers: All forces gained new COs, with Black Hole recruiting four additional commanders. All COs now have a normal CO Power and a Super CO Power, with Sturm being the exception who only has 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).
