Special attack- Plasma grenade throw

Learn how to effectively use the Plasma Grenade throw special attack with Jackals in Halo Wars 2. Master this unit's abilities and upgrades for tactical advantage.

Alright, let's talk about the Jackals and their special attack. These guys are pretty neat because they're a step up from the basic Grunts, actually being able to use more advanced gear. They're great for taking out enemy infantry, and you can even kit them out with sniper gear later on!

Jackal Stats & Creation:

• Population Cost: 1
• Tech Level Required: 0
• Created From: Hall
• Cost: 100 Supplies

Jackal Upgrades:

• Upgrade Level 1: Defense Gauntlet - This gives your Jackals a basic shield to help them soak up some damage. Just a heads-up, these shields can break if they take too much punishment.
• Upgrade Level 2: Beam Rifle - Equips the Jackals with beam rifles, which deal extra damage to your targets.
• Upgrade Level 3: Supreme Gauntlet - This beefs up the shield gauntlet so it's much tougher and won't break as easily.

Jackal Special Attack: Plasma Grenade Throw

This is where the Jackals get really interesting! While the source text doesn't go into super detail on *how* to use it or its specific effects, it's important to know that Jackals *do* have a special attack. Typically, this would involve them lobbing a plasma grenade at enemy units or structures. Keep an eye out for the prompt to use this ability when your Jackals are in range of a good target. It's a great way to soften up groups of enemies or deal some splash damage.
