Like in ''Halo Wars'', players in multiplayer pick a leader to play as, each of whom have a set of unique "Leader Powers" and units. Leaders for the UNSC include [[James Cutter/Gameplay|Captain Cutter]], [[Ellen Anders/Gameplay|Professor Anders]], [[Isabel/Gameplay|Isabel]], and [[John Forge/Gameplay|Sergeant Forge]], with four characters, [[Morgan Kinsano]], [[Avery Johnson/Gameplay|Sergeant Johnson]], [[Jerome-092/Gameplay|Jerome-092]] and [[Serina/Gameplay|Serina]], added post-launch as [[downloadable content]]. [[Atriox/Gameplay|Atriox]], [[Decimus/Gameplay|Decimus]], and [[Let 'Volir/Gameplay|Let' Volir]] serve as the leaders for the Banished faction, with five new characters, [[Colony/Gameplay|Colony]], [[Ripa 'Moramee/Gameplay|Ripa 'Moramee]], [[Yapyap/Gameplay|Yapyap]] the Destroyer, [[Pavium]], and [[Voridus]], added post-launch as DLC. However each of the leaders is now able to use the same super units, unlike ''Halo Wars'' where each leader had their own super unit unique to them. Each leader has their own privileges; for example, Professor Anders can deploy two types of super unit at one time (G81 Condor Gunship and Retriever Sentinel) or Yapyap, who can recruit Cannon Fodder without using any resources. | Like in ''Halo Wars'', players in multiplayer pick a leader to play as, each of whom have a set of unique "Leader Powers" and units.

Leader powers are obtained by scavenging resources, building and upgrading your base(s), killing enemy units and capturing power nodes. | ||
Unlike ''Halo Wars'', where each leader had only one leader power, each leader on ''Halo Wars 2'' now has a set of 10 unique leader powers split into 5 tiers, either passive or active. Player must assign leader points to unlocked leader powers in order to unlock the next tier of leader powers. This gives the player a new challenge, as leader powers now no longer can be upgraded from the war council / armory and player have to assign leader points wisely to gain the advantage and win the battle-or, in terminus firefight, survive more waves. | Unlike ''Halo Wars'', where each leader had only one leader power, each leader on ''Halo Wars 2'' now has a set of 10 unique leader powers split into 5 tiers, either passive or active.
