Editing GBU-1105 bomb

The cryo bomb is a [[leader power]] available for [[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', costing {{HWResources|600}} and requiring {{HWTech|1}} to use. It serves as Anders' replacement for [[James Cutter|Cutter's]] [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC Blast]] and [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge's]] [[Mark 208 bomb|Carpet Bomb]]. Of the three, the cryo bomb is the most complex, requiring the player to call it in via Shortsword bombing run (similar to the Carpet Bomb and [[XGBU-302 bomb|Disruption Bomb]]). Once called in, a single bomb is dropped, freezing the area around it but not dealing any direct damage. Units caught in the bomb's blast are slowed or outright frozen in place depending on the upgrade tier of the bomb and the unit's strength, while affected aircraft are either slowed or, if frozen, outright drop out of the sky to its destruction. If a production building like a [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]] or [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]] is caught within the cryo bomb's range, the building will pause production for the period of time, or in the Supply Pad's case, incoming supplies will stop.  

The cryo bomb is best used when a player wants to freeze their opponent's aircraft and Uber units. This leader power must be backed up with troops because unless the units are heavily damaged, the attack will not kill them. In campaign mode, along with working well against Covenant air units, it is highly effective against the [[Flood]]'s [[Flood swarm form|swarm]] and [[Flood bomber form|bomber forms]] too. While a cryo bomb won't kill them, it freezes the Flood in place, opening them up to a brief unimpeded attack before they unfreeze.

The cryo bomb can be enhanced three times from the [[UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory]] to make its effect last longer and to increase the number of air units capable of being destroyed. At its hightest tier, the cryo bomb is capable of freezing Uber units like the [[AC-220 Vulture|Vulture]] and [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]].{{Ref/Marketing|HW|Halo Wars ViDoc: Expanding The Arsenal}} [[Halo Wars Title Updates|Title Update #2]] increased the resource cost by 50%.

In ''Halo Wars 2'', the cryo bomb is a leader power exclusive to [[Serina]], serving as a core part of what is now a vastly expanded roster of cryo weapons and abilities. Like its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart, the cryo bomb has three upgrades and does not kill units, though it does cause some damage to them. However, it no longer causes aircraft to shatter. Instead, players must cause extra damage before the enemy unit will shatter.{{Ref/Site|Id=HW2|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/serina-rises-spearbreaker-drops|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Serina Rises & Spearbreaker Drops|D=26|M=07|Y=2017}}
