Strategy

 * Countermeasures allows the de-capture Power Node captured by Atriox more longer than other leaders, except for Leaders that possesses a Leader Power to speeds it up (Such as Captain Cutter's UNSC Raid or Let 'Volir's Banished Raid)
 * Time the leader power correctly, as Unbreakable and Atriox's Bulwark combination can be proven very lethal against all units.
 * Note that Isabel's Ghost In the Machine can nullify this combination, as she can snatch all of your armored units inside Bulwark's area.
