Summit (building)

This article is about the Covenant building. For the map in Halo 5: Guardians, see Summit (level).

The summit is a Covenant building featured in Halo Wars.

It constructs units such as Banshees, Vampires and Engineers. All of the air-based unit upgrades are researched at the Summit. Unlike the UNSC Airpad which requires the second tech level, the summit can be built at a tech level of zero, making an early 'Banshee rush' fairly easy. Like all buildings in Halo Wars, it takes the color of the player's team.

The summit is the Covenant equivalent of the UNSC airpad.
