===Leader Abilities===

Certain characters belonging to both the [[Covenant]] and the [[UNSC]] have been confirmed to in-game be "leader units", all of which have unique in-game abilities. Currently known leaders are [[James Cutter|Captain James Cutter]], [[John Forge|Sergeant John Forge]], [[Anders|Professor Anders]], an [[Unnamed Arbiter (Halo Wars)|unknown Arbiter]], an unknown [[Brute Chieftain]] and the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Captain Cutter's unique ability is to call down an [[Elephant]] from the [[Spirit of Fire]], which is a mobile barracks in the game. It is believed that the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s ability is to glass enemy forces (known as the "cleansing beam" in Halo Wars), which causes significant damage to both structures and units.

The Arbiter can go into a rage mode and wield two energy swords, but at the cost of draining resources for every second it's active<ref>OXM January 2009 article</ref>. It is reasonable to conclude that all unique abilities drain resources while active.

The Spartans are not in this list because it is believed that they are not hero units, but are commando units, a type of infantry that can perform feats that a common soldier, such as a marine, cannot. However, they can be killed rather easily and more than one can be trained at one time.
