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.
  • Dying Breath is a very useful Leader Power as your units can draw the aggro from the enemy unit as much as you could without worrying about your other units for 4 seconds. As long as the dying unit keeps drawing fire, it can give the player a good chance to obliterate the attackers with less opposition.
