Colony is the only leader in Halo Wars 2 to be more than 1 person. Colony are a hunter pair and are quite high up in Atriox's army. They are also really fun to play as and a tough opponent. Colony are really good at hitting hard and are useful at any time during the game. Colony also has two special units which only he can use being Skitterers and Goliaths. Skitterers are really powerful and don't cost an awful lot. You can get them really early game, once you get the leader power for them, and they can be useful for gathering supplies and taking power nodes as they are quite fast. If under fire keep them moving as they shoot while mobile and don't have a lot of health. These little bugs fire small lasers and what makes them special is that you can attach them to other units where they can help that unit. The other unit, Goliaths, are really bulky and great against buildings. If you rush these you can get them quite early and rush with them. These are really good against building and demolish them but any air or vehicles try to keep them away. Attaching skitterers to these is really good as they can now defend against air and deal more damage. Colony's hero is the Hunter Captain who is probably the bulkiest hero. He does a decent amount of damage and can take a lot of hits. When upgraded, he can draw all fire on him in a certain radius which is great for drawing of fire for anything weak or can't take a hit. Colony's ability tree is really good at supporting troops with healing and dropping in new troops while buffing old ones. His top abilities are really good and the good thing about him is that his bottom ones are good at any point in the game. His top ability gives regeneration to all troops and buildings so that they heal over time. His other top one drops in an army while buffing vehicles in the area. He can also drop a wall on the map, send in a swarm of temporary engineers for healing, drop in veteran Goliaths and do a mini eradication beam. Overall Colony is really good but remember that he is not that mobile so keep your options open with where you place your troops and keep healing them in the fight. Also one thing I do is in the middle of a fight by an opponents base, make your Goliaths target the base so you can demolish it in the battle so even if you lose, you have damaged the base.
