Although being leader of Omega team, a member of Red team and Cutter's hero unit, Jerome is a leader in this game and quite a powerful one. Jerome is the first Spartan leader in Halo Wars history and its nice to see one. Jerome is quite a powerful leader as a lot of his abilities allows him to boost the attack speed and defence of his units in some way. He is also the only leader who can have 4 Spartans at once. Jerome's hero unit is himself and his mantis. Jerome is quite cheap to get down as he costs little as a unit and he does decent damage, but if you upgrade him once for about 450 power he can call in his mantis. his mantis is powerful at any point during the game, especially early, as it has a lot of health and does a lot of damage. You can put Jerome in the mantis if you want to make it even more powerful or you can keep him out so you can fire more and target more things. One thing to note I that Jerome can't hijack like other Spartans as his special ability is his attack mantis. Jerome's leader tree is based around buffing his troops temporarily and permanently. His top ability allows him to call in Omega team for 2000 of each resource. So you get 3 Spartans with powerful weapons like a railgun, energy sword and an energy turret. These can also hijack, so you can steal a lot of vehicles. His other top ability allows him to raise the veterancy level of any of his units in a small area which can lead to him buffing up things like condors. He also has things like a victory turret which buffs units in the area, victory mines and he can bomb enemies with loads of debris.
