If a production building like a [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]] or [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]] is caught within the cryo bomb's range, the building will cease production for the period of time, or in the Supply Pad's case, incoming supplies will stop. It can be requested only if [[Ellen Anders]] is the selected [[Hero Units|hero unit]]. The cryo bomb can be enhanced three times from the [[UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory]] to make its effect last longer and to increase the number of air units capable of being destroyed. The cryo bomb is best used when a player wants to freeze their opponent's aircraft and uber units. This leader power must be backed up with troops because unless the units are heavily damaged, this attack will not kill them. | If a production building like a [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]] or [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]] is caught within the cryo bomb's range, the building will cease production for the period of time, or in the Supply Pad's case, incoming supplies will stop.

In ''Halo Wars 2'' the cryo bomb is a leader power exclusive to [[Serina]]. Like its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart the cryo bomb has three upgrades and does not kill units. Unlike its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart it will not cause aircraft to shatter. Instead players must cause extra damage before the enemy unit will shatter. | In ''Halo Wars 2'' the cryo bomb is a leader power exclusive to [[Serina]].
