| |
| ===''Halo Wars 2''===
| |
| The Lotus mines appear in ''Halo Wars 2'' as a leader ability for certain UNSC [[leader]]s and as a constructible fortification for all UNSC leaders in [[Terminus Firefight]].
| |
| ====Leader ability====
| |
| *Lotus Mines I
| |
| **'''Info:''' Activate to drop a line of cloaked mines. Once armed, mines explode on contact. Does not damage air units.

| |
| **'''Cooldown:''' 105 seconds
| |
| In ''Halo Wars 2'', Lotus Mines is a [[leader]] power available to [[James Cutter|Captain Cutter]], [[Isabel]], [[Ellen Anders|Anders]], and [[John Forge|Forge]]. Whereas it is a Tier 1 leader power for Captain Cutter and Isabel, it is a Tier 2 leader power for Anders and Forge. Furthermore, Isabel and Anders can upgrade to Lotus Mines II, which has increased damage and explosion size.
| |
|
| |
|
| When activated, three mines are deployed to the targeted location in a linear pattern; rotating the camera allows the player to rotate the pattern’s orientation. Each mine is cloaked shortly after being deployed, and will detonate when enemy ground units enter its proximity.
| | The Lotus should not be confused with the [[TR/9 Antipersonnel Mine]] or the [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine]]. |
|
| |
|
| [[Serina]] and [[Jerome-092|Commander Jerome]] have their own analogues for the Lotus Mines: [[cryogenic detonator|Cryogenic Detonator]] and [[Victory mine|Victory Mines]], respectively.
