When activated, the camera locks onto the Arbiter, whom the player controls with the left thumbstick and attacks with the right. It will use up resources every second it is in use and can be upgraded at the Temple. Rage Mode allows the Arbiter to single out enemy units, lunge at them, and deal damage on them. A fully upgraded Rage increases the player's units' damage while the Rage is still active. This also affects allies, including allied UNSC units, boosting their damage.

===The Arbiter===
===Ripa 'Moramee===
*'''Info:''' Hero, Armed with two plasma swords, Fast moving, Rage ability causes great damage.
Ripa 'Moramee is exclusive to himself and can be built at the [[War Council]]. Like other hero units the player is limited to one on the field at a time.
*'''Tier:''' 1
*'''Cost:''' Population 0, Supplies 350, Power 250
*'''Arbiter upgrade: Swift Fury'''
**'''Info:''' Increases speed, increases damage and health, Rage attacks gain health.
**'''Tier:''' 1
**'''Cost:''' Supplies 0, Power 300
*'''Arbiter upgrade: Conduit Incarnate'''
**'''Info:''' Activating special ability triggers ''Conduit of Rage'', Reduces Rage cooldown, Increases damage and health.
**'''Tier:''' 2
**'''Cost:''' Supplies 0, Power 450
*'''Arbiter upgrade: Arbiter's Reprisal'''
**'''Info:''' When attacked, The Arbiter returns some of the damage to his attacker.
**'''Tier:''' 3
**'''Cost:''' Supplies 0, Power 600
Ripa 'Moramee is exclusive to himself and can be built at the [[War Council]]. Like other hero units the player is limited to one on the field at a time. Ripa performs well against infantry, vehicles, and structures, but only okay against aircraft. Once the ''Conduit Incarnate'' upgrade is purchased Ripa will perform well against aircraft. Ripa can only attack aircraft while using his Rage ability. Unlike his Rage ability in ''Halo Wars'', his Rage in ''Halo Wars 2'' does not allow to player to control him. However, it not longer costs resources to use, and instead lasts for a set time. In [[Blitz]] he costs 240 energy and features the Rush ability that eliminates spawn debuffs.
===Strategy===
====General====
*Be careful when utilizing '''Mass Stasis''' and '''Statis''' as both leader power can make any enemy and allies unit invulnerable to any attacks, giving both sides a chance to recuperate their army using any healing leader powers.
**This also affects building as any production will be temporarily halted.
*'''Power Surge''' is very useful in late-game, practically if the player constantly uses leader powers for advantage.
*Note that the Arbiter is one of the few Leaders that does not have any active healing leader power. It is best to conserve the personnel wisely and use Stasis leader power for advantage.
*'''Conduit of Rage''' is extremely useful for late games. Combined with '''Power Surge''', Ripa 'Moramee's leader power can be the most difficult to handle for all Leaders.
*Ripa 'Moramee's leader powers are generally designed to counter Isabel.
**Additionally, Ripa 'Moramee is suitable to take on the Support Role due to its passive leader power that complements Stasis Leader Power.
====Allies====
*Sangheili enforcers is one of the best Anti-Infantry and Building. With a large number, it will be very difficult to handle. Pair up with some of the allies anti-air and anti-building, practically UNSC Marines fitted with Combat Technician to cover each other's back.
*With correct timing and place, '''Stasis''' and '''Mass Stasis''' can negate all of the enemy's leader power that deals damage to your allies.
*If your allies have a healing leader power, use it immediately, as any units under stasis can be healed using a Leader Power.
*If the enemy is using Isabel, use '''Stasis''' when your allies get hijacked through '''Ghost In The Machine'''. Not only her power will be wasteful, but it will also benefit your allies as hijacked units can't go anywhere.
====Enemies====
*Do not group up when attacking, as you may receive either '''Mass Stasis''' or '''Stasis''' Leader Power.
*Isabel's '''Ghost In The Machine''' is ineffective when the enemy is using Stasis, rendering her Tier 5 leader power obsolete.
*Units affected by Stasis are completely immune to damage, rendering a waste of resources when using offensive leader power.
