* SupportPartyMember: Two units on both sides of the conflict are purely for assisting their team and can't do any or very little damage to the opposing team.
** Gripper Guardians slows down the turret rotation speed of any towers it locks on to. When attacking from the correct angle, towers might not even be able to attack at all. Their alternate form, the Shield Guardian generates an EnergyShield to block incoming damage for nearby units.
** Supply Servants generate abilities from destroyed towers. [[BoringButPractical Not particularly interesting, but free repairs or EMPs never hurt.]] Their alternate form, the Shadow Servant [[{{Invisibility}} shrouds human squads with a cloaking field]] when they reach full charge and encounter a tower. While this makes them immune to most towers, they're still vulnerable to shockwaves in PVP.
** Hacker towers launch energy fields that cause any human squad units inside it to target the commander if the commander is standing inside the energy field as well. What they lack in damage, they make up for in disruptive ability.
** Harvesters (multiplayer exclusive) are important economic utility towers that should be protected second only to Generators. They can gather resources, victory points or abilities.

* GlassCannon: The predator deals high damage, but can't take it in return, being the most frail of the towers.
to:
* DrawAggro: Charger towers redirect your units' fire to themselves, so they can gain enough energy to transform into the mighty Storm Reaper. The player can invoke this on enemies via the A.I.M ability, which overrides a Charger's target priority, making their units target towers in the ability's radius first, while dealing extra damage.
* {{EMP}}: One of the player's abilities and arguably the most powerful, it instantly shuts down any towers. Towers remain shut down unless damaged.
* GlassCannon: The predator deals high damage, but can't take it in return, being the most frail of the towers. On the player's side, the hammer units deals high damage, but can't really take it in return.

* LightningBruiser: The Storm Reaper is the transformed version of the Charger, and despite its massive size, can rapidly swivel itself to lock on to and rapidly destroy your units. Bonus points for literally using lightning.
Added DiffLines:
* MightyGlacier: Behemoths are large towers that can easily wipe out your most frail units in 2 shots, and have a large AOE, but they are slow to turn. A single Gripper Guard can slow their rotation speed enough to prevent them from firing on you altogether, and decrease their already slow fire rate to a snail's pace.
Added DiffLines:
* StealthyMook: The Shadow Servant can cloak your entire squad for a limited time, allowing you to fire on towers without fear of retaliation.

* KillItWithFire: Hellhounds just like the Dragon form the first game attack with dual flamethrowers, and can set towers on fire for extra damage over time.
* LongRangeFighter: Sledge Hammers can outrange any tower, and at max level can OneHitKill Blasters and Predators, but can only fire 45 degrees in front of them.
* MultipleEndings: The final mission changes the ending depending on whether you destroyed the blue nodes or the red nodes. [[spoiler: Destroying all blue nodes will have the machines disabled, but the Anomaly will persist, allowing the machines' creators' infants to hatch with humanity as their parents. If the red nodes are targeted, the machines will be completely destroyed, along with the Anomaly, turning the Antarctic from a lush tropical area back into the frozen wasteland it once was, killing off the alien infants, but the world will begin to return back to normal instead of being frozen over.]]

Alien anomaly invaded Earth in 2018, but was repelled...or is it?
Turns out: yes they're repelled, but then they came back stronger, [[OhCrap much stronger]].
It's now 2034, Earth's average temperature is down to -8.7F, Humans are now reduced into minority, and the machines rule the planet. You're now being placed in charge of a surviving military convoy to find Dr Zander, a scientist who is working on a weapon called Project Shockwave that could turn the tide of the war.
''Anomaly 2'' is the sequel to ''VideoGame/AnomalyWarzoneEarth''. The gameplay is mostly the same as the first one, though now all of your available units are now transformable thus each unit now can perform in more roles, and there's some ability new abilities replacing the old ones. Its big draw, however, is its asymmetric multiplayer mode where 2 players battle each other: one as the convoys, and another as the towers. Both sides have different units and abilities and resource gathering, and must research in order to unlock more advanced units to beat the other side.
