Living Barrier

The caltrop, or living barrier, is a defense structure utilized by the Banished.

Description
The caltrop is a tri-pointed structure made from Banished technology. Each caltrop is operated by a gestalt of Lekgolo worms, much like a scarab or harvester.

Caltrops are used to block enemy ground vehicles, fortify chokepoints and protect friendly structures. Skillful Barrier deployments can also be used on top of enemy armies in mid-battle to divide and separate advancing forces.

Abilities

 * Hunters Brand  – A relatively cheap Tier 3 ability that is similar to a Glassing Beam but is cheaper to deploy and thus can be more frequently used. Three beams converge on a target, dealing damage and briefly slowing affected units.
 * Colony Drop  – A Tier 3 ability that drops in a pair of Veteran Goliaths providing a quick strike team packing serious muscle.
 * Devastating Host  – This Ultimate ability is a powerful, large-scale Spirit drop that summons Hunters and vehicles buffed with Vehicle Symbiotes. The entire landing zone is buffed so any additional vehicles or structures in the area will also be affected.
 * Combat Repair  (Passive) – An Ultimate ability that provides a slow, healing-over-time effect to all structures and units  for the remainder of the game !

Appearances

 * Halo Wars 2 (first appearance)
