These shields have weaknesses however, as they are susceptible to damage received from plasma based weapons. An overcharged shot from a [[Plasma Pistol]] or a melee from a [[Brute Shot]] or [[Energy Sword]] can completely drain an Elite's Energy Shields. The shields can also be completely bypassed by using a [[Needler]]. [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]] are very effective in quickly reducing the Elite personal energy shielding. Additionally a [[Plasma grenade]] or [[Spike Grenade]] will stick to an Elite even if the Shield is fully charged.  This shield does repel infection flood.  Instead, the infection flood drains the shield.  After this the infection flood kills the elite.
