These shields have weaknesses however, as they are susceptible to damage received from plasma-based weapons. An overcharged shot from a [[Plasma Pistol]], a punch from a [[Spartan-II]], or a slash from a [[Type-25 Brute Shot]] or [[Type-1 energy sword]] can completely drain an Elite's energy shields. The shields can also be completely bypassed by using a [[Needler]] in ''Halo CE'', ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', and ''Halo 4''. | These shields have weaknesses however, as they are susceptible to damage received from plasma-based weapons.

Additionally a [[plasma grenade]] or [[spike grenade]] will stick to an Elite even if the shield is fully charged. | ||
