'''Sangheili Enforcers''' are [[Banished]] [[Sangheili]] that specialize in destroying enemy structures,<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> or leading squads of other mercenaries.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p428|Enc22|Page=428}} 

==Overview==
===Roles and responsibilies===
Among the [[Sangheili Mercenary|Sangheili Mercenaries]] who have joined the [[Banished]], some have attained the rank of Enforcer allowing them authority over the other mercenaries in their squad. This position, however, does not afford them many more practical benefits. They take on tasks assigned by their higher up [[Sangheili Warlord|Warlord]]. The role of Enforcer is similar to that of [[Sangheili Major|obedientiaries]] of the fallen [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p428}}

===History===
Several Sangheili Enforcers partook in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], leading groups of Sangheili Mercenaries and Unggoy.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|Hi|Detail=[[campaign]] gameplay}}

==Equipment==
Banished Sangheili Enforcers are regularly armed with [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle]]s, {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}s, {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s, [[Erudo'ma'keth-pattern pulse carbine]]s, and [[stasis grenade]]s, although they may also wield [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]]s and [[MLRS-2 Hydra]]s.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - ''Elite Enforcers''</ref><ref name="welcome">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/welcome-jerome-arbiter '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Welcome Jerome & Arbiter'']</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

==Non-canon and dubious canon appearances==
{{Notcanon}}
Disgraced Sangheili have few options to recover their honor, even in death. Had Ripa joined with Atriox and thrown off the Prophets' shackles he had powerful tools to exploit Sangheili warriors seeking redemption. Though Ripa could not lead through loyalty or charisma as a general, as the Arbiter he could bind Sangheili with iron-clad oaths that traded unquestioning service as his vassals for a return to the rolls of honor.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}{{Ref/Reuse|welcome}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:Blitz Elite Enforcers.png|thumb|right|250px|The unit's Blitz card.]]
The Enforcers are fast-moving, battle-hardened Sangheili which can be deployed by [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. They excel in hit—and—run attacks where they can rush in to attack with their plasma weapons and then disengage to allow their energy shields to regenerate. Enforcers are typically armed with [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle]]s and {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}s. They can also use their special [[stasis grenade]]s to take targets they cannot effectively deal with out of action, and raid enemy bases to shut down production for a short time.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}{{Ref/Reuse|welcome}} They wear [[Combat harness|Sangheili combat harness]]es equipped with [[energy shielding]].

*'''Info:''' Anti-Building, Effective raiding unit, Effective against buildings, Rapidly recharging shields

Sangheili Enforcers are exclusive to [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and can be built at the [[Raid Camp]] in place of [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s. Enforcers are effective against infantry and structures, perform okay against vehicles, and do poorly against aircraft. In [[Blitz]] Enforcers cost 40 energy.

===Blitz===
Enforcers are also playable in the [[Blitz]] and [[Blitz Firefight]] modes. Their [[List of Blitz cards|Blitz card]] has the following attributes;
*'''Rarity:''' Common
*'''Cost to deploy:''' 40
*'''Y-ability: Stasis grenade throw:''' Tosses a grenade at an enemy unit to deal damage and trap them within a stasis field.
*'''Shield:''' This unit has energy shield protection that absorbs damage and regenerates when out of combat.

The Enforcer Elites are classed as Anti-Building infantry, and perform well against infantry, okay against vehicles and suffer in combat versus aircraft.

===Halo Infinite===
In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', Enforcers typically act as squad leaders for infantry. They have significantly greater shields and health than the common [[Sangheili Mercenary]]. Although they are usually armed with pulse carbines, they may also carry other weapons, such as Ravagers and [[MLRS-2 Hydra]]s. Like other Sangheili enemies in the game, Enforcers are equipped with [[plasma grenade]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

==Production notes==
The introduction of Ripa 'Moramee into ''Halo Wars 2'' is presented as a "what-if" scenario in which Ripa had joined the Banished cause. Through this lens, the Enforcers are presented in the [[Phoenix Logs]] as units employed by Ripa in the [[Human-Covenant War]], and would be used in the Banished. However, as stated by writer [[Jeff Easterling]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/878078362165493760?s=19 ''GrimBrotherOne on Twitter:''] - ''nearly all units are canonical, just not necessarily the leaders or maybe "where" they are. Example, Omega is not on the Ark.''</ref> the multiplayer of ''Halo Wars 2'' as a whole is non-canonical and units featured in the game are not bound to the specific leaders as they are in-game, and some may not even be present on the game's setting of the Ark at all. As such, it is likely the Enforcers are also employed by the Banished as an infantry raider unit.
