They carry [[Honor Guard Pike|ceremonial pikes]], but in combat they often make use of energy swords, [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|plasma rifles]], or [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant carbines]]. They seem to [[Dual Wielding|dual wield]] plasma rifles more often than other Elite types. More wary and agile than the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guards]], their speed and quick reflexes with the energy sword, paired with their skill with the plasma rifle's rapid fire, made them quite formidable foes. | ||
Although their armor was removed from them during the Changing of the Guard, it seems several of the Elites were able to regain their armor from fallen enemies, as they wear them during the start of the Great Schism on ''[[High Charity]]''. | Although their armor was removed from them during the Changing of the Guard, it seems several of the Elites were able to regain their armor from fallen enemies, as they wear them during the start of the Great Schism on ''[[High Charity]]''. | ||

As with all Shielded foes, the most efficient means of killing them is with the [[Noob Combo]]. Simply overcharge a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] and then fire a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] or Covenant carbine and land a headshot on them. For closer ranges, use the carbine (more damage dealt); for further ranges, use the carbine or the battle rifle. [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shots]] also work to some extent, but, on [[Legendary]], are ultimately overpowered by the incredible rate of power and damage dealt of the plasma rifle. Specifically, for the instance at the end of the level [[Delta Halo]] in the cramped space, the easiest means of killing them is the energy sword, as the Elites can easily hide behind all the cover. Be wary though, as some of them have swords of their own. | As with all Shielded foes, the most efficient means of killing them is with the [[Noob Combo]].

They are only available if the Prophet of Regret is the leader unit. Armed with energy swords, they are extremely effective against infantry and light vehicles like [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthogs]] and [[Wolverine]]s, but are vulnerable to heavy vehicles and useless against air units. A good strategy to group Honor Guards with [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] and [[Unggoy|Grunts]] for firepower against infantry, vehicles, and aircraft, respectively. | ||
Honor Guard are also very useful when they are employed as scouts. Using their Cloak ability, you can easily sneak up to and spy on enemy units or even the enemy base. While in Cloak mode, enemy turrets and units cannot see the Honor Guard, making it the perfect scout. | Honor Guard are also very useful when they are employed as scouts.
