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''. {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s are very effective in quickly reducing the Elite personal energy shielding. Additionally a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} or [[spike grenade]] will stick to an Elite even if the shield is fully charged. | These shields have weaknesses however, as they are susceptible to damage received from plasma-based weapons.

==Differences between the Novel and the Game Series== | |||
These shields need to be switched on in the novels so attacking with the element of surprise is more effective, but they are always on in the games. The shields in the novel are far weaker; in the game it can take a whole magazine from an [[MA5B Assault Rifle]] or a grenade to kill an Elite, but in the novels an Elite is killed after a short burst, usually by the last bullet penetrating. | |||
