The preferred units for taking down an airborne Spirit are [[M9 Wolverine]]s, [[AV-14 Hornet]]s, and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s. Spirits in ''Halo Wars'' do not engage enemy targets and are only seen in the [[campaign]], mainly on the mission [[Dome of Light]] and [[Repairs]]. Spirits in ''Halo Wars'' utilize gravity lifts to deploy and pick up troops, rather than the side-mounted troop bay doors as in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo: Reach''. | The preferred units for taking down an airborne Spirit are [[M9 Wolverine]]s, [[AV-14 Hornet]]s, and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s.
