They carry [[Honor Guard Pike|ceremonial pikes]], but in combat they often make use of energy swords, {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s, or [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant carbines]]. They seem to [[Dual Wielding|dual wield]] plasma rifles more often than other Elite types.

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.
