Like [[Unggoy]], the [[Kig-Yar]] are commonly seen in combat and are engaged as ''cannon fodder''. Because of this, they are seen in almost every engagement with other types of Covenant forces. Kig-Yar Minors simply devote their combat time to bombard the player with volleys of plasma bolts on the ground.

Kig-Yar Minors are known for wielding Plasma Pistols as their standard weapon of choice. When engaging an enemy, they tend to overcharge their Plasma Pistols to eliminate its enemy's energy shield and release volleys of plasma bolts to quickly eliminate them. When engaged by an enemy, Minors will use its personal arm shields to block enemy fire.

When engaging an enemy, they tend to overcharge their Plasma Pistols to eliminate enemy [[Spartan-II|Spartans']] energy shields and release volleys of plasma bolts to quickly eliminate them. When engaged by an enemy, Minors will use its personal arm shields to block enemy fire.


When engaging a Kig-Yar Minor from afar, it is best to use a precision weapon such as the [[M6 series|M6 Pistols]], [[Battle Rifle]] and [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbine]] and aim at their exposed left hand. From medium range, weapons such as the [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and the [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]] provide good suppressive fire against the Minors as they will make the Kig-yar Minor off guard and unable to fire its weapon, followed by a quick melee to kill it off. Alternatively, one can eliminate the Kig-yar's personal arm shield by firing an overcharged Plasma bolt from a Plasma Pistol. Once the personal arm shield collapses, the Kig-yar Minor is open to all attacks.

From medium range, weapons such as the [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and the [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]] provide good suppressive fire against a Minor, as a hit on their body will cause the Jackal to stumble, momentarily exposing it to a [[melee]] or [[headshot]]. Alternatively, one can eliminate the Kig-Yar's personal arm shield by firing a volley from a Plasma Rifle or an overcharged shot from a Plasma Pistol. Once the personal arm shield collapses, the Kig-Yar Minor is open to all attacks.


On higher difficulties, it is advisable for players to utilise either long-range firing technique using a precision weapon or the overcharged plasma bolt.
