| '''Ultra Elite''' is a high regular [[Sangheili]] (Elite) [[rank]].
| |
| | |
| == Titles ==
| |
| === Standard ===
| |
| | |
| The standard Ultra [[Elite]]s command specific operations and are the [[Covenant]]'s equivalent to senior field officers, (along with [[Major Domo]] Elites). This makes them on par with [[UNSC]] [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]]s and [[Colonel]]s. They are subordinate to [[Zealot|Zealots]], who command [[Fleet]]s and armies. They are considered to be more skilled than [[SpecOps|Spec-Ops]] [[Elite]]s, but are still below [[Zealots]].
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Halo 2]]'', an Ultra is seen commanding a [[Scarab]] walker in the level ''[[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]]'' and a couple more are seen warring with the [[Covenant Loyalist]]s for control of the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]]. They also appear more often in higher difficulties, in ''[[Halo 2]]'' only.
| |
| | |
| === [[Special Operations Commander]] ===
| |
| | |
| Thus far, [[Rtas 'Vadum]] is the only known officer holding this title. A Spec-Ops Commander commands a squad of [[Special Operations Elites]], as the name implies.
| |
| | |
| Although he appears to be similar to the rank of Ultra, sports a different secondary colour (in Halo 2), throws grenades and has weaker shields than that of an Ultra. It has been theorized that the Commander may potentially command all of the Spec-Ops troops within the [[Covenant]].
| |
| | |
| === [[Ship Master]] ===
| |
| | |
| This position is equivalent to a [[UNSC Navy Captain]]. Ship Masters command Starships from within the Covenant, but they still fall under the command of their [[Fleet]]'s [[Supreme Commander]] and De Facto commander/Fleet Master.
| |
| | |
| === [[Fleet Master]] ===
| |
| | |
| Although the [[Zealot]]s usually have this role, an Ultra may, at certain times, take on the role of [[Fleet Master]] during extreme circumstances, or when required.
| |
| | |
| == Combat ==
| |
| [[Image:Ultracapt.jpg|thumb|left|150px]]
| |
| Like their [[Zealot]] superiors, the Ultras are extremely powerful and skilled warriors. They also possess very strong [[energy shields]] that can withstand about twice as much damage as those possessed by [[Zealot]]s, but they can't take much physical damage when their shield is down.
| |
| | |
| They often fight with heavy or dual-wielded weapons, particularly [[Plasma Rifles]] and [[Fuel Rod Guns]], which they fire with unparalleled accuracy. They also carry [[Energy Sword]]s as their secondary weapon; when enemies get too close, or they are stuck by a grenade, Ultras let out a war cry, drop their currently wielded weapon, and pull the sword out for close combat. Also strangely in Legendary when you get the [[Halo_2_Skulls#I_Would_Have_Been_Your_Daddy_.28IWHBYD.29|IWHBYD skull]] in [[Halo 2]], some of the Ultra [[Elite]]s carry [[Beam Rifle]]s which is the only time they can be seen wielding Beam Rifles unless you give them one when playing as the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]].
| |
| | |
| | |
| The Ultras are able to continue in sustained heavy combat long after most Elite warriors' shields would have been depleted. They are particularly effective in close quarters combat, where their stronger energy shields and [[Energy Swords]] allow them to take down large numbers of enemies. Evidence of this can be found at the [[Scarab]], where, on [[Legendary]], Ultras' shields are so strong that can withstand one or two direct rocket hits.
| |
| | |
| Ultras, [[Councilors]] and [[Zealot]]s, are the only [[Elites]] capable of withstanding a point-blank [[shotgun]] blast, assassination or a [[plasma grenade]] stick. They are extremely powerful and are not to be underestimated. On higher difficulties they can kill a careless player almost instantly.
| |
| | |
| When fighting an Ultra, it is advisable to use heavy weapons due to their strong energy shields. Even then, it will take multiple shots to kill the Elite. The [[Plasma Pistol]] is also highly effective, as it can completely disable their shields with a single overcharged shot, but an Ultra would most likely dodge it with ease, unless they're in a tight place. Like any other Elite, an Ultra will be briefly stunned after the overcharged shot disables their shields. The player should use this opportunity to quickly switch to another weapon, preferably one capable of making head shots ([[Magnum]], [[Battle Rifle]], or [[Carbine]]) and finish off the Ultra. Finally, [[Plasma Grenades]] are useful as well. While sticking an Ultra with a plasma grenade, on [[Legendary]], will not kill it outright, it will deplete most of its shields allowing the player to finish off the Elite relatively quickly.

| == Physical Appearance ==
| |
| [[Image:Ultra Flood Combat.jpg|thumb|right|An infected Ultra in ''[[Halo 3]]''.]]
| |
| Ultra Elites wear a white version of the standard Elite armour and in ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Rtas' Vadum]] is seen with slight armour permutations such as a Combat helmet, but with the rest of it being Assault in ''Halo 3''. They appear to have two sets of armour, one being white with white trim, the other white with black (steel) trim. This is another ranking system; the full white being higher said rank.

| == Trivia ==
| |
| *It appears that (in Halo 3) the Ultras have taken of the role of [[Zealot]]s.
| |
| *No living Ultras are found in ''[[Halo 3]]'', instead, only dead or infected ones, found on the level [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]] and [[Floodgate]], can be seen. In Floodgate, one or more of the dead Ultras may be missing their two left mandibles, just like [[Rtas 'Vadum]].
| |
| *Given the sheer size of the [[Covenant Military]], before the civil war, the majority of [[Ship Master]]s were probably Ultras.
| |
| *An Ultra performs the same functions and is just as important as a [[UNSC]] senior field officer, making them the [[Covenant]]'s equivalent to [[Lieutenant Colonel]]s/[[Colonel]]s and [[Commander]]s/[[Captain]]s.
| |
| *Ultra Elites are a part of the Regular [[Elite]] Ranks.
| |
| *One of the dead Ultras seen in the level [[Floodgate]] in the infected ship could have been the [[Ship Master]] of the ship, although this is unlikely as there was more than one dead Ultra.
| |
| *Ultra is possibly the next Elite rank that can be achieved after [[Major Domo]] if the [[Elite]] doesn't become apart of the Specialist Ranks.
| |
| *On the level [[Floodgate]], the dead Ultras sometimes have glitches; some have a mixed helmet of Combat and Assault with Combat body. On some occasions; however, regular-faced Ultras can be found at the edge of the pit leading further into the crashed ship.
| |
| *Many people believe Ultras are never seen as allied units in-game, but this can be achieved with the [[Thunderstorm]] skull in ''[[Halo 2]]'', but there was a sighting of a randomly generated Ultra on [[Legendary]] difficulty in the level [[Great Journey]] where one of the Elites that ejected from his [[Banshee]] was an Ultra; also in the level [[Quarantine Zone (level)]] sometimes the [[Phantom]] will drop an [[Ultra]].
| |
| *As seen in the picture, there is a [[Flood]]-infected Ultra Elite, but only if you perform a certain trick on [[Floodgate]]. This can only be done at the end of the level, where you see all of the dead Elite Ultras. Just push one (or more, depending on how many Ultra Forms you want) into the pit that has a liquid covering the floor and [[Flood Growth Pods]] on the wall. Pop one and watch the [[infection forms]] go into the Ultra, and it will rise, as the same color as it was when it wasn't infected. Note: sometimes the [[infection form]]s won't infect the body. If they don't, kill them all and pop another pod.
