The '''Energy Stave''' is a [[Covenant]] [[melee]] [[weapon]] used exclusively by Sangheili and Jiralhanae [[~~Honor Guard~~]]s. It is a long metal staff ~~with~~ a forked tip ~~covered in glowing~~ panels.

The '''Energy Stave''' is a [[Covenant]] [[melee]] [[weapon]]. It is used exclusively by the [[Honor Guard]] [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Elites]] and [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brutes]] and [[Light of Sanghelios]]. It is a long metal staff, and has a forked tip with a series of orange panels.

These weapons are long staves with a spear-like end that is similar in color to the glowing armor panels of their wielders. Not much is known about these exotic weapons, except that they have a length of 527 centimeters (17.3 feet). They do not seem to have much of a combat purpose but more a ceremonial one, as the Honor Guard Elites will use [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]], [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], and [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbines]] in real combat. However, they were used by [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] to subdue any [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] that came too close to the [[Council Chamber]] during one of the [[High Prophet of Truth]]'s sermons regarding the discovery of the [[Activation Index|Sacred Icon]]. This weapon is never used in game-play by other characters.

They can be seen in the hands of the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guard]] during both the opening and closing cinematic of the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], but they are simply tossed aside, as the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] prefer other weaponry to protect the Hierarchs, and kill [[John-117|Master Chief]]..

Also, after the replacement of the [[Sangheili|Elites]] in the Covenant Hierarchy, the weapon's religious significance died out. During the cutscene where the Brutes take power you see them fighting over the Energy Staves, meaning the Honor Guards that have the pikes could have a higher value or rank than Honor Guards who don't have them at all.
