These Elites have slightly more powerful [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|shields]] than their subordinate blue-clad Minor Domo subordinates, as fitting with their rank. In Halo 2, these shields are somewhat weaker than those of [[Honor Guard Elite]]s, [[Zealot]]s, and [[Heretic Elite]] Majors. On lower difficulties they can take a maximum of three hits on the body from the [[Sniper Rifle]] or [[Beam Rifle]], and in higher difficulties at least five hits are needed. | These Elites have slightly more powerful [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|shields]] than their subordinate blue-clad Minor Domo subordinates, as fitting with their rank.

==Combating a Major Elite== | |||
The same tactics used to kill Minor Elites can be used against Major Elites as well. However, their stronger energy shields make them more resilient. For example, in Halo: CE on Normal difficulty, it takes eight headshots from the M6D pistol to kill a Major, compared to six for a Minor. Furthermore, the sniper rifle takes two headshots on Heroic and Legendary difficulty. However, the "noob combo" is just effective as it is against a Minor Elite, as the plasma pistol's charged shot instantly disables any shields regardless of strength. | |||
