The Spirit is indestructible, unless a mod for the [[Halo PC|PC]] version is used for one shot kills. Then it will simply look as if it had been burned, it loses its ball turret and all occupants die. No amount of firepower that the player can bring to bear is capable of bringing the ship down if no mods are added. The best tactic, if on lower difficulty levels, is to attack the vulnerable infantry (shoot or toss a grenade) as they disembark from the Spirit. On higher difficulties, this would be unwise; hiding behind cover until the ship leaves is often the best course of action in this situation. Without cover or good tactics, a careless player will die very quickly. As well as providing heavy support in combat, it can drop off a unit of Covenant in the battle field. The unit is dispersed by getting out of the side of the dropship. | The Spirit is indestructible, unless a mod for the [[Halo PC|PC]] version is used for one shot kills.

The Spirit is used to deliver quite large amounts of troops on the battlefield, including units that normally wouldn't fit inside it, including [[Hunters]], of course for gameplay reasons. It is very fast and quite resistant to damage: it is advisable to take it out just before the troops it carries disembark, because it is slower than usual. Also, it cannot be destroyed after it unloads its troops. The units which do this best are [[Wolverine]]s, [[Hornet]]s and [[Hawk]]s. Spirits in Halo Wars don't engage enemy targets and are only seen in the [[Campaign]], mainly on the mission [[Dome of Light]]. Spirits in Halo Wars utilize Gravity Lifts to deploy and pick up troops. | The Spirit is used to deliver quite large amounts of troops on the battlefield, including units that normally wouldn't fit inside it, including [[Hunters]], of course for gameplay reasons.
