The '''Type-58 Anti-Air Wraith'''<ref name="Archive" /> is a specialized version of the [[Type-58 Wraith]] used by the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Unlike the base T-58, the Anti-Air Wraith is designed to take out airborne targets.<ref name="BH" />


==Overview==
==Overview and design==
===Design details===
Sporting a far more [[Sangheili]]-derived design, the T-58 anti-air Wraith features heavy [[Nanolaminate|armor]], [[fuel rod]] [[Fuel rod cannon|flak cannons]], and a [[Energy shielding|shielded]] [[plasma]] [[Type-58 plasma cannon|repeater turret]]. On some units, members of the Swords of Sanghelios have incorporated a verdant iridescent sheen into the coloration; a poignant homage commissioned by [[Thel 'Vadam]] to honor the Sangheili that fought alongside [[human]] [[United Nations Space Command|forces]] at the close of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="BH" />
The ''Muv'te''-pattern skyhunters are built by [[Lodam Armory]] upon the chassis of the base {{Pattern|Kemu|Wraith}} - incorporating a visual design more in line with [[Sangheili]] aesthetic tastes. The hull itself is reinforced with heavier [[nanolaminate]] armour plating, with some units commissioned by [[Thel 'Vadam]] incorporating a green iridescent sheen to pay homage to the [[human]] forces the early [[Covenant separatists|separatist]] movement fought alongside during the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]].{{Ref/Reuse|BH}}


As with the {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} - the [[Covenant]]-era counterpart to the more modern ''Muv'te'' - [[weapon-smith]]s are required to incorporate stringent failsafes into the vehicle's design to ensure that they are destroyed should the vehicle operator be killed. This is done to prevent the vehicle and it's destructive potential from falling into enemy hands.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
Unlike its predecessor, the T-58's fuel rods have a stronger home in on aircraft within the crosshair but the firepower has been reduced; The cannons also overheat from excessive use, making it somewhat less effective against ground forces. In [[War Games]] simulations it takes 4 fuel rods to kill a Spartan. Similarly the AA Wraith's plasma repeater turret also kills Spartans in 4 shots. It is ranked a Rare [[REQ]] in [[Warzone]] simulations, and is available at level 5 while giving 150 REQ points if sold.


===Armaments===
==Trivia==
The ''Muv'te''-pattern skyhunter is equipped with twin rapid-fire [[fuel rod cannon]]s mounted in a turret atop the central chassis, replacing the [[plasma mortar]] present in the standard ''Kemu''-pattern Wraith line.{{Ref/Reuse|BH}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This is a considerable downgrade from the six launchers present on the older ''Ogab'd'' models, though the cannons themselves display increased tracking capabilities against aircraft.{{Ref/Game|Id=Gameplay|H5G|[[Anti-Air Wraith]] in-game vehicle}}
Like the standard Type-58 Wraith, it can perform a Super Glide.
 
For defensive purposes, the Wraith has a secondary cupola for a gunner to operate a [[plasma repeater turret]] for firing upon advancing infantry forces. The turret, in an upgrade from most regular Wraiths, is fitted with a small [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] protecting the gunner from fire from the front and sides.{{Ref/Reuse|BH}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
===Usage===
The ''Muv'te''-pattern skyhunter was used by both predominant forces in the [[Blooding Years]] - the Sangheili civil war between the Swords of Sanghelios and remnant faction led by [[Jul 'Mdama]] following the collapse of the [[Covenant]] empire.{{Ref/Reuse|BH}} The vehicle has seen use in [[United Nations Space Command]] training [[War Games]] simulations{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}}, and was assigned a designation within the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[type classification system]] of Type-58, denoting its cataloguing in [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|Archive}}
 
Unlike their counterparts, the [[Banished]] have by-and-large elected not to employ the use of anti-aircraft Wraiths - instead preferring the use of the [[Dovotaa Workshop Reaver]] for mobile air defence purposes.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Reaver}}

The ''Muv'te''-pattern AA Wraith was introduced into ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' in the ''[[Monitor's Bounty]]'' update.{{Ref/Reuse|BH}} The vehicle can be used in multiplayer and [[Forge/Halo 5: Guardians|Forge]], and in [[Warzone]] is useable as a [[List of REQ cards|REQ card]] with the following attributes;

Unlike its predecessor, the ''Muv'te''{{'}}s fuel rods have a stronger home in on aircraft within the crosshair, but the firepower has been reduced; The cannons also overheat from excessive use, making it somewhat less effective against ground forces. In [[multiplayer]], it takes 4 fuel rods to kill a Spartan. Similarly, the AA Wraith's plasma repeater turret also kills Spartans in 4 shots.
