Sangheili warriors are often considered to be the most skilled and capable species in the Halo series, and are only equaled by [[Hunters]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. However, their code of honor can get in the way of this. They frequently forget to take cover, even whilst their shields are down leaving them very vulnerable to fire from ranged weapons like the Battle Rifle or the Carbine. Use this to your advantage by combining fire with your AI Marines and your chances of taking one down will be high. Also, depending on the weapon you have and the rank of the Sangheili, it can be increasingly difficult to attack an Sangheili efficiently. The best way to do so is to judge by their rank and weapon. For example, if you come across a group of [[Elite Minor|Minor]]s or [[Elite Major|Majors]] being led by an [[Ultra Elite|Ultra Sangheili]], it would be best to take out the Ultra first, as he is the strongest enemy present. | |||
Using the more powerful weapons on high ranking Sangheilis instead of lower ones will increase the odds of survival drastically, since it is less difficult to take down a Minor than an Ultra. If that Ultra is wielding a Plasma Rifle, then he is effective at short range, as the best thing to do is stay at long range and use things like the noob combo . If he is charging at you or attacking someone else with an Energy Sword, engage him at long range with precise head-shots to bring down his shields and kill him without getting too close. Taking out a leader will effectively cause the other Sangheili members of his platoon to become confused, but not near as much as with [[Grunts]]. | |||

The Sangheili are proficient combatants. While most of them prefer using [[Energy Sword]]s, {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s, [[Type-51 Carbine]]s, and [[Needler]]s, their strength and versatility allow them to utilize ''both'' UNSC and Covenant weaponry in the battlefield. | The Sangheili are proficient combatants.

Sangheili can hold heavy weaponry such as the [[Rocket Launcher]] with one hand, unlike normal Marines or even [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN IIs]]. Their marksmanship is not to be underestimated, as they can quickly gun down opponents from afar. In close quarters, the Sangheili will often rely on melee combat, given the opportunity. They can use whatever weapon they have to bludgeon their opponents with great effect. | Sangheili can hold heavy weaponry such as the [[Rocket Launcher]] with one hand, unlike normal Marines or even [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN IIs]].

| | |Run up close, or take good aim, and then throw it at an Sangheili. If it becomes scared, it runs toward the rest of its squad, blasting them as well. If it has not seen you, it will sometimes just stand there and look at the grenade, sometimes also growling in fury, or charge in a random direction. Beware against higher-ranking Sangheilis or on higher difficulty levels as most Sangheilis, when stuck with a Plasma Grenade, will attempt to rush you, killing you in the explosion. In these circumstances simply back-pedal and fire at the Sangheili to stagger it until the Plasma Grenade detonates. Even if you miss your quarry, you can finish it off with a single shotgun headshot or a few headshots. | ||
