Jiralhanae Warrior

The Jiralhanae Warrior is a standard Jiralhanae infantry type employed by the Banished usually denoted by their blue or purple armor.

Overview
Often young and inexperienced, warriors are the most common of all Jiralhanae infantry in the Banished. They are outfitted with standard body armor and basic weapons, and must prove themselves in battle in order to climb the ranks. The majority of warriors remain in this role for the entirety of their service to the Banished and often end up dying on the frontlines. Warriors who manage to prove themselves on the battlefield may be granted the title of Chosen Warrior.

Some warriors are given command over other species (such as the Unggoy and Kig-Yar) in order to demonstrate their ability to lead. Other warriors may be given specialized roles, such as thrust-assisted jumpers or high-explosive grenadiers. These specialized warriors are monitored closely by a seasoned captain.

Gameplay
Blue-armored warriors will primarily make use of the and the Mangler, while purple-armored warriors typically use the CQS48 Bulldog and the VK78 Commando. The purple warriors armed with the Bulldog are also equipped with personal energy shields. All warrior variants carry spike grenades.

Like other enemies in Halo Infinite, Jiralhanae warriors may trade their starting weapons for more powerful ones they come across on the battlefield. Occasionally, warriors will go berserk during combat.

Warriors will commonly drive Ghosts, Choppers, and Wraiths

Trivia

 * If grappled by an upgraded grappleshot, shielded warriors will not be electrocuted. They will instead typically assume a defensive posture and freeze themselves in place for several seconds (essentially the same effect). In some cases, however, a shielded warrior will continue moving and firing even while grappled.
