Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind. Seraphs usually attack in formations of ten, their assaults on enemy ships range from simple harassment, to full out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs. Unlike the Banshee or Phantom, Seraphs are equipped with energy shields, but these are only a fraction of the strength of those on capital ships and are easily depleted with sustained fire. It is assumed that Seraph fighters can be piloted by a single [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]]. | Seraphs have demonstrated that they are a very effective counter-weapon against Longsword interceptors unless the latter attacks from the side or behind.

The Seraph is armed with a variety of weapons. Seraphs are seen firing a heavy plasma cannon, and are also armed with a pulse laser and plasma charges for strafing and bombing runs. A Seraph's bombing runs are very deadly, as evidenced in [[Operation: TORPEDO]], the [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-III]] [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]]'s attack on a Covenant refinery on [[Pegasi Delta]].
