Jiralhanae War Chieftain: Difference between revisions

*In ''Halo 3'', War Chieftains are known to go berserk when a Power Drain is next to them for some odd reason. Leave the Chieftain alone for long enough and it will turn back to normal.

*In the last page of [[Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide|''Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide'']], it shows a ''War Chieftain'' holding a Gravity Hammer, though this is very rarely seen in-game.

*War Chieftains will never shoot up close with a Fuel Rod Gun, in order to avoid splash damage, so it is useful to use a Gravity Hammer or an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] against them. However, try to avoid staying close to them for long, because it might choose to melee you. In ''Halo 3'', if you do get close to a War Chieftain, it is advised to circle strafe right to avoid the melee. If you strafe left, the melee will affect you. If you strafe right, you have a easy assassination. If the War Chieftain goes berserk, do not engage him in close combat; his melees will be harder to avoid. If the War Chieftain doesn't berserk but starts to swing his weapon instead of his fist (that is, if the Chieftain is wielding the Fuel Rod Gun), jump and then quickly turn around and assassinate him.

*The picture of the War Chieftain in the [[Bestiarum]] is actually a picture of a Brute that was scrapped and redesigned in ''Halo 3'''s early stages of development.
