As dedicated transports for infantry and vehicles, the Spirit is capable of carrying up to thirty passengers—with fifteen being held in each troop bay. Up to two light-armored vehicles such as two [[Ghost]]s, one heavy-armored vehicle such as a [[Wraith]], or other possible payloads such as supply canisters for ground troops can also be carried. As aforementioned, these payloads are ferried underneath the dropship via its gravity hoist.

Ground personnel can also be retrieved to the dropship via the dropship's [[gravity lift]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref>

T-25 Spirits were used by the Covenant for decades.

While many ex-Covenant factions started phasing out the T-25 Spirit in favor of the T-57 Spirit the [[Banished]] continued to use modified T-25 Spirits. These Banished Spirits had their contragravity system reengineered so the chassis could handle the strain of transporting prefabricated buildings for [[Outpost]]s.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#Banished Units|Phoenix Logs - Spirit]]</ref> The Banished utilized many T-25 Spirits against the crew of the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].<ref name="HW2">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref>

The best tactic, if on lower difficulty levels, is to attack the vulnerable infantry (shoot or toss a grenade) as they disembark from the Spirit. On higher difficulties, this would be unwise; hiding behind cover until the ship leaves is often the best course of action in this situation. Without cover or good tactics, a careless player might die quickly.

===''Halo Wars''===
In ''Halo Wars'', the Spirit only appears in the campaign and cannot be used in multiplayer or Skirmish. It is a fast dropship used to deliver large numbers of troops on the battlefield. Unlike ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Spirit is not indestructible: it is advisable that players should eliminate it before the troops it carries disembark. Once the troops are on the ground, it cannot be destroyed.
The preferred units for taking down an airborne Spirit are [[M9 Wolverine]]s, [[AV-14 Hornet]]s, and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s. Spirits in ''Halo Wars'' do not engage enemy targets and are only seen in the [[campaign]], mainly on the mission [[Dome of Light]] and [[Repairs]]. Spirits in ''Halo Wars'' utilize gravity lifts to deploy and pick up troops, rather than the side-mounted troop bay doors as in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo: Reach''.

Spirits in ''Halo Wars 2'' act similar to their ''Halo Wars'' counterparts, but will fire at enemies. The Banished are able to use them to drop off troops in both campaign and multiplayer.
