The most dangerous things at close range are Elites with [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]]s. From a distance, the player must also watch out for either [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Jackal Sniper]]s with [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam]] [[Type-27 beam rifle|Rifle]]s or [[Crawler Snipe]]s, [[Soldier Sniper]]s, and/or [[Knight Lancer]]s with [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifle]]s. Grunts are still very easy to dispatch of and will more often than not run away in fear if the Elite or [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] leading them is killed, which is also fairly easy. [[Yanme'e|Drones]], [[Promethean Watcher]]s, [[Promethean Crawler]]s, and [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]] (with the exception of snipers for the latter two) are generally the second easiest to kill, even with their unique capabilities. Elites, Brutes, [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], [[Promethean Soldier]]s, and [[Promethean Knight]]s are around the same overall in difficulty to kill. It mainly depends on a player's weaknesses as to which enemy is harder to kill.

On the ''Halo 2'' level, [[Regret (level)|Regret]], where the player has to kill the [[Prophet of Regret]], his gravity beam will drain around one third of the player's [[energy shield]]. He is fairly easy to kill when the player jumps on him and starts punching him. However, if the player stays on him for a considerably long time, Regret will [[teleport]] away. The [[Honor Guards]] protecting him will not do much damage, unless they have Energy Swords.


When the player encounters the [[Flood]], most [[plasma]] weapons are average and most human weapons are a bit better. The most effective weapon is the Energy Sword, which will kill a [[Combat Form]] in one hit. The second most effective is the [[M90 shotgun|Shotgun]]. The last most effective weapon is the [[Type-25 Spiker|Spiker]]. The Flood's unarmed attacks are not that worrying on their own, but if large groups attack the player or he/she gets hit from behind, then the player has an extremely high chance of being killed.
