Line 27:

Kig-Yar Minors are known for wielding [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]]s as their standard weapon of choice. When engaging an enemy, they tend to overcharge their plasma pistols to eliminate enemy [[Spartan-II|Spartans']] energy shields and release volleys of plasma bolts to quickly eliminate them. When engaged by an enemy, Minors will use their personal arm shields to block enemy fire.

When engaging a Kig-Yar Minor from afar, it is best to use a precision weapon such as an [[M6 series|M6 pistol]], [[Battle Rifle]], or [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbine]] and aim at their exposed left hand. From medium range, weapons such as the ~~[[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle~~|plasma rifle]], the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and the [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]] provide good suppressive fire against a Minor, as a hit on their body will cause the Kig-Yar to stumble, momentarily exposing it to a [[melee]] or [[headshot]]. Alternatively, one can eliminate the Kig-Yar's personal arm shield by firing a volley from a plasma rifle or an overcharged shot from the plasma pistol. Once the personal arm shield collapses, the Kig-Yar Minor is open to all attacks.

When engaging a Kig-Yar Minor from afar, it is best to use a precision weapon such as an [[M6 series|M6 pistol]], [[Battle Rifle]], or [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbine]] and aim at their exposed left hand. From medium range, weapons such as the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}, the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and the [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]] provide good suppressive fire against a Minor, as a hit on their body will cause the Kig-Yar to stumble, momentarily exposing it to a [[melee]] or [[headshot]]. Alternatively, one can eliminate the Kig-Yar's personal arm shield by firing a volley from a plasma rifle or an overcharged shot from the plasma pistol. Once the personal arm shield collapses, the Kig-Yar Minor is open to all attacks.

On higher difficulties, players should use either the long-range firing technique using a precision weapon or the overcharged plasma bolt.
