The Sangheili warriors are often considered to be the most skilled and capable species within the Covenant military caste. Therefore, the player should often treat them as first priority targets. As they often lead lesser Covenant races such as the [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]], if not neutralized right away, a Sangheili can potentially lead their troops to effectively overwhelm the player.
