Seraphs have demonstrated that they are an effective counter-weapon against [[UNSC]] [[Longsword]] fighters. They usually attack in formations of ten, with their assaults on enemy ships ranging from simple harassment, to full out strafing attacks. They have also been seen patrolling in pairs. Unlike the Banshee, Seraphs are equipped with energy shields, but these are only a fraction of the strength of those on larger ships and are easily dispersed. | Seraphs have demonstrated that they are an effective counter-weapon against [[UNSC]] [[Longsword]] fighters.

A Seraph can also be viewed in intricate detail on the levels [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] and [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]], where it is in the central hangar where the Arbiter defeated the [[Sesa 'Refumee|heretic leader]].

The Seraph Starfighters are also seen in [[Halo 3]] during the cutscene of ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' where they are escorting the Brute capital vessels as they engage the [[Sangheili]] battle group. They are seen also during that cutscene using their heavy plasma cannons to attack several Pelicans, destroying one, as the dropships carried troops down onto [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. Occasionally, they are even seen in the sky on the level The Ark, apparently Elite-controlled as they dart around the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' without attacking or being attacked by carrier. | The Seraph Starfighters are also seen in [[Halo 3]] during the cutscene of ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' where they are escorting the Brute capital vessels as they engage the [[Sangheili]] battle group.
