{{Cleanup}}

This is a page for gameplay tips on the [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman]].

Honor Guard Elites' armor can take as much damage as that of a [[Sangheili Major]]. They carry [[Honor Guard Pike|ceremonial pikes]], but in combat they often make use of energy swords, [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|plasma rifles]], or [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant carbines]]. They seem to [[Dual Wielding|dual wield]] plasma rifles more often than other Elite types. More wary and agile than the [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Brute Honor Guards]], their speed and quick reflexes with the energy sword, paired with their skill with the plasma rifle's rapid fire, made them quite formidable foes.

As with all Shielded foes, the most efficient means of killing them is with the [[Noob Combo]]. Simply overcharge a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] and then fire a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] or Covenant carbine and land a headshot on them. For closer ranges, use the carbine (more damage dealt); for further ranges, use the carbine or the battle rifle. [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shots]] also work to some extent, but, on [[Legendary]], are ultimately overpowered by the incredible rate of power and damage dealt of the plasma rifle. Specifically, for the instance at the end of the level [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]] in the cramped space, the easiest means of killing them is the energy sword, as the Elites can easily hide behind all the cover. Be wary though, as some of them have swords of their own.
