Kig-Yar Minor: Difference between revisions

The equivalent rank in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]], and successor, is the [[Kig-Yar Storm]] rank. They perform virtually the same tasks as the minor, and are given the same spot in the rank hierarchy.

Kig-Yar Minors are known for wielding Plasma Pistols 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 plasma 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 Jackal 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 a Plasma Pistol. Once the personal arm shield collapses, the Kig-Yar Minor is open to all attacks.
