Ultras, [[Councilors]] and [[Zealot]]s, are the only Elites capable of withstanding a point-blank [[shotgun]] blast, assassination or a [[plasma grenade]] stick. They are extremely powerful and are not to be underestimated. On higher difficulties they can kill a careless player almost instantly. | Ultras, [[Councilors]] and [[Zealot]]s, are the only Elites capable of withstanding a point-blank [[shotgun]] blast, assassination or a [[plasma grenade]] stick.

When fighting an Ultra, it is advisable to use heavy weapons due to their strong energy shields. Even then, it will take multiple shots to kill the Elite. The [[Plasma Pistol]] is also highly effective, as it can completely disable their shields with a single overcharged shot, but an Ultra would most likely dodge it with ease, unless they're in a tight place. Like any other Elite, an Ultra will be briefly stunned after the overcharged shot disables their shields. The player should use this opportunity to quickly switch to another weapon, preferably one capable of making head shots ([[Magnum]], [[Battle Rifle]], or [[Carbine]]) and finish off the Ultra. Finally, [[Plasma Grenades]] are useful as well. While sticking an Ultra with a plasma grenade, on [[Legendary]], will not kill it outright, it will deplete most of its shields allowing the player to finish off the Elite relatively quickly. | When fighting an Ultra, it is advisable to use heavy weapons due to their strong energy shields.

If you are to find an ultra with it's back turned, do NOT melee it in the back. This will only take down half it's sheilds and cause it to bring out an [[Energy Sword]].
