The Spirit is indestructible, unless a mod for the [[Halo PC|PC]] version is used to enable one shot kills. If so, it will then simply look as if burned, it will lose its ball-turret, and all occupants will die. No amount of firepower that the player can bring to bear is capable of bringing the ship down if no mods are added. The best tactic, if on lower difficulty levels, is to attack the vulnerable infantry (shoot or toss a grenade) as they disembark from the Spirit. On higher difficulties, this would be unwise; hiding behind cover until the ship leaves is often the best course of action in this situation. Without cover or good tactics, a careless player might die quickly. As well as being able to drop of a rather large amount of Covenant troops on the battlefield, the Spirit is also capable og providing heavy support in combat. When dropping off troops, the Spirit will be staionary in the midair for a few seconds, before descending and opening it's troop bay doors located at the outer side of either arm of the vehicle.

Another easy tactic, especially on later parts of the level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]], is to simply drive your [[Warthog]] across the area where the enemies jump out. If done at the right time, you can easily run over all of the disembarking Covenant units.
