Most [[Sangheili]], many [[Jiralhanae]], and some high-ranking [[Yanme'e]] are equipped with [[Sangheili personal energy shield|energy shields that are integrated into the wearer's armor]], or, in the latter case, carapace.

[[Kig-Yar]] warriors use [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|energy shield gauntlets]] that protect them from most oncoming fire but leaves them vulnerable to flanking attacks and grenades. The Covenant often use [[Huragok]] to provide energy shielding to troops on the battlefield. The Covenant also utilize [[overshield]]s, which provide additional layers of energy shielding to the wearer, and [[Regenerator|energy shield regenerators]]. Sangheili and Jiralhanae warriors sometimes use armor lock systems, from which the UNSC technology was reverse-engineered; Jiralhanae are able to use this technology even without [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]]. | ||
Though the [[Hierarchs]] are not meant to encounter combat, their [[anti-gravity chair]]s emit powerful energy shields. They are able to deflect all forms of projectile, plasma, and explosive weaponry and seemingly never become depleted. However, one can simply walk through the shield. The shield used by [[Tartarus]], the [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]], was much different and seems to have to be actively turned on. His shield could deflect nearly all attacks save for those of a captured [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|beam rifle]]. A similar, though much less potent, technology is often used by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae chieftains]]; this "[[invincibility]]" device lasts only a matter of seconds, though it renders the user impervious to small arms fire. The device can also be used by personnel who do not otherwise possess energy shielding, such as UNSC [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST'''</ref> | Though the [[Hierarchs]] are not meant to encounter combat, their [[anti-gravity chair]]s emit powerful energy shields.
