Jiralhanae Bodyguards are usually seen wielding [[Type-25 spiker]]s, plasma rifles, Covenant carbines, maulers, and occasionally Brute shots for greater range. Despite its resemblance to a Jiralhanae Captain's armor, a Bodyguard's light, pale blue [[Jiralhanae power armor|Power Armor]] is actually only around the same strength as a [[Jiralhanae Major]]s. On Heroic and Legendary, it only takes 1 [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|beam rifle]] or [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] shot to destroy their power armor, while 2 shots are required to destroy the power armor of a [[Jiralhanae Captain]] of any rank. On [[Heroic]] difficulty, it takes roughly 29 [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] bullets to kill a Jiralhanae Bodyguard; 10 shots to drop their shield, and an additional 19 shots to kill them. | Jiralhanae Bodyguards are usually seen wielding [[Type-25 spiker]]s, plasma rifles, Covenant carbines, maulers, and occasionally Brute shots for greater range.

Jiralhanae Bodyguards almost always carry one piece of equipment; a [[power drain]], [[bubble shield]], or [[regenerator]]. They seem to overwhelmingly favor the regenerator, often using it to support their Chieftain by helping to rapidly recharge his shields. | Jiralhanae Bodyguards almost always carry one piece of equipment; a [[power drain]], [[bubble shield]], or [[regenerator]].

When encountering a Jiralhanae [[pack]] that is led by a Chieftain, it is standard Jiralhanae tactics for the [[Jiralhanae Minor]]s/Majors to advance on the player while the Bodyguards hang back to protect the Chieftain, even going so far as to move into the player's line of fire to shield the Chieftain with their bodies if he starts taking gunfire from long range. If the Chieftain retreats (such as during the final encounter in [[The Storm]]), the Bodyguards will also fall back with him while the remaining Unggoy and Jiralhanae remain behind to delay the player's advance. Jiralhanae Chieftains are typically accompanied by 2 to 4 Bodyguards. | When encountering a Jiralhanae [[pack]] that is led by a Chieftain, it is standard Jiralhanae tactics for the [[Jiralhanae Minor]]s/Majors to advance on the player while the Bodyguards hang back to protect the Chieftain, even going so far as to move into the player's line of fire to shield the Chieftain with their bodies if he starts taking gunfire from long range.

Jiralhanae Bodyguards can quickly dispatch the [[John-117|player]]'s shield with plasma rifles | Jiralhanae Bodyguards can quickly dispatch the [[John-117|player]]'s shield with plasma rifles and maulers. Their power armor is highly susceptible to plasma-based weaponry, with the plasma rifle and the plasma pistol's overcharge shot greatly exemplifying this. As with other power armor, once disabled, its shielding will not recharge. With their helmets removed, any head shot will then quickly eliminate the Bodyguard. A single headshot from the beam rifle or sniper rifle will kill a fully armored Jiralhanae Bodyguard, even on Legendary difficulty. | ||
