Yanme'e Majors are more skilled in combat than [[Drone Minors|Yanme'e Minors]] and often wield [[Needlers]] or [[Brute Plasma Rifles]]. On [[Easy]] and [[Normal]] difficulties, they do not use the Needler's super-combine ability. However, on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties, it is recommended the player takes cover frequently to regain lost stamina as Yanme'e Majors do use the Needler's super-combine ability.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} | Yanme'e Majors are more skilled in combat than [[Drone Minors|Yanme'e Minors]] and often wield [[Needlers]] or [[Brute Plasma Rifles]].

As with all enemies who move in groups, super-combining Needler rounds will produce an explosion that will most likely kill multiple Yanme'e in the group. One can also use ballistic fire, but some Yanme'e Majors have shields, especially in the presence of [[Engineers]], hence making ballistic fire ineffective to a certain extent. Using [[Noob Combo]] is a good tactic. Yanme'e Majors also land on the ground much less often than their Minor brethren, making them less vulnerable to melee attacks.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} | ||
In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', however, they are represented differently, with a more unique appearance. This may suggest that the Major is actually a caste that one must be born into in order to be able to hold the rank, or it might still be representative of biological growth that allows them to be promoted. The appearance of the [[Yanme'e Ultra]] is even more drastically unique. | In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', however, they are represented differently, with a more unique appearance.
