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 normally command a group of six to ten Yanme'e Minors. Some strategies are to stick one of the Yanme'e in the group with a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}, bombard them with Needler or dual-wielded {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}} fire. 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}} | Yanme'e Majors normally command a group of six to ten Yanme'e Minors.
