Yanme'e Minor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:02, September 23, 2011

Template:Ratings Template:Covenant Rank Infobox The Yanme'e Minor is the lowest Yanme'e rank. A Yanme'e Minor flies slower than Yanme'e Majors. All the Yanme'e that are encountered in Halo 2 are Minors; there are no Majors. They are often seen commanded by Yanme'e Leaders in Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach.

Rank

Yanme'e Minors are the lowest in the Yanme'e caste. They are commanded by Yanme'e Majors, Kig-yar, and Unggoy Majors. They seem equal, if not even inferior in rank, to the Unggoy Minors, placing them at the very bottom of the Covenant hierarchy. However, they also might be higher in rank than the Unggoy due to the fact that they appear alongside Jiralhanae and Elites in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Like the Unggoy Minors, however, they seem to be extremely low in rank due to the fact that even a Jackal Minors command them.

Combat

Usually found equipped with Plasma Pistols, Needlers, and rarely Plasma Rifles, Yanme'e Minors are very low in rank but, like Unggoy, are quite a threat in big groups. They are also fairly good shots, especially on Legendary and Heroic. Most of the time, Yanme'e Minors appear in large swarms and can be quite dangerous. Yanme'e Minors, while powerful in swarms, are weak individually. They can be taken down easily and often make tactical errors such as flying into an enemy's line of sight or getting in the path of their ally's shot. Yanme'e Minors also land on the ground occasionally, making them extremely vulnerable to melee attacks.

Yanme'e Minors can be taken down easily with an SMG, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, Needler or Plasma Rifle. Super-combining needles will cause an explosion large enough to take out most, if not the all, of the Yanme'e in the group. However, as the Halo 2 Official Strategy Guide points out, they can be deadly in conjunction with Unggoy, Kig-yar, Sangheili, and Jiralhanae.

Appearance

In Halo 2, Drone Minors all have green exoskeletons, and in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, they always have yellow exoskeletons. In Halo 3: ODST, however, they have green, blue, and silver exoskeletons.

They also need to land occasionally, which makes them ''extremely'' vulnerable.
