Yanme'e Minor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:49, 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, Drone Minors are very low in rank but like the Grunts, when in groups are quite a threat. They also are fairly good shots, especially on Legendary and other higher difficulty levels. Most of the time Drone Minors will be in large swarms against the player, and can be quite dangerous.

Drone Minors, while powerful in swarms, are weak individually. They can be taken down fairly easily, and will often make tactical errors such as flying into an enemy's line of sight, or getting in the path of another Drone's shot. They also need to land occasionally, which makes them extremely vulnerable.

A Drone Minor can be taken down easily with an SMG, Battle Rifle, Plasma Rifle, or Assault Rifle. They are also weak against the Needler. Firing 7 Needles will cause an explosion large enough to take out an entire group of Drones. However, as the Halo 2 Official Strategy Guide points out, they can be deadly in conjunction with Grunts, Jackals, Elites, and Brutes.

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.

-Logically, Drone Minors are the lowest of the Drone ranks. They are commanded by [[Drone Major]]s, [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], and [[Grunt Major]]s. They seem equal, if not even inferior in rank, to the Grunt Minors, placing them at the very bottom of the Covenant hierarchy. However, they also may be higher in rank than the Grunts due to the fact that they appear alongside [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and [[Elites]] in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''.
