Best way to handle them in my opinion as a Soldier is run around them with a Geth Plasma Shotgun. At the same time you keep distance out of their shockwave attack but also makes it hard for them to blast you with their gun.
Would love to give them an Omni-blade to the fucking face if I could.
My least favorite enemy is the Elite from Halo Reach. It's like they're total trolls! They jump out, riddle you with plasma, and if you hit them with even one bullet, they just cartwheel away to recharge their shields. And you can't follow them to finish them off because they run so much faster than you! They also seem to love to just charge at me, closing the distance so fast that I cannot even fire off enough rounds to hurt them. And then they kill me in one melee hit. I swear, those elites are a bunch of honor-less assholes!
I did too, and the skirmishers were probably actually even worse than the elites! The covenant is a bunch of assholes! Except for the grunts; those guys are really annoying when well-armed, but they're so cute! I actually missed being able to hear their conversations like in other Halo games.
Skirmishers I have to say are probably the worst of them all on Legendary. Just because:
1. They're fucking agile as fuck. They also can leap up to ledges and other areas at a very quick jump when they are close enough.
2. They're higher ranks carry duel shields and can make lining up their heads for quick headshots annoying. Even when shooting them in the body they can still take a fair amount of damage.
3. They sometimes come with Focus Rifles. A-holes.
It took me 45 minutes to get out of the hospital with Active Camo in New Alexandria. That was not fun, and probably the hardest part of my Legendary run.
Escaping the hospital? Skirmishers weren't the problem. It was Brutes and Elites the whole way out, with Grunts and Jackals on the way up the amphitheater.
A lot of KOTOR could prove to be difficult, but this guy was the absolute bane of my existence. I tried facing him on every planet thinking maybe this next one would be the one that I can beat him on. Every time he blasted my face clean off of my face. I finally beat him on Manaan. You fight him in a narrow hallway and I lined every last inch of that hallway with mines ahead of time.
On a related note:
FUCK THIS BALD BASTARD.
He was the absolute Bane of my fucking existence. I took great, great pleasure when I finally killed him.
Not to mention, the curve for the Jedi Masters is so ****ing insane. I mean, Kavar was average, Zez-Kai Ell, I took down in ONE FUCKING HIT, and then this bastard.
Seriously,he was harder than fucking Traya. THE FINAL BOSS OF THE GODDAMN GAME.
I think the "Reaper's Banshee" and the "Cerberus Phantom (the sneaky girl with a knife)" from Mass Effect 3 are by far the most frustrating things I have come across in that game's multi-player so far.
Fuck you Bowser, and your 8 sifferent castles. AND your flying axes. AND your obsession with kidnapping Mushroom men that serve no purpose other than to tell me that "Thanks for saving me, but now you have to do it all over again, to maybe find the princess."
God damn you Bowser. God damn you straight to the deepest depths of hell.
Though not an enemy, it's incredibly frustrating that I'm crawling around in Dues Ex since my legs have blown off, but am not in a combat situation, and can't progress since I can't jump. I just need to find a medkit, so I bash every trash can i find as I crawl around like an invalid pushed out of a wheelchair.
