Sangheili Vs. Vampires

Before I begin, I would like to add two things I forgot to put in the weaponry, and support of the Sangheili. Energy Dagger: The design bears resemblance to the Energy Sword. Unlike the Energy Sword, however, it ends in a single point rather than in dual prongs. The Energy Dagger looks like a miniature Energy sword with a single blade. It is mounted to a device worn on the wrists of the user. It is about half the size of the Energy Sword. This weapon is mounted on both a Sangheili's wrists and is used much like the Energy Sword, but for closer range.

Rebuttal"In this series, vampires aren't destroyed by sunlight, similar to other vampire novels. "I think for this fight we can assume they will be killed by sunlight, as that being one of the most commonly accepted myths on Vampires. Also, it would not hinder them as much, as the fight will take place in a city, so there will be plenty of cover from the sun during the day. "Gunshots, swords, and any injuries that are caused by weapons (that aren't wood) can't kill a vampire, but rather only cause pain. Similarly, illnesses do not affect vampires. "This I will have to ask my opponent to completely remove, as it essentially makes them invincible from any attack the Sangheili could throw at them. "Energy Absorption--Can absorb all types of energy to fuel or heal oneself, along with others. "I'm not to sure on the source for a lot of these abilities, and it would be helpful if you could find a source of Vampires actually using them. However I don't have a problem with most of them except this one. I would only ask that it be reduced in power a little, so that 1) It does not heal or fuel the Vampire and 2) It wears out eventually. ArgumentFor this debate, since it is squad-based and both sides are armed so powerfully I have decided to use the Field Marshal elite class, which are the most powerful non-named elites you can find on the battlefield. The Field Marshall rank falls under the Zealot-class, but appears to outrank regular Zealots. Besides leading large-scale ground operations, Field Marshals are known to lead small strike teams comprised of Zealot officers for operations that require both skill and precision to take out key targets to turn the tide of the war/make a key difference. [2]Source: . http://halo.wikia.com...They are the most powerful and experienced of all the ground fighting Sangheili, having killed thousands of enemies to get their rank. Their shields are strong enough to take a direct hit from a Spartan Laser and not go down(the Spartan Laser destroys most vehicles in the game in one hit). As you can see the Field Marshal is an very deadly foe, and are not t be underestimated. Intimidation: I think we can assume that the Sangheili wins out in intimidation. As shown by the images below, they are big, and terrifying enemies. Also, note that since they are among the highest ranking Sangheili, they are most likely among the biggest, and strongest. This means you could be facing a 8'+ 720lbs. + alien, roaring at you, with a massive sword made of plasma, that wants to kill you. I would ask you to look at the links below for some pictures. . http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net...http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net...http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net...WeaponryI will go more in-depth next round on weaponry, since we do have several more rounds, but essentially, the Sangheili's available weaponry would make him an even more dangerous opponent on the battlefield, allowing him to wreck havoc with the Fuel Rod, snipe with the Beam Rifle, fight in CQC with the Energy Sword/Dagger, or just blast away with the Dual-Wielded Plasma Rifles. SupportShielding: As I have already stated, his shielding would be a enormous advantage on the battlefield, allowing the Sangheili to be battered by enemy attacks, and not even take a scratch. It also would allow him to have less fear of enemy retaliation, since if he gets attacked, he can take a few hits, retreat, and sneak up on the enemy later. Active Camo: The AC would also be a big advantage on the battlefield, as even if the enemy can see the haze it makes, it still makes combat much more difficult, as the AC will make it difficult to keep track of the Sangheili. Regeneration: This is perhaps one of the most useful abilities of the Sangheili. Though it is unknown how, the Sangheili have the ability to regenerate, allowing them to be wounded in combat(after their shields go out), leave, and come back fully healed. I will focus more on weaponry next round, but for now I think that is enough.
