here's my comparison:
BRUTE:
-exactly wat it says, BRUTE! it's fast and strong, yet dumb. heavy firepower and speed will make up for their lack of intellect, but it's still a weak point.
ELITE:
-much smarter, yet weaker and slower. all though they're slower physical, i'd bet they're at least twice as fast mentally. i am willing to bet elites r more agile too. agility and speed r totally different, don't confuse them.
so....a brute is just that, pure force and a dim wit. elites r much smarter, yet weaker and slower. elites have shields and armor whereas brutes have thick skin, that part seems to be pretty even. so, which one is harder depends on the situation. if it's a one-on-one in a small, enclosed area, a brute would be harder. it's much harder to dodge and outsmart it. in a big area, it would be ez. so, in some spread out are the elites would be a harder enemy.
also, in the book, MC was good against elites cuz he's had sooooooooo much experience w/ em. brutes it was a first encounter AND he was taken by surprise. if u'll notice though, as soon as he got his head cleared, he quickly outsmarted the brutes and beat em both. so, to whether which is stronger, i think they r fairly even.
another thing i've been thinking about: the prophets probably choose brutes as their protector because they aren't afraid to boss them around. but think of an elite, something that can think for itself. kinda like a human. if u were bossed around over and over again and all others of your kind kept being sent to their deaths, u'd revolt. the elites r very religious, as r the prophets, yet i still since a revolt coming.....
