Elite by far.They have energy shield which makes em' harder.You can't take em' out with one grenade like the jackels.

id rather face 20 grunts than a jackal from long range, although once you beat the game on legendary a few times then it starts to get a whole lot easier, grunts are annoying because they dont stand their ground and fight like an intellegent being

the elite has the shield so he is by far the toughest. the jackals can be easily defeated using the charge shot from the plasma pistol. The hunter only takes one shot from the pistol, the grunts run away all the time, and the marines dont even fight back

on the 2nd stage me and my brother saw 6 red elites at once the elites is really hard to kill with grants its like you do i shoot frist grants or the eiltes. the jackals are a pain to kill the easy way to kill them is with a grenade.

The Black Elite. The black are hard because of their powered up shield and they throw grenades. I wouldn't say any enemy is hard anymore, campaign is just too easy.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Yellow elites with swords. They take at least one rocket to kill because they have so much shield, and if they get close enough to attack you...

Invisable elites and invisable elites with sword.... bastards i cant see. Jackels are the most annoying they almost never miss damn charge shot.

The Hardest enemy is on Two Betrayels in a narrow corridor. A flood with a rocket launcher.

Elite definitely. I remember when i was a noob long ago and i thought Hunters were gods. They're absolutely pathetic in comparison!

It depends on the situation. If you don't have any grenades or a
plasma pistol, groups of Jackals can be beasts. I normally
don't have much trouble with Elites unless I only have human
weapons. (a rare case, with the exception of a sniper rifle)
Grunts are never a problem, and neither are Hunters.

I find myself in trouble with groups of Jackals most becuase I like
to use grenades on everything, and my plasma pistol ammo runs
down quick too.

EDIT: btw, if you guys are having trouble with Elites, try hitting
them with the plasma pistol and immediately sticking them
with a plasma nade. The stun makes it really easy to peg those
guys. Using the plasma pistol with the M6D makes for an easy two
shot kill too. (head shot) After I watched some vids of Mike Miller
on legendary, Elites seemed to drop like flies.

Yes, I do know that it works well to use plasma weapons on them. I just usually have a shotgun and assault rifle because I'm usually more worried about flood. I don't play Legendary too much, though.

Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Grunts by far are the hardest on Ledgendary.

One time, when i was playing The Two Betrayels, i was flyin a banshee to the canion b gernerator thing,and was just killing all the enemy on the deck. Anyway, on one flyby of the deck, a grunt decided to throw a grenade at me. By luck - and my stupidity - the grenade just so happens to hit me. So, in an attempt to save myself, i try and get out of the banshee, then I relised that the grenade was stuck to me.

Dang that's good aim!

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Elites are the toughest. The others can be wiped out easily with a couple grenades and pistol shots. None of the other enemies have full body shields or dodge grenades and vehicles that well either.

JACKALS SUCK!!! elites arnt much better, but atleast there arent five at once, but you use the same tactic for both, charge plasma pistal to take out da shield and gun down! its just the fact that the Jackals swarm that make them hard!

Elites come in pairs, which makes them a real pain in the ass. If they came in ones, then it would be a whole lot easier. You go for one and he just dodged you while the other one fires his PR at your back. That's why I like Co-Op!

I don't know if alot of people know this...but marines can go into a berserker mode like the elites do to. When they go low on health. Hunters are by far the easiest...no joke i'm sure you'll agree. Elites are susceptible (vulnerable) to plasma grenades...and one takes them out. Covenant weapons RULE!!!!!! (against them). Jackals are quite tricky....seems a waste to use a grenade on them sometimes. Like when your in a rush. After completing legendary a few times...grunts are just cute....:)

Golden Elite Plasma sword wielding!! If you only have human weapons and no grenades..expect to spend half the day shooting it.
I think the invisible elites are hardest. Especially in the silent cartographer (rifle wielding)
