Elites are a special type of enemy that was introduced in Destiny 2. They take up the role of what D1 Majors had, with the latter becoming akin to mini-bosses.

Overview

The first striking feature of an Elite is their orange health bar, larger than that of an equivalent Minor. They are usually distinct from the rest of their fellows by various means, and ofter carry more powerful weapons, moves faster and dodge more frequently. Common Elites are identified by adjectives preceeding their unit names, usually the same one across a race, but they can also be given different names when they serve roles related to activity mechanics (such as the Eyes of Riven or the Knight Echoes).

In the Hidden Swarm, elites have bone white chitin with red painted symbols or cloth. In the Lucent Brood, elites are identified by grayer, more faded chitin on their lower torsos. In the Grasp of Nokris, elites are usually called Unhallowed and identified by larger icy growths over their bodies.

Trivia

  • Since partway through Season of the Risen, Scorn outside of the Dreaming City have changed armor color from ochre to purple. However, sometimes their Elites still appear ochre. It is unknown if this is intended.
