| rdfs:comment | - Elite Soldier is an enemy from Final Fantasy VIII. They are Galbadian officers that act together with G-Soldiers and can use recovery magic.
- Elites wear heavy armor and can withstand up to half a magazine of M82 Assault Rifle fire, compared to standard Helghast soldiers who can be killed with just 3 or 4 shots from the M82. They can be killed with a single headshot from the sniper secondary fire mode of the M66-SD Submachine Gun, or by sustained fire from heavy automatic weapons like Rico Velasquez's M224-A3 Heavy Support Weapon or their own StA-3 Light Machine Guns.
- The Elite Soldier Unlike Rangers and Commandos, the Elite Soldier is not a special forces unit, but "simply" a higher-trained unit for regular combat missions. Elite Soldiers are chosen for their loyalty and mental and physical characteristics, receiving better training and equipment. This translates to higher HP, higher weapon damage, higher accuracy, higher armor, higher movement speed, higher reaction speed, higher range, higher morale and higher endurance. Elite soldiers are also recurringly armed with both anti-infantry and anti-armor weaponry. Compared to the Ranger and Commando, they do not excel through the use of covert skills or reduction of armor to increase mobility and reduce footprint - Elite Soldiers make use of armored transports and combat armor to the same, or higher, deg

Compared to the Ranger and Commando, they do not excel through the use of covert skills or reduction of armor to increase mobility and reduce footprint - Elite Soldiers make use of armored transports and combat armor to the same, or higher, degree than regular infantry.
- Elites wear heavy armor and can withstand up to half a magazine of M82 Assault Rifle fire, compared to standard Helghast soldiers who can be killed with just 3 or 4 shots from the M82. They can be killed with a single headshot from the sniper secondary fire mode of the M66-SD Submachine Gun, or by sustained fire from heavy automatic weapons like Rico Velasquez's M224-A3 Heavy Support Weapon or their own StA-3 Light Machine Guns. Elites are first encountered in Mission 2, "Vekta Evacuates", and are encountered throughout the campaign. For most of the game, Elites are deployed as support troops, usually operating in pairs and working alongside squads of normal Helghast infantry. Their heavy armor and machineguns allow them to lay down sustained fire while resisting return fire. From Mission 9 onwards, Elites begin to deploy in full squads of several at once, fully replacing the standard Helghast infantry in large sections of the game. Elites deployed in full squads often carry StA-52 Assault Rifles instead of machineguns. Because of their increased durability and skill, these squads of Elites are a significantly greater threat than earlier squads of regular Helghasts.
