They are by far the worst boss to fight. At least with Warden Eternal you can take out the watchers to stop his health regen. With soldier commandos, if you don’t have the entire team systematically popping out of cover to make sure the shields stay down and avoiding his rockets, you are completely screwed. Not only that, they spawn with a massive escort of high level knights and soldiers. Ridiculous.
Soldier commandos are weaker, can be assassinated, hell if it’s tight areas they are in, just use a suppressor to rip their armor off and headshot them.
Tier 2 Hydra Launchers are my best friend when dealing with these guys. You still should stick with your fireteam but the Hydra really does a number on the commandos and can be reloaded fast enough to beat the shield regen.
Really ? I find them the easiest. Because you can just squash them with ghosts.
I find the Knight bosses, mech grunt much much tougher.
Guys, I meant the soldier commandos on Skirmish at Darkstar, the ones in the mantises.
Oh those then yeah they are hard.
He doesn’t mean normal soldiers, he means the ones in mantises, you know the unrealistically tough ones that don’t die from multiple wraith bombardments.
Three charged plasma casters sticks on them will kill them. Or was it four? It’s one of those. Just make sure you stick them with charged plasma caster shots.

Oh, never mind on my previous post then. Confused them with the Knights.
As for the Commando Soldiers in the Mantises, by the time you get to that level, you should have Req Level 5 or better so you that everyone on the team can get a Scorpion or a Wraith, and just bombard them to smithereens. That’s how my regular fireteam of 8 beat them and won.
You can run them over with a wraith, but only if you do it as they spawn. And chances are you might not get the boss kill for it. At least that’s how it used to work, maybe it got fixed.
Plamsa Pistol Tier 2 or Tier 3, easy job with teammates.

Haven’t tried hydra launchers against knights, thanks for the tip.
The shields are really pesky and regen really fast. Everything is so overpowered in FF as well

My bad.
So tanks are the best option for these guys then?
I still haven’t had the luxury of fighting these guys

Yeah. That’s been fixed.
I always use a Wraith or Ghost Ultra to make sure the shields stay down.
OH MY GOD!
YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY USE TEAMWORK!
What is this blasphemy?!

It’s kind of hard to coordinate with 7 mutes on an enormous map where there are THREE bosses that requires the entire team to participate.
