Elite

Over time, units gain experience against the enemy and eventually they level up, usually depending on number of enemies destroyed and type of enemy. Elite units are symbolized with stripes on their unit. The highest is refered to as elite units. In Red Alert and sequels, it's marked with three bars. In the Tiberium Universe, it's marked with 5 bars. Elite units are stronger, more agressive, self healing, fires faster, and are better overall. Elite units can be achieved when a unit, generally low such as GIs, Guardian GIs, Grizzly Tanks, Light Tanks, Buggies, etc. destroy a heavy and large structure such as the Construction Yard or Ore Refinery/Tiberium Refinery. These are the best units to achieve. If enemy(ies) have elite units, engage them with full force head-on to kill it first. Whenever Elite units sighted, make them your priority. Against the Black Guards, however, players can simply chrono the tanks into water, as it can kill them immediately.
