Battle[]
The Elite Grenadier is a support-fire type of enemy, with superior firepower compared to the Grenadier. He'll mostly remain in the backline using Napalm to supplement the main infantry, and will rarely engage in close-range combat. Napalm covers more area and deals more damage than the Grenadier's Grenade Shot.
Much like the vast majority of human-type enemies, the Elite Grenadier is weak against Fire. Similarly to the Grenadier, they are weak and vulnerable on their own, although having higher stats compared to the Security Officer. Napalm is a telegraphed ability with a slow moving arc projectile, being easy to avoid.
Hard mode[]
On the hard difficulty the Elite Grenadier will use Napalm more often.
Strategy[]
Elite Grenadier can pose a threat when the player is fighting multiple enemies, as he will remain safe on the backline shooting grenades. Ideally, they should be the first enemies to be dispatched, to avoid the support-fire. The player can quickly close the gap and lay into them with Cloud's Punisher Mode and use 
Fire.
