But how good at sword fighting are they? And they can be as strong or brutal as they want, that won't prevent them from getting sliced in half. They have no defence.

Aayla, by far. This thread is stupid.Can Elites use the Force? No. Are they suspectible to the Force? Very likely.
And what would make you think that a [b]plasma
sword would be able to hold it's own against hyper focused light? A lightsaber might plain break through it. [/B]
Do we actually know that the Elite's energy sword is a plasma based sword and do we actually know that a lightsaber can break through the energy sword when KoToR had swords that could withstand the lightsaber's force.

Well thats all I have to base them off, sorry (I haven't read any of the Halo novels). Do Elites typically practice melee combat though? They seemed to me more like strong aliens with guns that when they get close enough they stab you with a sword, not duelists. They use it as a simple advantage when necessary, they don't perfect it like the Jedi do.
