I FJ I:To further improve this strat. Just dont make elite honor guards. Their only use is capturing hooks and dealing with arby really early game

EGHs are considered by many to be among the best infantry in the game.  As I explained earlier, the most obvious reasons are their shielding, their cloak (for extra defensive bonus and tactical advantages), and the fact that no matter how much damage they take they will continue to do the same amount of damage until they die.  Their biggest draw backs are their speed and melee combat.  A perfect reason why I use Ghosts instead of Jackals for countering Flamethrowers and Jackals.
