What's the best way to kill prometheans?

In Halo 5, is there any "best" way to kill prometheans? With the dog-like ones, it seems like headshots are effective. But with the soldiers and knights, it seems like headshots and bodyshots are equally effective (in contrast to fighting covenant, where headshots knock-back the enemies and deal more damage). Am I wrong about this? It's very hard for me to tell because there doesn't seem to be knock-back with Prometheans.
What's the optimal way to kill Prometheans of each type?
Best Answer
santyclause's answer is quite good, but some points I would like to add regarding knights.
Knights are more vulnerable to back smacks, but they won't die immediately like soldiers and crawlers. In Warzone game modes there are stronger knights that won't die on just a few hammer or shotgun hits. Knights have also a very weak point in their back after their shields are down that glows just like their face.

How do you fight prometheans?
The Shotgun and Scattershot are good weapons against the Prometheans. Even on Legendary, only 3-4 shots are needed to kill them. Once a Knight's shields are depleted, its helmet will open, exposing its face. Shooting the face with a precision weapon will kill it instantly.Are forerunners and prometheans the same?
Notable individuals. The Prometheans were the highest and most respected group of Warrior-Servants in the Forerunner ecumene. During and after the Human-Forerunner war, they were led by the Ur-Didact.Rnbstylerz \u0026 AREES - WHAT
