Shield
Some enemies have a shield which reduces the taken damage but it can be destroyed with most of the special-attacks.
The shield is indicated by a second bar above the enemie's lifebar and has a fast regeneration.
It's strength and regeneration depend on the number of goblins. The data below shows the shield's strength when 4 players are in a run. For each free player-slot the strength of the shield is reduced by 10%. E.g. when there are 2 players in a run, all shield only have 80% of the full strength.
The following enemies have a shield available:
| Shield | Reg/sec | Damage-reduction | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Elemental | 100 | 50 | 50% |
| Crystal Elemental | 200 | 30 | 75% |
| Mud Crab | 200 | 70 | 75% |
| Suicide Rat | 100 | 100 | 100% |
| Orc Slave | 400 | 120 | 80% |
| Elven Warrior Ghost | 150 | 50 | 70% |
| Stag Beetle | 150 | 50 | 75% |
| Lava Worm | 300 | 80 | 75% |
| Elven Prince | 500 | 300 | 75% |
Shield-Break
The shield gets broken when reaching zero strength. Due to it's fast regeneration it has to be damaged continuously. Tip: Most weapon-specials can break shields instantly.
When the shield is broken it cannot regenerate. This is indicated by a blue broken shield symbol above the enemy - so it can take damage again.
