Shield-Bearer Construct

Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

Shield-Bearer Constructs are defensive Zonai guardians stationed at entry checkpoints and patrol posts. They carry large energy shield modules that block direct frontal attacks. Their role in mixed Construct groups is to create a defensive barrier while Archer Constructs fire from behind them.

Weakness

Flank attack — Shield-Bearer Constructs only protect the front; attack from behind

How to Beat Shield-Bearer Construct

Shield-Bearer Constructs block all frontal attacks with their energy shield. Running around them to attack from behind is the simplest solution. Use Ultrahand to physically move the shield aside and attack the exposed core. Bomb Arrows lobbed overhead clear the shield.
