Ballistic Shield
The Ballistic Shield is a melee weapon from TABG. It is not used by any unit and is found only in the Unit Creator.
Characteristics
The Ballistic Shield is a rectangular shield with extra protective capabilities. It can fully absorb most projectiles that impacts its upper half, reducing them to sparks before they even hit. This can completely negate the projectile's effect on the user. The projectile absorption is not infinite however; after absorbing 10 projectiles, it will have a 1 second cooldown before it can absorb 10 projectiles again.
When shot under cooldown or at the lower half of the Ballistic Shield, it will behave and function just as a normal shield, blocking all non-penetrating projectiles. It can nullify damage from non-piercing bullets as well, though this is not always the case. It also protects well against all sorts of melee attacks.
Units wielding the Ballistic Shield will try to bash their opponents with it. As it is more defense oriented, its combat stat is awful, having extremely low damage output as well as having a longer cooldown than the average melee weapon. Its range is also typical of a melee weapon.
List of Absorbable Projectiles
A lot of projectiles can be absorbed by the Ballistic Shield, from arrows and bullets to ballista bolts and magic. Most of the projectile's effects will be neutralized as well, with a few exceptions.
Notes
- Potions will still splash after getting absorbed.
- The Snake will not spawn if its projectile is absorbed by the Ballistic Shield.
- Firework Arrows and Bombs will explode immediately once they get absorbed by the shield.
- Although sparks will form when a Crescent projectile hits the shield, it will still explode and deal damage.
