Strengths

  • +Energy shield blocks all frontal ballistic and explosive damage.
  • +Can tank significant damage from the front while allies attack.
  • +Shield makes them harder to use as quick Chainsaw fodder.

Weaknesses

  • -Blood Punch bypasses the shield entirely.
  • -Extremely fragile once the shield is removed.
