Faraday Shield Review

For mechas with tonnages 75-95 this shield will cost you 400 Ferrite, 270 Bioptics, and 66 Crystal. It has a Laser Shield at 28%, and like most crystal shields will bring with it two vulnerabilities in this case it is Missile Vulnerable 9%, and Fire Vulnerable at 4%. Thankfully what I chalk up to shoddy workmanship leading to multiple vulnerabilities at one time aren't too steep on this particular shielding piece. The right mechas will compensate in their build to some degree or another for such exposure, or you can always augment with niode shielding for only 1 vulnerability in most cases or a lack of speed.

Why shielding can never just protect as it is supposed to without leaving you open to another form of damage or slowing down an already slow for the tonnage mech is beyond me but here you go crystal shielding. And yes everything that is crystal in this weight range comes with two vulnerabilities with 9% for the first and 4% for the second across the board. So if you want to send in  review on them be my guest, but really no further need to go into them for me here as we have seen before and will most likely continue to do so, crystal will never come close to competing with niode gear.
