Projectile Energy Shield is a projectile modifier spell that attaches a small energy shield to the affected projectiles, which will deflect other projectiles that strike the shield. The modifier also adds a lifetime component to the cast, limiting lifetime between 150-250 frames.
Combat Tips
This modifier is most effective on spells that cast multiple projectiles, like Freezing Gaze or トリプリケイトボルト, but will also be highly effective when applied with a multicast, or on a wand with multiple spells per cast.
It has limited offensive use due to the spell speed reduction effect it imparts, although combining it with other modifiers and certain spells can help work around some of its downsides.
The individual shields it creates are small, so a barrage of shots with a decent amount of spread will fare the best defensively. Combining this modifier with multicast cards like Formation - Hexagon or Formation - Trifurcated can easily cover a large area with shields.
Projectiles can damage and disable their attached shield when initially fired. For example, エネルギーオーブs consistently disable attached shields when fired[1], and Bubble Sparks with Damage Plus will disable attached shields if fired at certain angles.
Some projectiles will have attached shields that point to the right regardless of the direction in which they are fired.
