Physical description[]

Clockwork Shielders have a similar appearance to Clockwork Soldiers and Clockwork Archers, but lack a blue eye and cape/hood respectively. They are small in size. They wield a large shield almost the same height and size as their bodies. The shield is colored yellow-orange, the same color as their armor. The shield also appears to have orange-red paint running down from the center.

Weapons[]

Shield: Shielders raise their shields to attract turret fire away from their allies.

Strategies and guides[]

Enemy groups: Shielders commonly appear with Soldiers, Archers and Magicians.
Turrets: Use 1 or 2 Basic Turrets, with a Burning Splash and Acid Bomb. This will help to damage other units, as Burning Splashes and Acid Bombs will always hit enemies within a radius.
Traps: Use Acid Tripwires and Freeze Snares. This can help weaken Shielders as well as prevent them from attracting turret fire if possible.
Special Attacks: Use a mix of the Attack Buff and Acid Touch. They are also useful enemies to sap health out of using the Vampire Drain when low on health.
Super Attacks: Use the Lightning to deal damage towards Shielders and their large groups.
