Energy Shield

Magnetic Polarity Shield
Description:

Technically a Magnetic Polarity Shield, it is commonly referred to as an Energy Shield. This power is probably the most useful Goldeneye power in the game. It can be described as regenerating body armor or mobile cover. When under fire the shield obstructs vision and energy consumption increases. Named enemies encountered after obtaining this upgrade also have this shield. When active the energy shield can be used for offense by knocking out an opponent with a melee attack. Also knocks out enemy if they perform a melee attack on Goldeneye with the shield active. This is the only way to obtain the Shield Bash Rouge Bonus.

Power: Energy Shield

Ability: damage negation, instant melee knockout.

Energy consumption: 1-2 energy a second while active, increases when absorbing damage

Energy consumption: 15 energy for enemy melee redirection, 25 for Goldeneye melee kill.

Tactical analysis: Excellent defensive capability under light enemy attack. Negated by weapons and high rate of fire weapons (ie. Predator-MG, Harpoon-RL, Tank Cannon, Omen XR, grenades). Offensive capability useful in close quarters. One of the best overall golden eye powers.
