Castiel's Protection is a legendary variant of the standard Shield module in Everspace 2. It has greatly increased capacity and recharge speed (+100%) at the cost of a slightly longer recharge delay and a much longer shutdown duration. Its unique effect creates two invincible and intangible decoys of the player ship after shield depletion that fly around randomly, drawing enemy fire. They disappear when the shutdown duration is over.
Notes[ | ]
- For notes on passive effects, variants, and modifiers, see Shields.
- The increased shutdown duration is often mitigated by the decoys, allowing the player to regenerate shield without taking much armor/hull damage.
- Pairs well with the EMP Generator's Shield Surge mode - the decoys will persist after gaining shield hitpoints back with the EMP as it does not affect the shutdown duration.
- When the ship is not moving, the decoys will align themselves to the left and right of the ship.
- Rewarded upon completion of the Detoxification side mission.
