Elite Shield Lancers are defensive Grineer units that carry large impenetrable shields in one hand, and a 
Tonkor in the other. They are larger and more durable than the standard Shield Lancer, and carry a shield with a distinct yellow coloring.
Notes[]
- They spawn in missions with enemy levels 25+.
- This includes nodes controlled by Kuva Liches, even if the original tileset of the node belongs to a faction other than the Grineer.
- Their iron shields are invulnerable to Punch Through. Players will have to reposition themselves behind the enemy or use AoE weaponry to counter this.
- This includes attempts to shoot through clear openings in the shield, which are only visually open and have the same invulnerable mesh.
Tonkor grenades have a blast radius of 7m.- If Mind Controlled they will usually stay in one spot, waiting for enemies to come to it rather than seeking them out.
Tactics[]
- The Tonkor's arming mechanics still apply to Elite Shield Lancers, so staying close will reduce the likelihood of their grenades going off.
