Elite Shield Lancers are defensive Grineer units that carry large impenetrable shields in one hand, and a Tonkor 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 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 Tonkor's arming mechanics still apply to Elite Shield Lancers, so staying close will reduce the likelihood of their grenades going off.
