Hold Attack 1 to shoot a steady stream of electricity.
Doomproof Forcefield
Press and hold Attack 3 to protect yourself with an electromagnetic shield and collect far away gear bits. Release to explode the shield and damage nearby enemies.
Using Shield Striker
Of all Land Vehicles, Shield Striker most closely resembles the immovable object. It feels so sluggish that you think nothing can move it, even its own engine! Doomproof Forcefield keeps out any attack. Not even Tiki Speaky’s lightning can penetrate it. Anytime the lock-on appears, activate Doomproof Forcefield. The fact that it explodes is an added bonus.
Crowd Control is a pleasant surprise. Once it’s activated and acquires a target, it tracks that target without input from you. Most non-missile weapons require a more hands-on approach.
Racing Against Shield Striker
Do not allow Shield Striker to get the lead. If no one is in front of Shield Striker depleting its supply of Ammo Pods, it’s difficult to slow it down. You can’t nudge it because it’s too heavy and you’ll eat a few Doomproof Forcefield explosions for your effort. Look for a wide spot in the track where you can pass safely and avoid Doomproof Forcefield explosions.
