The Geode (or Shield Geode) is a featured Chaos enemy. They are ancient war devices that have been deployed to deflect incoming projectile attacks.

Behavior

Geodes has moderate health, deals no damage, and generates a large shield bubble around itself that deflects projectiles in random directions. Reflected projectiles can deal massive damage to your own defenses and even rarely hit your crystal core. A geode's shield bubble will go down once its core has been destroyed. Stunning a geode core will also disable the shield, though that'll only be temporary as the bubble will become active again once the effect wears off.

Strategy

Avoid using projectile attacks unless you are equipped with a piercer servo or piercer chip. Exceptions like Pawn-based defenses that fires projectile could be used since they travel beyond the shield bubble to attack the geode core.

Appearance

For Expeditions, Incursions and Mastery, Geodes first appears in Chaos 3. They then also appear in all Chaos difficulties above Chaos 3.

Boss Variant

Geode Prime - Leader of the Shield Geodes is a larger Geode who has more health than regular Geodes. The shield he generates is significantly larger than regular Geodes. He has a chance of appearing on wave 5 in Chaos 3 and can also appear on Omega Waves (wave 6) in The Lost Temple in Onslaught.

Trivia

• It seems that it was originally intended for Geode Prime to debuff defenses within its shield, but this does not seem to work.
