Reflected projectiles can deal massive damage to your own defenses and can cover many of even rarely hit your crystal core. A geode's shield bubble will go down once its alliescore has been destroyed. [[Defenses#Towers|Towers]] inside this Stunning a geode core will also disable the shield are debuffed making them do slightly less damage, though that'll only be temporary as the bubble will become active again once the effect wears off. |}

To deal Avoid using projectile attacks unless you are equipped with a piercer servo or piercer chip. Exceptions like projectile firing pawn-based defenses can be used since they travel beyond the shield bubble to attack the geode core. == Appearance ==For Expeditions, Incursions and Mastery, Geodes you will want to place first appears in [[DefenseExpeditions#AurasChaos_III |AurasChaos 3]], .
