The '''Geode''' (or Shield Geode) is a featured [[Expeditions | Chaos]] enemy. They are known for being ancient war devices that have been deployed to deflect incoming projectile attacks. == Behavior =={| style="overflow-x:auto"|-| [[File:Geode Projectile Deflection.gif|270px|left]]|| Geodes emit has moderate health, deals no damage, and generates a large shield bubble around itself that blocks all deflects projectiles in random directions. Reflected projectilescan 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, but 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 projectile firing pawn-based defenses can be pierced by used since they travel beyond the shield bubble to attack the geode core. == Appearance ==For Expeditions, Incursions and Mastery, Geodes first appears in [[FlamethrowersExpeditions#Chaos_III | Chaos 3]], . They then also appear in all [[Expeditions | Chaos]] difficulties above [[RamstersExpeditions#Chaos_III | Chaos 3]].  In Onslaught, Vanguards starts appearing from floor 9 onwards as part of schedules with '''"Geo"''' prefixes.

Or is it a device? I can’t really tell. The little guy doesn’t eat. Doesn’t drink. Just follows orders. But it gets angry if you poke it with a spear as one of our scouts discovered. RIP Eddie. You were an idiot, but the kind of idiot everyone needs in a group. You completed us!'' :''We saw the Orcs testing the Geode in their training exercises. It emits some sort of shield when activated. I wonder if the Geode itself is vulnerable to attack. Hmm, maybe it wasn’t angry when Eddie hit it with the spear. Maybe it was scared.”'' == Gallery =={| class="wikitable"|-report-3-geological-discovery----| <gallery>File:Geode.jpg|_{Geode Teaser}</gallery>|| [[File:CyborkGifTrials Report 3 - Geodes.gifmp4|200px]] _{Trials Report #3 - Geodes}|} == History ==* '''[Early Access] 19.0''' : Introduced.
