 Shield Emitters are defensive devices that absorb damage directed at the user by expending electrical energy. The amount absorbed varies depending on the [[Impact Speed]] of an attack and the quality of the components used, though all shields generally perform better against higher impact speeds.
-Shield Emitters drain energy while active and they must be toggled on/off manually with {{key|V}} or by clicking on their icon on your action bar. They can be easily recharged with {{key|B}} or by shift-clicking on their icon. However, they cannot be recharged in combat without a [[Shield Recharger]] combat utility.
