What is the best way to stun shielded enemies?
Does that stun baton ignore the shield?
And what about the VERY expensive prize Saya? I got it, but it didn`t give me any clear benefit.
Shields are best handled by shotguns, you want to do alot of damage for as little TU as possible. Shoot off the shield apply stun tool of choice.
As to what bypasses a shield depends on what type of shield. Type 1 shields, personnel refractors, which appear in yellow are 50% resistant to laser, take full damage from plasma, electricity, and warp, 200% from fire, 250% from emp, and everything else passes through. So a daze type weapon is the best stun tool here.
Type 2, personnel shields which are blue, take full damage from laser, plasma, electricity, warp, pierce, daze, and cutting. 250% from emp and everything else passes through. So the only nonlethal weapon here is the impaler. If you dont have that strip off the shield and then apply stun weapon.
Type 3 iirc correctly takes 250 from emp, bypassed only by bio, and takes full from everything else.
Buying saya allows you to trade alliance tokens for pillow books and mutant porn in the manufacture screen(project is Pillow Book (Saya). All the bounty groups have something similar to spend excess tokens on.
