Wiki Mimics and Shield Boosters

[Hearteater]

On the Zenith Remnant Expansion Page it mentions Shield Boosters.  These became Shield Bearers, right?

Shield Boosters (I-IV variants)
Strong fighter in its own right, it also gives a 2x shielding bonus to nearby ships on your team. These are basically the opposite of Munitions Boosters from the base game: rather than increasing your outgoing firepower, they greatly increase your ships' shields, thus making them harder for enemy ships to hit.

There are actually cases where 30+ bombers have a hard time taking out an otherwise-unprotected command station simply because it was being boosted by several shield boosters. This then provided the opportunity for reinforcements to arrive, kill the bombers, and provide time for a proper force field to be rebuilt, rather than the planet being lost. These things are equally valuable on infrastructure defense and on the front lines.

And similar on the Children of Neinzul Expansion Page, Youngling Mimics became Nanoswarms?

Neinzul Youngling Mimic (I-IV and Core variants)
Has very weak, very slow weapons. However, every time it strikes a non-reclamation-immune target ship of equal or lower mark level, the mimic creates a full-health copy of that target ship. That copied ship loses health quickly over time, and can't be repaired, the same as the Neinzul ships themselves. Copies that are lower mark level than the mimic that created them last longer.

• Thanks to Buttons840 for suggesting.

Shield Boosters are still around, but they have since been renamed to Armor Boosters, to follow the shield (the numeric attribute) to armor rename.


For the mimic, yea, I think those became nanoswarms.

I just corrected the Armor Boosters entry on the TZR page and updated a number of other entries; if someone with wiki access can think of a good description for the nanoswarm (or just copy the game's one) to replace the Mimic entry I'd appreciate it

So that must mean Shield Bearers came in for Light of the Spire?  They aren't listed there under New Bonus Ships.  Just the SC version appears on the Light of the Spire Expansion Page.

Shield Bearers are base game.

[Hearteater]

That explains why I couldn't find them in the expansions then .

Clever, aren't they, hiding in plain sight.  Perhaps they adjusted the color output of their forcefield to pink to form a SEP field?

Done.  I just used the in-game description.
