    not sure if this has already been answered can't find it anywhere.

    the description reads "Laser damage is increased by 20%; however, shield points are reduced by 25%, shield spread by 5%, and speed by 5%. "

    can some1 explain what shield spread is and what happens when it is reduced by 5% thanks

    It's the opposite of what crab does with the shield / hp ratio when an enemy shoots you. So when you have Drill on 5% more of the enemies damage will go directly to your HP, so sort of like they are using a mini version of the moth vs you.

    Shield penetration is when you are shooting the enemy, so moth has increased shield penetration because it is YOUR lasers vs their ship.

    You are probably thinking of shield absorption, which is the same thing as shield spread.

    Thank you Okapi32 for assisting with this thread.

    Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?
