Shieldguard
- This article is about the friendly device. For the elite enemy, see Guerrilla Shieldguard.
Shieldguards are deployable devices in Arknights.
A Guerrilla Shieldguard who fights alongside Rhodes Island in the memory of Patriot, Shieldguards have respectable overall stats including an aggression level of 2, but cannot be actively healed by friendly units (passive healing will heal them). Nevertheless, they are capable of distracting and holding back enemies, giving the Operators an opportunity to dispatch them.
Appearances[edit]
The Shieldguards are always pre-deployed in the operations they are featured.
