Jetshift/Shields

Shields are a new type of accessory in the Jetshift Mod.

Each shield has a random chance of deflecting an attack and increasing it's strength, such as direct contact with an enemy or a projectile.

When the criteria is met, upon being hit by a projectile, the projectile's velocity will be reversed back to it's target, dealing damage to enemies on contact. Upon contact with an enemy, the damage will be deflected, similar to a Thorns effect.

Shields don't have an infinite lifespan, as they will break after a certain number of deflections.

Trivia

 * Shields were inspired by a mechanic in Minecraft - blocking with a shield will send back incoming attacks, sometimes damaging the attacker.
