This mode is the opposite of the Racing Mode. All the power is
delivered to the AT-Field. The shield is strong enough to completely
absorb all damage coming from the front. Not only does the AT-Field
defend the player but it also reflects the attacks, which allows the
player to throw the projectiles back at your opponent. This mode has
a strong disadvantage though, the player can’t move nor jump while in
Shield mode; he can only pivot upon himself. Only one weapon can get
through the shield, the Lance of Longinus.
It’s important to understand that while running on the Battery, the
Racing and Shield modes require much more energy than Normal Mode.
The Battery Time then switches from 5 to 1 minute.
