UNIT NAME: Gungan Phalanx
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Tank, Gungan
Key Attributes:
- Gains Taunt when the ally Shield Generator loses multiple stacks of Plasma Shielding in a turn
- While the Shield Generator is active, Gungans are immune to Protection Disruption and gain Foresight whenever Phalanx assists
- Raise Da Shield to reflect some of the incoming damage with Retaliate and protect your allies with Shield Up
- Assists his allies when he is not damaged by the enemy
- Phalanx brings the first Omicron for Galactic Challenges. Now those pesky feats might not be as difficult.
Inspiration:
- When deciding on Phalanx we looked at the Gungan's Military unit Militiagung and saw a shield which would seem to be a perfect choice for a tank in the squad.
- Both of Phalanx's special ability uses the shield in unique way one of which is deflecting incoming fire just like in the Battle of Naboo
- For Phalanx abilities we looked at unique ways Phalanx could use his shield against the enemy
Strategy Tips:
- Fierce Poke can inflict Defense Down or Daze if they already have Defense Down, and also provides Protection Over Time when attacking out of turn, making it difficult to defeat his other allies.
- Heyo, Watch Out gives Phalanx Taunt and inflicts the enemy with Tenacity Down allowing for all the powerful Gungan debuffs to be applied.
- Phalanx gains Max Protection whenever he uses an ability while Taunting which increases his potential damage from Raise Da Shield.

Just trying to help
This is a Bloons Tower Defence map yeah?
Simply rename it to "Health Shield (Up)" and "Protection Shield (Up)" and then you can still have "Bonus Health Shield" and "Bonus Protection Shield."
4 different mechanics, all distinguishable and also actually descriptive of what they are using for their intensity values.
Edit: And yes then you will have to re-do the wording on abilities that "ignore protection" to state that they "Ignore shield effects and protection" but that's really not that hard
