Blast Shell

Shieldbreaker
A fast railgun-like bolt that does significant damage and can destroy enemy shields. Cooldown = 20 seconds. Priority: 4/5.

Shockstream
Fires a sustained mid-range blast of electricity. Holding R2 maintains Shockstream, which can be reapplied after moving as long as it's not on cooldown. Cooldown = 20 seconds. Priority: 3/5.
