To counter proximity shield monsters, the player can:

Several variations of proximity shield exist:

  • The Temporal Proximity Shield modifier can occur on enemies randomly. It also inflicts a debuff Temporal Bubble, that slows action speed, cooldown recovery rate, and debuff expiration.
  • Expedition's Unearthed Soldiers temporarily buff themselves and nearby allies with a directional proximity shield, which can be bypassed by attacking from behind in addition to proximity.[1]
  • Specific monster types can have proximity shields as a skill.

Players can benefit from proximity shields by stealing modifiers from enemies with effects like HeadhunterHeadhunter
