Shield

If the player uses the hold version of the Xenochromatic Armored Crab's ability to counterattack the crab while it is shielded, the shield will be reduced by 1/3 and the Sternshield Crab will launch its own counterattack in the form of a projectile, dealing 10% ATK to shielded characters or 70% ATK to non-shielded characters as Hydro DMG on hit. After the player lands 3 successive counterattacks on the Sternshield Crab and depletes its shield, it will be instantly defeated. However, if the player fails to launch successive counterattacks, the Sternshield Crab will remove its shield.
HP Loss
While not shielded, every time the it is hit by the counterattack of the hold version of the Xenochromatic Armored Crab's ability, it will lose 20% of its Max HP.

Tutorial[]

Sternshield Crab
Tutorial Sternshield Crab
An aquatic life form that has embarked on a unique evolutionary track due to Fontaine's environmental factors. When under the effects of Pyro, it can unleash fiercer elemental attacks and possesses even stronger defensive capabilities. If you use Elemental Reactions to remove its Elemental Shield, things should be easier to handle.

Descriptions[]

A crab that makes its home in borrowed shells.
Armored Crabs are constantly searching for shells that fit their bodies as they grow. A storybook that told the tale of the trials of an Armored Crab searching for a suitable shell was extremely popular in Fontaine for a time. Though the story is filled with childlike wonder, the reaction after proved that, like many fairytales, it touched adults even more deeply.
