EMP Shield
Advantages
The emp shield has a very low drain and protects very well against emp damage. This is also a great aug to use in conjunction with emp grenades or the spy drone. Turn on your shield and fire off emp attacks at close range with near impunity. Your enemy is suddenly weaker, while your own energy is barely depleted.
Disadvantages
This only blocks emp damage, and thus is of limited usefulness. It should also be noted that the shielding effect is lessened the closer you are to the center of the emp attack. Standing at the fringe of an emp blast with the shield on means you take minimal drain. Standing at the center of an emp grenade will still drain you for a significant amount.
Opposing
Someone ignoring or lobbing emp attacks everywhere is easy to spot as using this aug. Stay as far away as possible and hit them as hard and fast as you can. If they are throwing emp attacks at you, that means they aren't actually causing damage, which is a perfect time to dish out some damage yourself.
