Raiders now carry shields only the right element can break

Some raiders in Shattered Rift now fly with elemental wards, so one weapon setting won't carry a fight. A violet shield only gives way to Chain, frost plating melts under Ember, and heat fins need Cryo to quench them. Read the glow, switch elements, and press the attack.

Kills land harder too. A ship breaks apart into pieces of the element that finished it, and bigger ships shed parts that keep venting as they drift. Fights no longer end after a single wave, because reinforcements arrive while you are still in them.

Top: three warded raiders, then the same group a moment later as an Ember kill tears one apart. Bottom: dropping into a new world, Glass Meridian, which is named as you arrive.
