If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Can anyone lay out the three shield types and which weapons work best and worst against each? I know it's not a lot of work to figure it out, but I'm at school at the moment. Also, could someone tell me how much better or worse the guns work against shields, like lasers do 125% of their rated damage against positrons and 75% against gravitons?

The answer to both questions is 'yes'. Proof is here. Got any more trick questions for us?

P.S.: there are three shield types and three gun type groups, but you need to memorize only the strengths/weaknesses for two shield types; the strength/weakness combo for the third shield type can then be deduced (it is the rest that remains). Example:

graviton - strongest against laser/photon/pulse, weakest against plasma/particle
positron - strongest against neutron/tachyon, weakest against laser/photon/pulse.

The remaining shield type (molecular) must therefore be strongest against plasma/particle and weakest against neutron/tachyon.
