Shield Monkey Class

Shield Monkeys are the Masters of Manipulating Shields. Shield Monkey's are the medic class of Star Sonata and play an important role of keeping the squad alive in addition to providing passive bonuses to the shields of squadmate's. They are one of the necessary classes for squad based content and are highly valuable in supporting a squad during PVP as well.

This class can use transference weapons offensively to steal shields from their enemies, provided the shield monkey is missing shields. This deals 2/3 of the weapon damage, costs 4.5x the weapon electricity cost, and heals the shield monkey for 3x the damage dealt up to their maximum shields.
