Shell Psion

Shell Psion is one of the Vek from Into The Breach.

Description
Shell Psions appear similar to other Psions, with a squidlike body and bumps on its head. Its silver coloring and purple bumps make it stand out from other Psions.

The Shell Psion is able to be encountered from the start, but on only one island per playthrough.

The Shell Psion gives all other Vek the "Hardened Carapace" buff which reduces weapon damage by 1. All other types of damage are unaffected. (push; fire; etc.)

Strategy
It is usually good to kill the Shell Psion as soon as possible, as it makes other Vek much harder to kill.

The Flame Behemoths squad are very effective against Shell Psions, as that squad mostly does indirect fire damage.
