How to get Ancient Shield Overcharger
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 35) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.
- DLC: ancrel
In the game
Supercharging shields can be done safely thanks to ancient stabilizer coils and dampeners. In addition to the production of a stronger force field, this also has the added benefit of outright vaporizing certain incoming projectiles.
