When fighting large numbers of Brutes, the bubble shield is useful as it protects you from all sides. However, certain berserk [[Brute]]s can go inside the sphere and beat you down. It is particularly useful against [[Drones]], partly because they usually surround you, and partly because they will almost never attempt to go inside the sphere. Do be aware, however, that after 20 seconds, the Shield will deactivate, leaving you wide open to an attack. Another situation in which the bubble shield is useful is protecting you from a [[Scarab]] detonation. It will stop the explosion from harming you completely, unless the explosion starts on the inside of the bubble shield. So it is advised that you at least exit the Scarab before using the bubble shield (Beware that the Scarab's debris will fall through the Bubble Shield, and could kill you).
