Forcefield
Forcefield is a Green unit and part of the base set. It's a cheap unit that consumes a Drone to increase 
defense value.

Strategy[edit | edit source]
Forcefield is the basic drone-for-defense unit (similar to Plexo Cell). It allows you to convert your Drones into better defense. Forcefields are often your only recourse when trying to keep a high absorbing defender alive, but spamming Forcefields puts pressure on your economy. If you are unable to sustain an equal or greater amount of pressure on your opponent, your worsened economy will make it difficult to maintain a suitable defense.
Note that buying a Conduit in the early game in order to pile up some 
green is required to build Forcefield (and hopefully save your late game defense).
Remember, drones are just another resource in meeting the win condition of destroying all the enemies units. If a Forcefield keeps a Doomed Wall or Defense Grid alive, it can be well worth the economic loss!
The cheap 
gold cost of Forcefield during the mid-game usually means that you can buy extra 
attackers as opposed to buying an expensive blocker. This can help maintain pressure on your opponent!
If you think you will need to use Forcefields to help with your defense, be careful about units reducing your base Drone count (Vivid Drone, Trinity Drone), as they might leave you with no Drone to sacrifice.
