The Iron Shell series is a Real Time chip that fires an Iron Shell that travels forwards in a straight line. It deals Element 6 Break.png Break element damage. It hits twice on the backmost row, with the first hit dealing Flinching damage, and the second hit deals Flinching and Flashing damage. It is unable to travel over Hole panels and will stop when reaching them.

Competitive Overview

Iron Shell is almost never used in competitive play. While it is one of the few Element 6 Break.png Break element Non Dimming Chips, it is rarely used. It is fairly difficult to consistently land the second hit of Iron Shell, making it fairly low on damage. It is also easy to stop with Hole panels and can often be completely denied.

Iron Shell 2 can be used in E-Code alongside Chip Icon 6 Standard 034.png ElcPuls2, and Chip Icon 6 Standard 079.png WindRack. This allows the attacks to chain with each other, and push the opponent to the back which achieves the second hit requirement. However, E-Code also contains Chip Icon 6 Standard 049.png AuraHed2 which can be preffered to using Iron Shell 2 because of the ease of landing, and more consistent damage.
