Fire Shield
The Fire Shield is a shield in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 that creates a wall of flame around the character. While this shield is activated, the character’s blaster can rapidly shoot fireballs straight out that cause one heart of damage upon a hit (this is unusual and one of its disadvantages, since all other shields, including laser, do 2 hearts damage).
The fireballs cannot be used underwater, and so the gun then merely produces harmless bubbles. Some JJ2 manuals mention the fire shield as being able to scorch baddies the player touches, but that feature didn’t make it into the game. During the shield’s activity, the player cannot lose hearts although, if he is hit, the shield’s remaining time is decreased. It is also a JCS Event.
