i think the ECU works best on light b cappers, since most of u say that its useless against missiles and i concur, the best course of action is to try to avoid the altogether, although missiles arent the only weapons u might happen to face and having shields while facing energy weapons really gives u an edge, in combat or retreating. At higher levels these things are as durable as heavy bots, so they can quite literally multiply the staying power of small bots.

ive put this on my gareth and it has really aided me in staying alive, i mostly use the gareth as a beacon capper and if i can  keep my distance, only tridents really pose a threat to me. Its fun to see a lot of snipers hammering me as hard as they can to attempt to stop me, while mi shields stop their trebuchets and zeus cold, taran/magnum griffins are also plentyful, which shields do help alot too.
