How to unlock the Element of Surprise achievement in Gotham Knights - Definitive Guide

Supercharged elemental enemies are the ones inside color bubbles. For the breaks to count, you must break the bubble BEFORE they die.

Red Shields break to acid.
White shields to electricity
Blue shields to fire.
Thunder Shields to stun.

There are multiple ways to do this, but what worked for me was crafting/equipping an electric batarang, using elemental effect increase mods (the ones that look like atoms) and loading up Floor 12. Kill the enemy waves until you reach a section where you have to repair generators. White shields will constantly spawn if you don't do the repairs. Go nuts with your batarang, and you'll see the electric blasts cancel out the white shields quickly.

If you're killing them instantly, craft a lower level electric batarang.

Kills are tracked in real time, so no need to finish the level to save, it will pop as soon as you break your 50th bubble shield.

There's exactly one white shield enemy in that part for me. And he takes AGES to respawn.

Yes, they are slow to respawn and it's only one white shield dude per wave. It was better for me to just keep repeating the first fight of that stage, I could get around 8 white shield enemies on the 4th and 5th wave.

A holy chainsaw's solution worked fine for me. The guys with white shields respawn pretty quickly as long as you are killing the other enemies in a timely manner. I frequently had 2 to 3 white shield guys on screen at the same time.

If you’re killing them too quickly, you can also increase the difficulty slightly. Allows more hits before they die, but the shield still breaks pretty quickly

Just wanted to point out an important thing: every Supercharged bubble broken by any of your teammates counts as well.

To get the achievement, you need to knock down the round shields of enemies with a certain element. For some reason this is not written down in the game, but each faction has a separate shield and it is knocked down only by one specific element:
  • Red shields (fire) are killed by acid.
  • White shields (star) are killed by electricity.
  • Blue shields (ice) are killed by fire.
  • Purple shields (electricity) are killed by stun (asterisk).

To knock down the shield, it is enough to apply an elemental effect; the easiest way to apply it is with a ranged attack . To apply an elemental effect, you need to equip a weapon with the desired effect and insert mods to increase the elemental effect. If the damage is too great and the enemy dies before you apply an elemental effect to him, you can equip an item of a lower level.
IMPORTANT! If you kill an enemy before the shield breaks, most likely it will not count towards this achievement. Simply killing enemies with shields only counts toward the " Renewable Enemy Source " achievement.

Craft a ranged weapon with a fire effect, set the modifier to enhance the effects, the difficulty is very easy. The second floor, the last room, where you need to repair 4 generators, but we don’t touch the generators themselves so that the enemies spawn endlessly. Two bulls with charged blue shields will also appear here - we shoot at them until the effect scale is full. In about 40 minutes you will get the required number for the trophy. The main thing is to kill enemies so that new ones come out.
